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.

Hindalco Industries has said that recycling electronic waste and printed circuit boards could play an important role in recovering critical minerals and rare earth elements needed for India's future growth.

Speaking on the sidelines of the CII GreenCo 15th National Summit, Vaishali Surawar, Chief Sustainability Officer at Hindalco, said the company has commissioned an e-waste recycling facility at Pakhajan near Dahej to process electronic waste and recover valuable materials.

According to Surawar, the facility will focus on printed circuit boards and use a seven-stage process to extract metals from discarded electronics.

The recovered materials will include copper, rare earth elements and other specialty metals, which are increasingly important for sectors such as clean energy, electronics, transportation and advanced manufacturing.

The initiative forms part of Hindalco's wider sustainability and circular economy strategy, which focuses on improving resource efficiency and increasing the use of recycled materials.

Surawar noted that the company commissioned two recycling-related projects during the last financial year. One of these is focused on collecting end-of-life aluminium scrap and feeding it back into the production cycle.

She added that Hindalco has also introduced products made from recycled aluminium, while its subsidiary Novelis, the world's largest aluminium recycler, currently recycles around 64 per cent of end-of-life aluminium scrap.

Beyond recycling, the company continues to invest in sustainable mining practices. Surawar said Hindalco's Baflimali bauxite mine in Odisha has received certification from the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI), recognising its environmental, social and governance performance.

She also highlighted the growing importance of aluminium and copper for India's development, particularly in infrastructure, railways, aerospace and other strategic industries.

According to the company, Hindalco's standalone aluminium production capacity currently stands at around 1.36 million tonnes per year.
