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.

Japan's aluminium import up about 3% in 2018, Q1 2019 registers a slight drop in import on seasonal low demand

EDITED BY : BEETHIKA BISWAS 2MINS READ

Japan’s aluminium industry is import based and it has stopped producing primary metal altogether shifting its focus towards value added applications and in secondary aluminium recovery. The country is Asia's top importer of aluminium and the premiums for primary metal shipments it agrees to pay each quarter over the London Metal Exchange cash price set the benchmark for the Asia region.

The two major aluminium product manufacturers in Japan are Kobe Steel and Aluminium and UACJ Corporation who make aluminium plates, pre coated sheets and various rolling products for value added applications. Most of end-users keep annual purchase volume of aluminium unchanged to secure stable supply to their production plants. The country imports a large volume of aluminium (alloyed and non-alloyed) to feed their semi-finished plants.

Japan follows a growing trading pattern for the import of aluminium. In the year 2018, imports of aluminium (non-alloyed) stood at 1,59 million tonnes. The import of alloyed aluminium stood at 1.28 million tonnes for the same year. Total aluminium import added up to about 2.9 million tonnes in 2018. In the year 2017, imports of aluminium (non-alloyed) stood at 1,57 million tonnes and the import of alloyed aluminium stood at 1.26 million tonnes adding up to a total aluminium import of 2.8 million tonnes. The volume increased about 2.83% YoY. The increase in import is because of the growing consumption by domestic producers.

For the first quarter of 2019, Japan imported about 625,000 tonnes of aluminium (alloyed and non-alloyed), a drop of 11.7% from 708,000 tonnes in the first quarter of 2018. This may indicate a drop in consumption in the first quarter of the year.

In the year 2018 total aluminium demand stood at 4.28 million tonnes, up about 0.7 % 4.25 million tonnes, mostly driven by transport, electrical and communication sector. Our data for aluminium import by Japan for last two years also indicate an upward trend. It is yet to be seen how demand and import tend to grow in 2019, after the lifting of tariffs on Canada and possible auto tariffs on Japan.
