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.

Lotus’ Hurricane Way facility begins production of iconic lightweight chassis

EDITED BY : RUPANKAR MAJUMDER 2MINS READ

Lotus’ new manufacturing facility at Hurricane Way, Norwich, has accomplished the first extruded and bonded aluminium chassis. The unit, a chassis for the legendary Lotus Elise, was built for the validation and quality checking of the new manufacturing process.

Even though not destined for a conclusive vehicle, it will remain at the factory for testing. As chassis manufacturing volumes rise significantly over the next few months, it will help ensure that the processes adhere to the globally recognised quality standards expected.

The new 12,300 m2 facility at Hurricane Way can build several thousand chassis per year. It will produce around 1,500 units for the Lotus Elise, Exige and Evora during 2021.

The facility is set to engage 125 highly skilled operatives, technicians and engineers. The site also houses the welding and fabrication of sub-frames, suspension components and other key parts for Lotus cars.

The investment from Lotus, with its headquarters and sports car manufacturing 10 miles away in Hethel further manifests its commitment to the region.

In July 2020, Lotus announced that as part of the expansion programme it had outperformed existing facilities in Worcester and Norwich so would bring together both production processes into one new combined location – Hurricane Way, in the north of Norwich. Tooling has already been upgraded in readiness for a new range of Lotus sports cars to be rolled out in the coming years.

David Hewitt, Executive Director of Operations, Lotus Cars, said: “The production of this first lightweight chassis is a significant landmark for the new Hurricane Way facility. I would like to thank everyone who has worked extremely hard to ensure that, despite challenging circumstances, it is up and running and on schedule.”

“In parallel, we are close to finishing our new assembly facility at our Hethel HQ. By the end of the year, the whole of Lotus’ sports car manufacturing facilities and processes will be either new or vastly improved. This will give us solid foundations to maintain our leadership in the rapidly changing low volume automotive assembly industry.”
