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.

Integrated aluminium companies to benefit from rising alumina prices

EDITED BY : BEETHIKA BISWAS 2MINS READ

Alumina prices driven by growing Chinese demand and tight supply climbed significantly to touch US$351 per tonne in 2016- the highest in the last two years. The price graph picked up momentum from August onward with the upturn in all commodity prices. According to the commodities forecast, the alumina price will settle within an average of US$310per tonne in first quarter of FY2017.

Aluminium’s value chain starts with bauxite mining and moves to alumina refining before it is processed into raw aluminium.

Companies such as Rio Tinto, Norsk Hydro Alcoa and Nalco that have both alumina refining and aluminium smelting operations are going to be benefitted due to high alumina prices. Alcoa was the top alumina producer in 2016, with a strong first-quarter cost position on the global cost curve.

News
Alumina prices have grown over the last couple of months primarily due to two key factors: First, A supply deficit like situation in 2016 following Chinese curtailments, second, higher coal prices.

Higher raw materials prices raised production costs for Chinese aluminium smelters as some smelters rely on imported alumina and coal. As input costs have surged, aluminium prices have gotten a natural boost.

Integrated producers also profit from selling bauxite and alumina along with primary aluminium. The companies’ 2017 earnings are expected to get a boost from higher alumina prices. Alcoa has already forecasted an earning boost. National Aluminium Company (Nalco), the world's second lowest cost producer of alumina is expected to benefit from the rising alumina price. Global alumina benchmark price has risen around 14% over the past month and 30% in three months. This should boost the company's December quarter results.

According to commodity analysts, alumina price may rise by another 17-23% in 2017 as more Chinese aluminium smelters become operational. This is expected to increase alumina deficit to 4.8 million tonnes (MT) in FY17 and over 6 MT in FY18.
