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.

Metallurgical-grade alumina production in China slips by 1.26% to 6.28 million tonnes in January 2022

EDITED BY : DEBANJALI SENGUPTA 2MINS READ

According to the Shanghai Metals Market, alumina production in China during January 2022 came in at 6.5 million tonnes, of which metallurgical-grade alumina stood at 6.28 million tonnes. That was a month-on-month decline of 1.26 per cent from 6.36 million tonnes of metallurgical-grade alumina.

SMM also showed the average daily metallurgical-grade alumina output was 203,000 tonnes, down by 1.3 per cent M-o-M but 10.4 per cent more on the year. China’s alumina output in January was affected by the air pollution prevention and control policy, which impacted the production stability of roasting machines in Shanxi, Shandong, and Henan.

Nonetheless, the total alumina output in China was offset by stable production in southwest China. Meanwhile, a strong rally of domestic alumina prices since mid-January this year prompted many refineries to produce at or exceed full capacity.

SMM expects China’s net alumina imports at around 200,000 tonnes in January, with surplus of 333,000 tonnes.

China’s metallurgical-grade alumina operating capacity reached 73.95 million tonnes per year as of end-January, with installed-capacity at 93.8 million tonnes per year. But in February, alumina roasting capacity was restricted in provinces like Shanxi, Shandong, and Henan by the intensifying control measures for heavy air pollution. Besides, the new COVID cases in Guangxi have disrupted the production and transportation.
