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.

GMG, University of Queensland collaborates to manufacture graphene aluminium-ion batteries

EDITED BY : RUPANKAR MAJUMDER 2MINS READ

The clean-technology company, Graphene Manufacturing Group (GMG), which has developed and proved its proprietary production process to manufacture Graphene powder from readily available low-cost feedstock, manifested a research agreement with the University of Queensland’s Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (AIBN) for the manufacture of graphene aluminium-ion batteries.

The prototypes of the commercial battery will be developed for watches, phones, laptops, electric vehicles, and grid storage. GMG has also set foot into a license agreement with Uni Quest, the University of Queensland’s commercialization company, for exclusive license of the battery cathode technology.

AIBN Professors Michael Yu, Dr. Xiaodan Huang, and postdoctoral student Yueqi Kong’s technology devise usage drive the battery to charge up to 70 times faster and have recorded higher sustainability than the lithium-ion battery by compelling graphene into a more efficient electrode for powering batteries.

AIBN Director Professor Alan Rowan said, “We are delighted to partner with GMG to translate scientific ideas into commercial solutions through the development of more efficient and greener batteries. The batteries are rechargeable for a larger number of cycles without deteriorating performance and are easier to recycle, reducing the potential for harmful metals to leak into the environment.”

Aluminium-ion batteries rank as a much safer and greener alternative to lithium-ion. The latter has been known to cause fires in some mobile phones and demand the extraction of rare earth materials using large amounts of water and then processed with chemicals that can harm the environment.

Craig Nicol, CEO, GMG stated: “To use local raw materials to manufacture battery cells at a competitive cost to replace imported lithium-ion cells is a massive opportunity for GMG and Australia, to reduce supply chain risks and create local jobs.”
