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.

GFG Alliance celebrates 90th anniversary of Lochaber aluminium smelter

EDITED BY : HEENA IQBAL 2MINS READ

GFG Alliance celebrated the 90th anniversary of its Lochaber hydro-electric plant and aluminium smelter. Past and present employees of the UK’s only aluminium factory gathered in Fort William to celebrate the milestone occasion.

The facility produces up to 50,000 tonnes of aluminium annually, powered by renewable energy from fresh water running off the slopes of Scotland’s highest mountain.

Sanjeev Gupta, Executive Chairman of the GFG Alliance, said: “The Lochaber complex was an engineering triumph, requiring 2,000 men to drive tunnels through the solid rock of the Ben Nevis range. That Highland ‘can do’ spirit has endured for generations as Lochaber has kept lights ablaze and provided high quality metal for use across British industry.

“I’m very proud that the GFG Alliance is not only keeping that tradition going in Lochaber but is investing in staff, capacity and in downstream manufacturing. This is a very special place and it’s a privilege to be a part of its history. As we drive this project forward we have added forty people to our Fort William team.

Coinciding with the event, the GFG Alliance published its first Scottish report detailing industrial investment of £500m in six aluminium, steel and energy sites across Scotland, the creation or safeguard of over 400 jobs and spending of nearly £22m with local suppliers, according to the company’s press release.

“Liberty has invested nearly £5 million in preparatory work for a downstream manufacturing plant in Fort William. Options under consideration include an automotive wheels plant or, in view of a downturn in UK car production, alternative industrial uses for the liquid aluminium produced in the Lochaber smelter – such as industrial extrusions or water bottles.”

Amanda Mackenzie, Chief Executive of Business in the Community, said: “GFG’s commitment to the Scottish economy, investment in their surrounding communities and recycled metal production sets an incredible example for others to follow.”
