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.

Cranfield University claims to have produced the biggest 3D-printed metal part till date

EDITED BY : BEETHIKA BISWAS 2MINS READ

Cranfield University has claimed that they have produced the biggest single metal 3D-printed part to date. The current record is held by Oak Ridge National Laboratory who built a trim and drill tool for a Boeing 777X passenger jet measuring 17.5ft x 5.5ft x 1.5ft.

The University’s AM programme has produced a six-metre-long, 300-kg, double-sided spar from aerospace-grade aluminium on Cranfield’s new 10-metre metal 3D printer. The students have used Cranfield’s own Wire + Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) process to make this part. The printer would soon be upgraded to make titanium parts.

According to Cranfield experts, WAAM is the most suitable process for the printing of large structural components for the aerospace sector. It is also suitable for the oil and gas, automotive and energy sector equipment parts.

Commenting on the achievement, Professor Stewart Williams, Head of Cranfield’s Additive Manufacturing programme said, “Hundreds of millions of pounds are spent on medium to large-scale components by the aerospace industry each year…There is great potential for significant cost savings in terms of waste and production efficiency if we can transform the way these parts are manufactured. This demonstration clearly shows the potential of the WAAM process with this newly-acquired machine for changing future manufacturing processes.”

The record breaking size spar was designed by students as an experiment to test the capability of the new WAAM machine and to assess the challenges of printing such a large structure. The team found out that WAAM can make about 70% of cost savings in comparison to the traditional machine-from-solid process. The process can cut lead time from about a year to just a few weeks.

Cranfield is working on the WAAM process in collaboration with 20 industry partners and 13 further universities to explore its commercial viability. The AM programme at Cranfield is made up of 30 people and a portfolio of around 70 projects. The team is working with large aerospace original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to help the aviation industry find a more sustainable manufacturing process solution.
