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.

FACE urges European authorities to remove import tariffs on unwrought aluminium

EDITED BY : DEBANJALI SENGUPTA 2MINS READ

The Federation of Aluminium Consumers in Europe (FACE) has reportedly launched a campaign to urge the European authorities to remove import tariffs on primary aluminium, particularly, unwrought aluminium. The import tariffs range between 3 per cent and 6 per cent.

In support of this campaign, FACE has published a study commissioned to the LUISS University in Rome that shows maintaining the import tariffs on unwrought aluminium had incurred an extra-cost of up to €18 billion on the EU's downstream aluminium sector between 2000 and 2017. The downstream sector accounts for 92 per cent of the jobs and 70 per cent of the turnover of the European Union’s aluminium industry.

The LUISS study also shows that the 6 per cent import tariff on unwrought aluminium for protecting EU producers could not prevent the structural decline of the continent’s smelting base through closures and disinvestments by big producing groups. Since 2008, around 30 per cent of the EU’s primary aluminium producing capacity is lost and reduced to 2 million tonnes annually. Large producers have neither kept promises to keep jobs and invest in R&D centres.

Meanwhile, the demand for aluminium products in the EU has grown by almost 3 per cent annually to over 12 million tonnes per year.

"There is no duty-free priced unwrought aluminium available to EU users and consumers. Through a non-transparent market mechanism, the equivalent of the value of the highest level of the tariffs structure, or 6%, is included in the market premium for all the unwrought aluminium sold in the EU, irrespective of origin," said Roger Bertozzi, EU and Multilateral affairs at FACE.

Mario Conserva, Secretary-General of FACE, stresses: "not only do EU aluminium consumers pay more than they should for their raw material, but they also unwillingly "subsidise" EU and extra-EU producers who benefit from artificially higher prices. This situation is unfair, destructive and cannot continue unchecked."

According to the LUISS study, the import tariff has hindered the growth of downstream aluminium sector. Its output is currently at pre-2008 levels.
