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 East Hope Group, one of the world’s largest aluminium producers, is considering an investment of USD 12.6 billion in Kazakhstan’s bauxite mining and aluminium sector, according to the country’s Ministry of Industry and Construction. The proposal was discussed during talks between Industry and Construction Minister Yersayin Nagaspayev and East Hope Group’s Director for Strategic Investments, Chen Lei.

The investment plan builds on earlier discussions held on February 17, 2025, when East Hope Group announced plans to invest more than USD 12 billion in Kazakhstan’s green aluminium and non-ferrous metals sector following meetings with senior Kazakh officials. The broader initiative includes mining, raw material processing, an aluminium smelter with electrolysis facilities, and captive power generation, and is expected to create nearly 10,000 jobs.

The company is at the moment conducting a geological exploration programme in several locations in the Aktobe and Kostanay regions as part of the process of developing an integrated aluminium production chain that will include, from bauxite extraction up to primary aluminium production in Kazakhstan. The plan entails developing an integrated green aluminium supply chain for Europe, Central Asia, and China while developing the industrial capabilities of Kazakhstan under the Belt and Road Initiative.

Moreover, a power plant with a capacity of 1 GW is under construction in the Kostanay region, which will allow for easy industrial development. Apart from studying the production of electricity using coal, the East Hope Group also aims to explore other avenues in renewable energy generation.
