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.

Reimplementation of 10% tariffs on Canada’s unalloyed aluminium exports would be a wrong move by US: Kirsten Hillman

EDITED BY : DEBANJALI SENGUPTA 2MINS READ

Canada suggests the United States be patient about determining whether to reimpose aluminium tariffs. In response to the United States’ allegations that the raw aluminium exports from Canada to the US have surged ever since the tariffs were lifted in May 2019, Canadian Ambassador Kirsten Hillman said there was an increase in the production of unalloyed or raw aluminium as producers were asked to shift their production from value-added products to primary aluminium amid a drop in aluminium alloy demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Hillman believes the demand will rebounce as the auto industry and other manufacturing sectors will come back online. According to her, the situation will rectify itself in the coming months.

“Let’s take a little time to see how this settles out and make sure that this trade is following the normal patterns that one would expect in a time like this,” Hillman said on Wednesday, July 15, in a telephone interview. “If tariffs are imposed we’ll have very few options other than to respond with duties on US imports. There’s no decision yet on how we would respond.”

Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and some US producers complained that raw aluminium imports from Canada jumped. Echoing the same accusation, the US Aluminum Association, which represents Alcoa, Rio Tinto Group, and dozens of other aluminum-parts makers, noted that the imports surged to the level prior to the implementation of the Trump administration’s Section 232 tariffs.

In regards to this, Alcoa told investors in April that it shifted 20 per cent of its value-added production to raw aluminium as the former is not as easy to store as the latter and also to prevent having to shut down the smelter capacity, which is an expensive affair.

Hillman said the reimplementation of tariffs would be a wrong move during this economic downturn, especially now that the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement has come into force.

“The very last thing the US manufacturing sector needs as it’s seeking to recover from this economic downturn is additional taxes on manufacturing imports,” Hillman said. “It’s going in the wrong direction.”
