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.

Guinea revives bauxite project

Guinea has signed a new mining agreement with state-owned Nimba Mining Company. This is to restart operations at the former Guinea Alumina Corporation (GAC) bauxite mine and move forward with plans to build an alumina refinery.

The agreement, announced by the Guinean presidency on August 3, marks the next stage in the government's plan to revive the bauxite project after withdrawing the mining concession from Guinea Alumina Corporation (GAC). Nimba Mining Company was established in August 2025 to take over the project.

The Guinean government revoked GAC's concession after the company failed to build the alumina refinery it had committed to as part of an earlier agreement. GAC had received tax exemptions in return for constructing the refinery, according to the authorities.

Under the new mining convention, Nimba Mining Company will also develop an alumina refinery, but the project will proceed under Guinea's existing mining code without the tax incentives previously granted to GAC. The company said it will comply with all applicable extraction and export taxes.

Nimba Mining plans to appoint an engineering company by the end of 2026 to carry out feasibility studies for the refinery. The study is expected to take around 18 months, with completion targeted for mid-2028.

Construction of the refinery will begin only after the feasibility study is completed. The company has not yet announced the planned production capacity, project cost or construction schedule.

To support the restart of the bauxite operation, Nimba Mining has signed a financing agreement with commodity trader Glencore, which will provide a USD 350 million advance secured against future bauxite production. The funding relates to future bauxite sales and is not a direct investment in the refinery project.

Beyond bauxite, the company also plans to begin gold exploration in Guinea's Siguiri region through a partnership with Australia's Resolute Mining.

The mining agreement will take effect after it is ratified by Guinea's Parliament and officially published.
