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.

Chinese secondary aluminium producers operating rates increase for the second consecutive month in December 2020 to 62.65%

EDITED BY : DEBANJALI SENGUPTA 1MINS READ

According to Shanghai Metals Market data, secondary aluminium producers operating rates in China increased slightly by 0.23 percentage point month-on-month to stand at 62.65 per cent in December 2020. This marks the second consecutive month of rising in secondary aluminium operating rates as they grew by 4.9 percentage points month-on-month in November 2020 to 62.4 per cent.

However, on a year-on-year calculation, operating rates in December fell by 3.35 percentage points.

The monthly increase in December operating rates could be attributed to strong orders from downstream automakers. Some secondary aluminium produces trimmed output in the first half of 2020 due to shortage of raw materials, but it recovered in H2 2020 as aluminium scrap prices fell along with primary aluminium prices.

The secondary aluminium industry is still facing great pressure at present, with some producers likely to cut output due to a shortage of raw materials. Demand is also likely to decline as the traditional high season of the automobile market ends and as transportation is affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
