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.

ETI raises concern over proposed Aughinish Alumina refinery expansion

EDITED BY : NILANJANA BANERJEE 2MINS READ

Alumina Plant Expansion

The Environmental Trust Ireland (ETI), an environmental organisation, is set to initiate a High Court case regarding the proposed expansion plans of the Russian Aughinish Alumina refinery in County Limerick. Scheduled to begin on March 4, the case relates to proposals to increase the height of the bauxite residue, i.e., red mud, storage area from 32 metres to 44 metres or 144 feet.

ETI has also expressed concerns over plans to expand the refinery’s quarry blasting area by an additional 9.6 acres, bringing the total quarry footprint to 20.75 acres.

ETI is represented by the law firm, Hayes Solicitors Limerick. The president of the environmental organisation is the Limerick solicitor Michelle Hayes. The case was referred to by Ms Hayes as a “David v Goliath situation.”

“Environmental Trust Ireland is a voice for the environment and the protection of human health. Independent of political, commercial, and industrial interests,” she stated. In her opinion, to maintain balance between the community and industry, the natural environment is to be looked after.

ETI has outlined several environmental considerations, including the proximity of the quarry blasting area to the bauxite residue disposal site. The organisation has raised concerns that blasting activity could potentially affect the stability of the red mud area, which could result in a delicate outcome situation for the Shannon Estuary.

Ms Hayes also highlighted the well-being of “the dolphins which inhabit the Shannon Estuary” and advised reviewing the “impacts of quarry blasting noise” and related consequences. “The estuary is unique and biodiversity-rich, which is recognised and protected at [the] European level. It is irreplaceable,” Ms Hayes added.

The High Court proceedings will examine the issues raised in relation to environmental protection and operational safeguards associated with the proposed expansion.
