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.

India: Rare earth exploration intensifies in Andhra, Odisha, Tamil Nadu

On March 11, 2026, the government told Parliament that efforts to explore rare earth minerals are being expanded across coastal and inland regions. Ongoing surveys in Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, and Tamil Nadu are being conducted by the Atomic Minerals Directorate for Exploration and Research (AMD) to assess monazite deposits in Konaseema, Puri and Thoothukudi districts.

In inland hard-rock regions, survey areas include Jodhpur, Balotra and Udaipur in Rajasthan; Chhota Udepur in Gujarat; Salem in Tamil Nadu; and Warangal and Suryapet in Telangana.

One of the main rare earth minerals found in India is monazite, which is found in deposits of beach sand together with other heavy minerals. Because of its radioactive elementsl, extraction from coastal sands is difficult and expensive.

Did you know - Monazite is used in the aluminium industry as a source of scandium, a high-performing alloying element, and in producing rare-earth based alloys that again improve the performance of aluminium.

Developing a deposit, including permissions and lease agreement, might take four to five years, according to the government. The Atomic Minerals Directorate (AMD) approves mining proposals, and it is still subject to regulatory restrictions.

In the Union Budget 2026, the government proposed rare earth corridors in Odisha, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu. The initiative aims to boost mining, processing, and manufacturing, increase domestic output of neodymium-praseodymium ( NdPr) and samarium oxides, and support industries linked to titanium, zirconium and other critical minerals.

By December 2025, India recognised about 1,309.42 million tonnes of heavy mineral resources, including ilmenite (706.24 Mt), rutile (35.98 Mt), leucoxene (19.75 Mt), monazite (13.15 Mt), zircon (38 Mt), garnet (217.83 Mt) and sillimanite (278.48 Mt).

These beach sand deposits occur across coastal and red sand regions in Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Maharashtra, Gujarat, West Bengal and Jharkhand.
