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.

Hydro and Wave Aluminium sign a new contract to recover valuable minerals from bauxite residue

EDITED BY : SARNALI CHAKRABORTY 2MINS READ

A contract signed between Hydro Alunorte and Wave Aluminium to construct a plant in Brazil that will process bauxite residue (red mud) to recover commercially valuable materials is expected to be operational by 2024. The facility will be constructed in Hydro Alunorte alumina refinery in Pará, Brazil.

The proposed red mud processing facility will initially be able to treat 50,000 tonnes of bauxite residue annually using a novel mix of disruptive technologies. The new method will transform bauxite refuse into a resource and has demonstrated success in laboratory tests.

"The preliminary results are highly promising and indicate a revolutionary scenario for the global aluminium industry when converting residue into products," stated Gustavo Emina, CEO of Wave Aluminium.

Hydro and Wave Aluminium sign a new agreement to recover valuable minerals from bauxite residue

After the bauxite ore's processing to produce alumina, the primary raw material used to manufacture aluminium, bauxite residue is produced. Globally, significant amounts of bauxite residue are produced yearly and permanently stored.

The bauxite residue processing plant's technology was created and patented by Wave Aluminium. This way, it will be possible to isolate minerals and convert them into commodities sold at a profit. It is possible to extend the plant to handle 2-4 million tonnes of bauxite residue annually. This project will help Hydro reach its goals of eliminating the requirement for new permanent bauxite residue storage by 2050 and using 10 per cent of bauxite residue output by 2030.

“We are working hard to minimize the impact of our operations. We have already eliminated the need for permanent storage of bauxite tailings in the bauxite mine, using a pioneering technology called Tailings Dry Backfill, where bauxite tailings are dried and brought back to the mined out areas prior to rehabilitation. I am excited to get the bauxite residue processing plant in operation at Alunorte, further reducing the environmental footprint of our operations,” said John Thuestad, Executive Vice President for Hydro Bauxite & Alumina.
