Calculate Embedded Emissions for Unwrought Aluminium (HS7601)

Enter your input

Payable emissions (tCO₂e/t)

Total CBAM Cost (€)

Notes:
There may be a difference when calculating the price with respect to import volume, carbon price, and benchmark emissions, as the embedded formula may result in minor variations due to decimal rounding. Therefore, the actual value may vary.

CBAM is applicable to trade volumes starting from 50 metric tonnes. For trade volumes below 50 metric tonnes, CBAM does not apply.

Usage Procedure – How to use the CBAM Calculator Sheet

Enter or update values only in the INPUT
PARAMETERS section (Highlighted in blue) , including
the carbon price, benchmark emissions, CBAM
chargeable percentage (as per the phase-in year),
and imported quantity.

The system will automatically calculate the payable
emissions and the total CBAM cost (€) based on the
inputs provided.

Notes:
• Change any input value to automatically update CBAM cost.
• Formula used: Carbon price × payable emissions × quantity.
• Model aligned with CBAM supplier-side illustrative methodology.

China issues fourth batch of aluminium scrap quotas for 2020 allowing 100 tonnes

EDITED BY : DEBANJALI SENGUPTA 2MINS READ

China’s environmental authorities on Saturday, March 7, announced the fourth batch of aluminium scrap import quotas for 2020, which would allow 100 more tonnes of high-grade aluminium scrap to China. With this quota, the total aluminium scrap import allowed for this year comes to 284,549 tonnes.

The volume of import quotas so far stood 87.5 per cent higher than the actual imports in the fourth quarter of 2019, but 14.2 per cent lower than the actual imports in the first quarter of 2019.

After the decline in aluminium scrap import quotas in the fourth quarter of 2019, shortage of supply took place and kept aluminium scrap prices at high levels till the 2020 Chinese New Year holiday. The holidays in the secondary aluminium sector extended due to the Coronavirus outbreak, with production suspension at small-scale recyclers. This further reduced the scrap supply and kept bolstering high prices post-holiday.

SMM anticipates aluminium scrap prices to face some headwinds in the coming weeks as downstream demand has seen a hit by the virus outbreak. The combination of poor demand and slow inflow of seaborne materials is likely to keep prices of ADC12 aluminium alloy ingot, a type of finished product of secondary aluminium, under pressure in the near term. Also, declines in aluminium prices are likely to restraint aluminium scrap prices from growth.

According to SMM estimates, China’s aluminium scrap imports for 2020 could halve from a year ago.
