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.

Kochi Metro Rail considers aluminium as an option for the hull of its water metro ferries

EDITED BY : BEETHIKA BISWAS 2MINS READ

Kochi Metro Rail Limited (KMRL) has published a corrigendum in its tender to procure vessels for its water metro project including aluminium as an option for the hull of 36 Water Metro ferries and extended its last date.

The metro agency had earlier zeroed in on marine-grade steel for the hull and Fibre Reinforced Plastic (FRP) for the deck of the ferries to be operated in Greater Kochi area. However, a large number among the naval architect community has opposed steel as the ‘ideal’ material to be used for the hull of Water Metro ferries. This led towards the modification in the tender proposal and the inclusion of aluminium hulled ferries.

The published tender is related to the procurement of vessels that form part of a ₹747-crore project to revive water transport in the region.

Commenting on the change, a senior official from KMRL said, “Though many prefer FRP material for hull, it was decided not to opt for it since it cannot be recycled after the 25-year life cycle of each vessel. This leaves us with two options — steel or aluminium for the hull. The deck will be made of FRP. Thus, a corrigendum has been published and the last date to submit tenders extended by 14 days from June 29.”

According to naval architects, steel needs least capital expenditure and can better withstand impact as compared to vessels that use FRP or aluminium to build the hull. However, operational expenses of steel will be around 35% more during each vessel’s life cycle, as steel is heavier and more fuel consuming. It also needs more frequent maintenance and painting to prevent corrosion.

The life cycle cost of each vessel stands at INR 16 crore for steel, INR 11 crore for FRP and INR 12 crore for an aluminium-hull ferry.

Aluminium and FRP are more suitable for solar powered operations. Though heavier and costlier than FRP, aluminium hulled vessels perform almost on par with FRP ones. They are also safer, more fuel efficient, need less maintenance due to its anti-corrosive nature. Other than that, their recycle value is much better.

The metro agency has plans to introduce 100 and 50-seater vessels across the water-bodies in Kochi.
