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.

Mexico remains a net importer of aluminium scrap while its exports surge 27.3% YoY in 2016

EDITED BY : DIPANWITA GUPTA 2MINS READ

Mexican aluminium industry is characterised by the presence of a large number of secondary aluminium smelters and die-casters which cater to the domestic automotive industry- globally the seventh-largest in production volume. Most of these smelters are fed by aluminium scrap imports from the U.S. Mexican scavengers, popularly known as buscabotes (literally: can seekers) recover aluminium cans in the U.S. and sell them across the border where they are used by the automotive OEMs.

Aluminium scrap comprises one of the key imports of the country which shares a common border with the U.S. The market for recycled aluminium in Mexico shows a strong demand for scrap due to significant differences in prices for the virgin and secondary metal. However, the country also exports a substantial volume of aluminium scrap to the rest of South America and to the world to drive revenues back into the economy.

News
Aluminium scrap exports by Mexico have been fluctuating over the last three years. In 2014, the country shipped 140,993.02 tonnes of aluminium scrap to the international markets which dropped 6.56 per cent to reach 131,740.33 tonnes in 2015. In 2016, the export volume spiked again to total at 167,769.15 tonnes.
