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’s alumina output depletes 6.8% in Feb’24 due to weaker operating rates in Henan, Guizhou & Guangxi

EDITED BY : DEBANJALI SENGUPTA 2MINS READ

According to the Shanghai Metals Market, China’s metallurgical-grade alumina production in February 2024 (29 calendar days) amounted to 6.262 million tonnes, experiencing a 6.8 per cent fall from 6.72 million tonnes in January (31 days). But on a year-on-year basis, the output increased by 2.4 per cent.

The average daily production in February 2024 was 215,900 tonnes a day, down by 0.42 per cent from 216,800 tonnes in the previous month.

As of the end of February 2024, China’s alumina production capacity was 100 million tonnes, with an operating capacity of 78.82 million tonnes.

The month-on-month downfall in China’s alumina production is attributed to weaker operating rates in a few Chinese provinces such as Henan, Guizhou, and Guangxi. In Henan, the alumina operating rate was 55 per cent in February, down by 1.7 per cent M-o-M. In Guizhou, the operating rate decreased significantly by 10.8 per cent to 75.2 per cent and that in Guangxi fell by 1.8 per cent from January to 82.3 per cent. Some alumina refineries in Guizhou suspended production around the Spring Festival in early February, which affected an annual production of 600,000 tonnes. This production is expected to resume in mid-March. Similarly, some alumina refineries in Guangxi reduced production in February due to the inadequate availability of bauxite, affecting the annual production capacity of 500,000 tonnes.

In Shanxi and Shandong, the alumina operating rate saw a 1.3 per cent and 0.6 per cent rise, respectively, during February 2024. That was mainly because an alumina refinery in Shanxi, which was forced to reduce production due to tight ore supply, returned to full operation in late February. The alumina production in Hebei was generally stable in February, and reached full production in late February.

For March 2024, SMM estimates the average daily output to stand at 217,500 tonnes per day and the operating capacity to reach 79.37 million tonnes, up 1.48 per cent year-on-year.
