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.

Lower export duties could boost India's bauxite mining and export earnings: FIMI

EDITED BY : RUPANKAR MAJUMDER 2MINS READ

The all-India apex body to promote the interests of all mining, mineral processing, and metal-making industries, the Federation of Indian Mineral Industries (FIMI), has requested the removal of bauxite export duties, citing optimal utilisation of low-grade mineral resources as the move will speed up the reopening of closed bauxite mines, create jobs, and earn foreign exchange.

In its pre-Budget proposals to the finance ministry, FIMI said, "The export duty of 15 per cent on bauxite is detrimental to Indian non-metallurgical bauxite producers and exporters. Therefore, this Federation requests the complete withdrawal of export duty on bauxite exports."

According to the report, India is self-sufficient in meeting its requirements and has enormous potential to become a major player in the international bauxite market. Domestic alumina and aluminium producers have captive mines or meet their requirements from mines in the country's east and centre that contain plant-grade bauxite.

However, bauxite deposits on the country's west coast are low in alumina content and high in silica, making them technically unsuitable and economically unviable for the country's refiners/smelters. In certain countries, non-plant grade bauxite is accepted because of the need for minerals and the availability of technology for processing it.

“More than 50,000 workers, mainly in Gujarat's Jamnagar/Porbandar region, are effectively employed directly and indirectly by the shipment of subpar non-plant grade bauxite from the country's west coast. Additionally, it creates a thriving economic environment for nearby towns, stevedores, and other supporting businesses”, FIMI added.

Besides generating revenue for the exchequer through royalties, port dues, and taxes, it also contributes to foreign exchange earnings and reduces trade deficits. Low-grade bauxite is abundant in the country, so much so that it is exported primarily from Maharashtra and Gujarat.

However, FIMI stated that the imposition of a 15 per cent export duty on bauxite had a negative impact on the ore's production and export.
