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.

Guizhou Power Grid imposes third round of power rationing on aluminium smelters to curb energy shortage

EDITED BY : DEBANJALI SENGUPTA 2MINS READ

The Shanghai Metals Market reported on Thursday, January 5, that Guizhou Power Grid issued a new notice, stating the power load across the province continued to run at a high level due to the steep rise in heating demand for low temperatures. Therefore, the power shortage extended even after two rounds of restrictions on power consumption at aluminium smelters. The third round of energy rationing targeting the aluminium smelters is implemented to meet the peak demand in winter.

The new round of power rationing has so far ordered five aluminium producers, namely Guizhou Huaren New Material Co., Ltd., Zunyi Aluminium Co., Ltd., Guizhou Liupanshui Shuangyuan Aluminum Industry Co., Ltd., Guizhou Xingren Denggao New Material Co., Ltd. and Anshun Aluminium Co., Ltd., to cut their power consumption by 500,000 kilowatts together within the next five days, starting from January 5.

On December 13, Guizhou Power Grid issued the first notice to reduce the combined power load of 700,000 kilowatts on five aluminium smelters, which lasted for five days. The second notice was released on December 28, instructing five smelters to save a total power load of 300,000 kilowatts within the next three days.

The two rounds of power rationing saved a power supply of 1 million kilowatts, which could be converted to an annualized aluminium production capacity of 640,000 tonnes. The third round of rationing will need smelters in Guizhou to reduce aluminium production by about 300,000 tonnes.

According to SMM data, the operating aluminium capacity in Guizhou was about 1.35 million tonnes at the end of November 2022, which also included some of the new capacities. But the energy constraint imposed tremendous pressure on the production of new capacity, resulting in deferring or slowing the commissioning of their operations, including Guizhou Yuanhao's new aluminium project with a total of about 86,000 tonnes.

This ongoing process of rationing power consumption is most likely to affect aluminium output as the production restriction is unlikely to ease even after the smelters seek negotiation with the Power Grid.
