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 aluminium imports report record-high at 2.7MT in 2020; Imports in December surge 147.3% on year

EDITED BY : DEBANJALI SENGUPTA 1MINS READ

China, the world’s biggest aluminium producer, imported 265,569 tonnes of unwrought aluminium and aluminium products in December, the highest since September 2020, found the General Administration of Customs data. The import volume in December was up by 40.43 per cent month-on-month from 188,973 tonnes and by 147.3 per cent on year.

Full-year shipments in 2020 were 2.7 million tonnes, up 318.7 per cent than in 2019. Rapid demand recovery for aluminium in China after the COVID-19 outbreak led to Shanghai aluminium price surge over London, resulting in an open arbitrage for cheaper imports.

China’s aluminium imports in 2020, including both primary aluminium and unwrought alloy, surpassed the previous annual record set in 2009. China turned net importer in July and August for the first time in over a decade.

China’s aluminium exports in 2020 fell to 4.86 million tonnes, the lowest annual total since 2017, found the customs data.

Primary aluminium production in China meanwhile rose to a record-high of 37.08 million tonnes, up 4.9 per cent year-on-year. Output in December stood all-time high at 3.27 million tonnes, surpassing the previously monthly record of 3.2 million tonnes in October 2020, showed the National Bureau of Statistics on Monday, January 18.
