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's coal power share declines to 65.7% as renewable generation hits record high

India's electricity mix underwent a notable shift in July as record renewable energy generation reduced coal's share of power production to its lowest level in a year, even as overall electricity demand continued to climb.

Government data showed renewable energy generated 36.25 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) during the month, marking a 30 per cent increase from July last year and raising its share in the country's power mix to 20 per cent. At the same time, coal's contribution declined to 65.7 per cent from 69 per cent in June, according to Reuters calculations based on daily data from Grid-India.

The changing generation pattern coincided with a rise in overall electricity production, which increased 10.4 per cent year on year to 181.79 billion kWh in July.

Solar and wind drive the demand

The momentum in renewable energy was supported by a milestone in solar and wind generation, which crossed 100 gigawatts for the first time and supplied a record 42.8 per cent of India's electricity on July 13, government data showed.

According to Manoj Kumar, an analyst with the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air, a growing share of daytime peak power demand is now being met by solar energy, reflecting the increasing contribution of renewable sources to India's overall power generation.

Coal output rises as weaker hydropower offsets renewable gains

Despite coal's declining share in the overall power mix, coal-fired generation increased 12.8 per cent year on year to 119.40 billion kWh in July.

Analysts attributed the increase to weaker hydropower generation and the effects of a strong El Niño pattern, with higher nighttime temperatures driving greater cooling demand after sunset.

Hydropower generation declined for a second consecutive month to 22.1 per cent following lower rainfall linked to El Niño, which significantly alters rainfall patterns and results in above-normal temperatures.

According to the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA), reduced hydropower output combined with rising electricity demand could create a power generation gap of nearly 18 billion kWh, increasing reliance on coal-fired power in India.
