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.

PyroGenesis×Constellium: Plasma torch to pave way for aluminium furnace electrification

EDITED BY : NILANJANA BANERJEE 2MINS READ

Plasma Torch Technology

Specialised in plasma-based technology for heavy industry and defence, PyroGenesis has completed manufacturing a plasma torch system for Constellium. A significant step toward aluminium furnace electrification, the system will be installed in the company’s casthouse remelting furnace to replace conventional heating with cleaner, sustainable methods.

Plasma-based electrification is considered a cleaner and scalable alternative to fuel sources, promoting the industry’s decarbonisation and sustainability goals. The system components of the technology are currently being delivered to a European facility of Constellium, to continue over the next five weeks. PyroGenesis will instate an engineering team on-site to receive the shipments and begin installation. Operations are expected to start by Q2 2026.

The project commenced with an industrial implementation contract signed in August 2025 between the two companies for the supply of plasma torch technology and related peripheral components for an aluminium remelting furnace. The project builds on an earlier collaboration agreement under which Constellium expressed the objective of exploring the use of PyroGenesis plasma torches as a potential alternative to traditional heating sources in its aluminium cast houses.

At present, the initiative is part of Constellium’s R&D efforts, and is conducted at a demonstrator scale to evaluate the replacement of natural gas burners in aluminium production.

President and CEO of PyroGenesis, Mr P. Peter Pascali, stated, “The transition toward electrified industrial processes must be grounded in both performance and economic viability,” a balance that PyroGenesis aspires to achieve with its plasma torch technology.

Commending Constellium for the initiative, Pascali added, “By proactively pursuing cleaner and more efficient energy solutions, Constellium is setting the tone for the industry. Together, we are advancing the electrification of an energy-demanding area of aluminium manufacturing.”
