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.

Enhanced aluminium separation achieved through advanced metal sorting technology

EDITED BY : PRERANA PRADHAN 1MINS READ

On March 30, 2025, a UK recycling facility adopted Redwave XRF sorting machines to improve aluminium separation. With this initiative, the business aims to improve the efficiency and purity of recycled aluminium, reducing waste and contamination.

The upgrade enables efficient processing of zorba, WEEE, used beverage cans, incinerator bottom ash and mixed metal fractions.

Redwave XRF sorting machines use X-ray fluorescence to identify and separate metals based on their elemental composition. Previously, aluminium separation relied on identifying accompanying elements like copper or zinc, making alloy sorting difficult. The new system accurately distinguishes aluminium alloys, ensuring better material classification and purity.

The technology allows precise sorting of aluminium alloys such as 6060/6063 and series 1xxx–7xxx. Higher purity improves access to lucrative markets by delivering premium-quality materials. A single machine now meets various sorting requirements, optimising operations.

Recyclers benefit from increased productivity with lower energy consumption. Improved quality enhances the value of recovered aluminium, supporting circular economy goals. Advanced sorting solutions like Redwave XRF ensure a more efficient and sustainable future for aluminium recycling.
