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.

Jamaica’s bauxite lands to bloom: JBM and Agro-Invest partner for agricultural transformation

EDITED BY : RUPANKAR MAJUMDER 2MINS READ

Jamaica Bauxite Mining Limited (JBM) and the Agro-Investment Corporation (Agro-Invest) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to repurpose former bauxite mining lands for agricultural development in an initiative that will revolutionise Jamaica's agricultural sector.

This landmark agreement, executed on November 7, supports the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Mining's ongoing commitment to fostering sustainable agribusiness practices and strengthening climate resilience.

The MoU outlines plans for a significant agricultural transformation on 670 acres of JBM's former mining land in Lydford, St Ann. This site will serve as the foundation for an innovative, technology-driven agro-park designed to boost investment in the sector and advance modern farming practices.

The agro-park is designed as a model for sustainable agribusiness, incorporating climate-smart practices and providing leasing opportunities for investors, as well as small and medium-sized farmers, through the Rural Agricultural Development Authority (RADA). Currently, some of these lands are already being used by existing farmers under the Jamaica Bauxite Mining (JBM) initiative. The project's first phase aims to formalise these farmers' status, ensuring they receive the necessary support to boost their productivity. This regularisation process will lay the groundwork for a smooth transition into a forward-thinking agro-park.

Farmers in the agro-park will gain access to essential resources such as irrigation systems, cold storage facilities, vertical farming or greenhouse setups, and efficient transportation networks. These assets will empower them to produce high-quality crops, minimise post-harvest losses, and maintain a steady supply of fresh produce for domestic and international markets.

Agro-Invest will spearhead the design and operational framework, facilitate coordination with stakeholders, and provide technical expertise in areas such as agronomy, land management, and resource planning. Both organisations aim to draw investments to bolster infrastructure, streamline operations, and drive growth within Jamaica's agricultural sector, enhancing production efficiency, diversifying crops, and strengthening supply chains.
