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.

Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA) has restarted alumina production at its Al Taweelah alumina refinery in Abu Dhabi, marking another step in restoring operations at the company's integrated aluminium production complex.

EGA said alumina production is expected to reach 50 per cent of the refinery's capacity within days. The company expects to have the technical capability to ramp up to full production by the end of 2026, although the pace of further increases will depend on supply chain conditions and the optimisation of its alumina sourcing strategy.

The company noted that the ramp-up of aluminium production at the adjacent Al Taweelah smelter is not dependent on the refinery reaching full operating capacity.

In 2025, the Al Taweelah alumina refinery produced 2.4 million tonnes of alumina, supplying 46 per cent of EGA's alumina requirements. Alumina is the primary raw material used in aluminium smelting.

Commenting on the restart, Abdulnasser Bin Kalban, Chief Executive Officer of Emirates Global Aluminium, described the resumption of alumina production as another milestone in restoring the Al Taweelah site as one of the world's major aluminium production complexes. He added that the refinery team had enabled the restart to be completed safely and efficiently.

Production at the refinery was suspended on 28 March 2026 following Iranian attacks on Khalifa Economic Zone Abu Dhabi. The refinery resumed production of hydrate, the precursor to alumina, on 24 June, ahead of the restart of alumina production.

The Al Taweelah alumina refinery, which began operations in 2019, is located adjacent to the Al Taweelah aluminium smelter, with alumina transferred between the facilities through a conveyor belt system.
