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.

Egypt Aluminium Company (Egyptalum) is said to be looking for a USD 100 million loan to help fund the development of Egypt's first aluminium foil plant, which is deemed to play an important part in Egypt's strategy to strengthen its downstream aluminium industry, thereby decreasing the need for imports.

According to a report by a renowned news media, the financing will be arranged through a consortium of Egyptian and Gulf-based banks. The National Bank of Egypt is leading the process and managing the dollar-denominated loan, with the final financing agreement expected to be signed during the fourth quarter of 2026. The report cited unnamed sources familiar with the matter.

The initial step of the project will require about USD 90 million in investment and will produce 25,000 tonnes of aluminium foil each year. Future phases would lead to a cumulative investment in this venture of approximately USD 135 million, although no details are available on the total production rate at completion.

Egyptalum had previously earmarked EGP 1.4 billion (USD 28 million) within its investment budget for the 2025–2026 fiscal year to support the initial phase of the development.

The project comes as Egypt seeks to reduce its dependence on imported aluminium foil. The country currently spends nearly USD 140 million each year on foil imports, according to Kamel El-Wazir, former Minister of Industry and Deputy Prime Minister for Industrial Development.

The planned foil facility complements Egyptalum’s broader expansion strategy. In May 2026, the company entered into a strategic partnership with Trafigura to expand its Nag Hammadi Aluminium Complex through investments estimated at USD 750 million to USD 900 million.

Egyptalum is North Africa’s largest primary aluminium producer, with an annual production capacity of 320,000 tonnes. Approximately 60 per cent of its exports are shipped to European Union markets.
