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.

Ireland reviews Aughinish alumina exports amid scrutiny over Russia-bound shipments

Irish authorities are reviewing reports that alumina exports from the Russian-owned Aughinish Alumina refinery could have indirectly reached entities linked to Russia's defence industry, adding to calls for tighter oversight of strategic material supply chains.

The issue has also brought renewed attention to official trade data. Earlier this month, The Irish Times reported that 83 per cent of Irish alumina exports in the first quarter of 2026 were shipped to Russia, citing figures from the Central Statistics Office (CSO). However, Ireland's Enterprise Minister Peter Burke later said the data was inaccurate, explaining that the actual distribution was closer to 45 per cent of exports going to Russia and around 45 per cent to the EU and other international markets.

The clarification comes as EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas, speaking during a visit to Dublin alongside Irish officials, said the European Union must ensure that its exports do not indirectly support Russia's defence sector. Although alumina is not currently included in the EU's sanctions regime, Kallas called for stronger sanctions enforcement and the closure of any remaining loopholes.

The scrutiny centres on the Aughinish Alumina refinery in County Limerick, one of Europe's largest alumina facilities, following reports of shipments to Russia and questions over whether the material could have eventually entered industrial supply chains connected to the country's military sector.

Alumina is the primary raw material used to produce aluminium, a critical industrial metal with applications across the automotive, aerospace, construction and defence industries.

Kallas said the EU should continue to strengthen the implementation of its sanctions framework, emphasising the need to close gaps in enforcement and ensure that the bloc's trade and foreign policy objectives are effectively upheld.
