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 signs 15-year contract with New Fortress Energy (NFE) for sourcing natural gas for Alunorte alumina refinery

EDITED BY : DEBANJALI SENGUPTA 2MINS READ

According to a recent report, Hydro has entered into a 15-year contract with New Fortress Energy (NFE) for the supply of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) to the Alunorte alumina refinery in Brazil, as part of the fuel-switch initiative to replace the refinery’s energy sources and reduce carbon emissions. Hydo aims at reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 30 per cent by 2030.

The agreement says the NFE will supply 29.5 TBtu of natural gas annually to Hydro’s Alunorte refinery from its Barcarena LNG receiving and regasification terminal located in the state of Pará, Brazil.

Alunorte will implement the calcination process and part of steam generation at the refinery to switch from fuel oil to natural gas as the energy source. This change is slated to be completed by the first quarter of 2023 and it will reduce the refinery’s annual carbon emissions by 600,000 tonnes.

“Alunorte is among the most energy-efficient alumina refineries in the world. The fuel switch to LNG is another step to improve our operations, driving sustainability and industry best practices to lower environmental impact,” said John Thuestad, Executive Vice President for Hydro’s Bauxite & Alumina business area.

He added, “Access to LNG will enable a more-sustainable operation for Hydro and also give access to natural gas for other industries and consumers in the state of Pará. This is part of our commitment to support local development.”
