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.

POSCO signs 10-years NCMA cathode supply deal with Samsung SDI for EV battery production

POSCO Chemicals, a subsidiary of steel and chemicals firm Posco Holdings has agreed upon a supply contract of nickel cobalt aluminium (NCMA) cathode materials amounting to KRW40trn or US$32.5 billion. The supply of NCMA cathode materials to Samsung SDI will be fulfilled by 2023. Cathode materials conventionally take up almost 40 per cent of the cost of producing EV battery cells, and they are incredibly vital for proper energy storage and uninterrupted output.

Though POSCO Chemical is fundamentally responsible for the production of nickel cobalt manganese (NCM) cathodes, this time, the company has ventured out into incorporating aluminium in the concoction. This addition of aluminium has definitively heightened the thermal stability of the NCMA cathodes, and POSCO is proudly churning its operations in the South Korean plant of Gwangyang to ascertain the desired output.

The supply deal can be regarded as the first assignment concerning cathode materials offered to POSCO Chemicals by Samsung SDI, which comes under South Korea’s largest conglomerate, the Samsung Group, also esteemed as the world’s sixth-largest EV battery maker. To date, most of POSCO’s supply deals have been signed with LG Energy Solution, the third-largest EV battery manufacturer globally.

The president of POSCO Chemical, Kim Joon-hyeong, asserted in his statement: “Our efforts paid off to expand our customer base and portfolio, as well as enhance business competitiveness in response to the rapidly growing EV market.”

Quite recently, Samsung has switched from nickel cobalt manganese (NCM) cathodes to nickel cobalt manganese aluminium (NCMA) cathodes to produce its patented Gen 5 batteries, sighting the increased potential.

The POSCO NCMA cathode materials would be streamlined for Samsung SDI’s battery-producing joint venture with Stellantis and used in other EV-related projects.
