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.

IAI data registers 4.8% Y-o-Y rise in American alumina production amidst descending global numbers

EDITED BY : MAYURAKSHI GANGULY 2MINS READ

As per IAI, America’s alumina production has registered a Year-on-Year growth of 3.52 per cent from 10.352 million tonnes in the first three quarters of 2022 to 10.717 million tonnes in the first three quarters of 2023. Therefore, America has contributed around 10 per cent to the Q1+Q2+Q3 world alumina production in 2023.

According to the International Aluminium Institute’s (IAI) data, the world alumina production is presently at 105.968 million tonnes, joining the first three quarters of 2023, which is 74.5 per cent of the total world alumina production marked at 142.227 million tonnes in 2022.

We can hope that the last and final quarter will be fulfilling, but the transition to green energy resources might hamper production to a certain extent in the American sub-continent. Moreover, the shift to recyclable materials might also curtail the production of raw alumina.

In 2022, North and South America together produced 14.048 million tonnes of alumina, of which 6.816 million tonnes were yielded in Q1+Q2 2022, and the rest of the 7.232 million tonnes were generated in Q3+Q4 2022. There was a Quarter-on-Quarter growth of 6.1 per cent in 2022.

In the first two quarters of 2023, America collectively produced 7.144 million tonnes, which is 4.81 per cent higher than the production in the same period in 2022. Also, in Q3 2023, America produced 3.573 million tonnes of alumina, 49 per cent of the total American alumina production in Q3+Q4 2022 and 3.37 per cent of the world alumina production in Q1+Q2+Q3 2023.

When we consider the world alumina production, an identifiable Year-on-Year gap of 1.04 per cent can be seen from 70.174 million tonnes in the First Half 2022 to 69.445 million tonnes of alumina produced in the First Half 2023. On the other hand, America has seen a Year-on-Year influx of 4.8 per cent if we compare the same period.
