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 Husnes B-Line resumes production after 10 years; expects to double aluminium output and offer hundred new jobs

EDITED BY : DEBANJALI SENGUPTA 2MINS READ

Hydro's aluminium plant in western Norway is all set to go back to full production as Husnes B-Line capacity resumed operation on November 24, after remaining idle since 2009 due to a financial crisis.

Hydro Husnes currently produces 95,000 tonnes of aluminium annually via the A line. This will increase to 195,000 tonnes when the 200 electrolysis cells in B-line restart the operation in full swing.

Hydro Husnes B-Line resumes production after 10 years

Hydro President & CEO Hilde Merete Aasheim said, “It is great that the B line at Hydro Husnes is finally producing aluminium again. The restart fits well with Hydro's strategy of lifting profitability and driving sustainability. The world will have access to more renewable energy-based and infinitely recyclable aluminum, and with the technology upgrades that have been implemented, we can produce and deliver in a more efficient, profitable and sustainable manner.”

Aasheim explained that Hydro restarted its Husnes B-Line capacity due to the increasing demand for aluminium and expectations that Norway would continue to utilise the European Union’s emissions trading system for 2021-30.

Aasheim also said, “We welcome framework conditions that pave the way for continued production of low-carbon aluminum in Norway to serve a world market that is increasingly demanding more of our products. Aluminum is on the EU's list of raw materials that will contribute to the European Green Deal with the goal of making Europe climate neutral by 2050. Our Norwegian aluminum production is based on hydro- and wind power and has among the world's lowest carbon footprint – making what we produce an important part of Europe’s 2050 goal.”

Eivind Kallevik, Executive Vice President of Hydro's Primary Metal business area, is of the opinion that the recommencement of Husnes B-Line is going to have positive effects on the local community. Besides doubling the aluminium output, the resumption of production at Line B will contribute to almost a hundred new jobs.
