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.

Aluminium Billets Picture

The consulting firm, AZ China Ltd, has reported that the Middle East accounts for 9 per cent of global aluminium production. The major producers use the Strait of Hormuz, off the coast of Iran, as an import corridor for raw materials and export metals. Owing to the recent geopolitical tensions in Iran, metal trade has been sensitive, with aluminium price shooting up 1.6 per cent to USD 3,190 per tonne. Hence, a surging trend is expected to follow in the month of March.
