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.

German Researchers to develop Aluminium-Ion battery, replacing Lithium

EDITED BY : HEENA IQBAL 2MINS READ

Researchers at the Technical University of Freiberg in Germany are endeavouring to develop aluminium ion batteries replacing lithium ion technology. German researchers have also been trying to develop a cathode that will work with the aluminium ion battery.

News
The R2RBattery project at the Technical University of Freiberg has studied that aluminium meets the criteria for use in batteries. Ample amount of aluminium is available and it has been found to be of high energy density.

Tilmann Leisegang, project manager professor, said, “It is the most frequent metal in the earth crust, it is easy to be produced and to recycle. In contrast to lithium it does not catch fire in contact with the air which translates into much higher safety. In addition, it is easier to process.”

He further stated that aluminium is a cost effective alternative to lithium and can accumulate extra energy than convention technology.

The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) have funded the project in part as well as nine other institutions are engaged in the project.

Some of the other institutions that are conducting research on the aluminium ion usage in rechargeable batteries are the University of Maryland, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Cornell University, Stanford University, and various other European institutions under the rubric of the ALION Project.
