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.

EGA collaborates with HILT CRC to decarbonise alumina refining at Al Taweelah

EDITED BY : DEBANJALI SENGUPTA 2MINS READ

Emirates Global Aluminium, the largest aluminium producer in the United Arab Emirates outside oil and gas, has reportedly collaborated with HILT CRC (Heavy Industry Low-carbon Transition Cooperative Research Centre) to conduct advanced research on decarbonising alumina refining.

HILT CRC is an Australian cooperative research centre that brings together the industries like steel, iron, alumina and cement, researchers, and the government to develop new technologies for decarbonisation.

In alumina refining, HILT focuses on decarbonising digestion and calcination - the two processes that account for maximum gas emissions from refineries. For EGA as well, these two processes are the biggest decarbonisation challenge at the Al Taweelah refinery.

EGA is HILT’s first industry partner outside Australia. EGA’s Al Taweelah alumina refinery is the only refinery in the United Arab Emirates, in operation since 2019.

Collaboration with HILT is one of the EGA’s steps towards reaching net zero by 2050. Abdulnasser Bin Kalban, Chief Executive Officer of EGA, said: “Joining HILT CRC enables EGA to participate with the Australian alumina refining industry in finding technological solutions to the toughest decarbonisation challenges in alumina refining. EGA has a long history of partnering with others on research and development, and we are continuing this approach as we strive towards net zero by 2050. I look forward to some ground-breaking results from this collaboration.”

HILT’s CEO, Felicity Lloyd, said: “EGA’s aspirations to be measured amongst the world’s most responsible metals and mining companies and their roadmap to reach net zero emissions by 2050, shows strong alignment with HILT CRC’s mission and strategy. EGA’s alumina refinery is one of the most modern in the world and is integrated with one of EGA’s world-scale aluminium smelters. EGA can make an important contribution to decarbonisation research including to the benefit of the Australian alumina industry. We look forward to collaborating on new technology developments and solutions to help the alumina industry to fully decarbonise.”
