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.

Mecfor announces its 1st electrical AGV is in operation in a Quebec aluminium smelter

EDITED BY : BEETHIKA BISWAS 2MINS READ

A press release from Mecfor confirms that its 1st electrical autoguided vehicle (AGV) is in operation in a Quebec aluminium smelter. Ms. Éloïse Harvey, President of Mecfor announced this during the ‘Forum Manufacturier innovant’ in Montreal in the presence of Minister of the Economy and Innovation, Mr. Pierre Fitzgibbon. Government of Quebec has granted $ 350K to test the AGV TEAM prototype in real operational condition.

Mecfor, a leader in North America for specialized mobile equipment for aluminium smelters invested US$ 1.5 million in this R & D project. The government added financial support of US$ 1,1 million for the project.

Commenting on the announcement Éloise Harvey, President, Mecfor said, ‟We are proud to see our AGV TEAM, designed and manufactured here in Quebec, operating in a local aluminium smelter. It is the culmination of many years of research and effort. We see how this project is a mobilizing commitment to the sustainability and vitality of one of the jewels of our economy, the primary production of aluminum. Not to mention that AGV TEAM uses our renewable energy resource: electricity. ″

The Government of Quebec invested a total of US$ 810K, of which $ 350K is dedicated to setting up the technological showcase promoting the potential of companies like Mecfor in designing products like an autoguided electrical vehicles for heavy industrial sectors. The showcase will demonstrate Mecfor's AGV TEAM technology to potential customers from around the world over the next six months.

Currently, the AGV TEAM prototype transports molten metal crucibles in a smelter. The technological showcase aims the AGV TEAM to be operating in real conditions 24/7, executing metal flow orders coming from the aluminium smelter.

The AGV TEAM fits into the spirit of Industry 4.0 and aims to reduce the environmental footprint of aluminium producers. These vehicles also handle the issue of shortage of skilled labour in industrial operations.
