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.

National Institute of Statistics data reveals Cameroon’s aluminium export dropped by 34.7%

EDITED BY : SARNALI CHAKRABORTY 2MINS READ

The Cameroon government agency, the National Institute of Statistics published a report which revealed that the country exported 14,925 tonnes of aluminium in H1-2021 compared to the 22,869 tonnes exported in 2020 during the same period. This shows a year-on-year decline of 34.70%.

One of the main reasons for the decline of aluminium export by Cameroon was due to the financial trouble which ALUCAM was countering, while it is the only producer of aluminium in the CEMAC region. The economic activities in Cameroon are gaining momentum after the negative impact of the pandemic on the local and international business, but ALUCAM’s operations are still under the negative radar.

The decline in the number of productions for Cameroon for H1-2021 was more prominent than what they witnessed in 2020, the time when the pandemic was in full force and its impact was more ragging on the companies.

One of the main reasons for the negative impact on their operation can be the increase in the price of alumina, the main raw material used by ALUCAM and also the cash flow problems experienced by the state firm for the past few years. However, as of July 12, 2021, the price of alumina increased by 52.50%. In July 2021, to gain financial stability, ALUCAM declared an 8% surge in their selling price. But, due to the pressure from the government as well as the shareholder, ALUCOM was forced to take back their deal.

The country earned around XAF16.6 billion of exports from aluminium during H1-2021, dipping further by XAF9 billion compared to the XAF25.7 billion they earned in 2020 during the same period. In 2021, earnings from aluminium export were 2% of the total revenue of the country, making aluminium the 11th exported product generating the most revenues to the country.
