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 secures backing from UK Government to develop next-generation Light Weight Electric Vehicle Architecture

EDITED BY : RUPANKAR MAJUMDER 2MINS READ

An engineering venture that is leading towards innovations in lightweight structures for electric vehicles has been supported by the UK Government.

The LEVA project - Lightweight Electric Vehicle Architecture program is being led by sports car manufacturer Lotus and will use UK-based engineering and digital manufacturing to showcase pioneering electric vehicle chassis and powertrain concepts.

The Norfolk-based firm is also working with supply chain partner Sarginsons Industries. It will seek to harness the ‘light-weighting’ potential of an aluminium alloy developed and patented at the Brunel Centre for Advanced Solidification Technology (BCAST) for use in future advanced automotive architecture.

Professor Shouxun Ji of BCAST, said: “The alloy won a national innovation award in 2017 because of its high strength and ductility.”

“I hope we can now use it to help UK industry realise their goals in advancing automotive manufacturing technology.”

Matt Windle, Executive Director of Engineering at Lotus, said: “This is great news for our industry and its transition to electrification. As a collaboration between Lotus, Sarginsons Industries and Brunel University London there is a wealth of talent involved, and we are excited to have already begun the project work.”

“Following the launch of the Lotus Evija, our all-electric hypercar, this project is a key building block in our vision to deliver a full range of electrified Lotus performance cars for the Drivers.”

“Funding of this nature is critical to stimulate the automotive industry and supply chain as both continue to adjust to a rapidly changing landscape.”

Lotus has a long-standing reputation for building sports cars that focus on reducing weight as much as possible. The Lotus Evija is its first electric car and will have an estimated 1,972bhp, top speed over 200mph, and a range of 215 miles.
