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.

Mozambique confirms talks over future of Mozal aluminium smelter

The Mozambican government said negotiations are under way regarding the future of the Mozal aluminium smelter, the country's largest industrial operation.

The facility has been under care and maintenance since March after operations were halted over concerns about rising electricity costs.

Government spokesperson Salim Valá confirmed that discussions are taking place with interested parties but declined to provide details, saying the process is still ongoing.

The update comes after South32, the majority owner of Mozal, said it is reviewing different options for the smelter. The company has a 63.7 per cent stake in the project and has not ruled out a future restart if conditions improve.

According to reports, South Africa's Industrial Development Corporation (IDC), which owns 32.48 per cent of Mozal, is exploring the possibility of taking a larger role in the project. The organisation has launched a tender seeking advice on the commercial and technical viability of acquiring the smelter and restarting production.

The proposed study will examine operating costs, financing options, energy supply solutions and potential partners for the facility.

A key issue remains electricity pricing. South32 previously said the power tariff offered for the operation was too high to support profitable production. During an investor briefing, the company noted that electricity represents roughly one-third of Mozal's operating costs.

The smelter requires around 950 megawatts of power and relies on electricity supplied from Mozambique's Cahora Bassa hydropower plant through South Africa's Eskom network. The previous supply agreement expired in March.

Before production was suspended, Mozal employed about 4,000 workers and was one of Africa's largest aluminium smelters.
