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.

Global aluminium production drops 1.6% Q-o-Q in Q1 2026, led by declines across Africa, GCC, South America, and Oceania

Global aluminium production falls 1.6% in Q1 2026, led by declines in Africa, Gulf, South America and Oceania

Image generated by AI or for illustrative purpose

The opening quarter of 2026 presents a curious contradiction. On the surface, global aluminium production slipped-from 18.6 million tonnes in Q4 2025 to 18.3 million tonnes in Q1 2026, a 1.6 per cent decline. But step back, and the bigger picture tells a different story: output remains 1.1 per cent higher than Q1 2025 levels. So what changed so quickly-and why did almost every region move in the same direction?

A cooling cycle, starting with China in Q1 2026

The slowdown did not come from one place. It showed up everywhere, almost at once.

China, which still dominates global supply, nudged lower from 11.1 million tonnes in Q4 2025 to 11.0 million tonnes in Q1 2026 - a 0.9 per cent dip. On paper, that looks minor. In reality, it says a lot about where the system stands today.
