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.

Remote-controlled demolition robots help improve safety in foundries

Remote-controlled demolition machines are becoming more common in foundry operations as companies look for ways to improve workplace safety and reduce physically demanding maintenance work.

According to Brokk, robotic demolition systems allow workers to operate equipment from a safer distance instead of carrying out hazardous manual tasks directly inside foundry environments.

The company said the technology can help reduce the risks linked to handheld equipment, which often exposes workers to heavy vibration, dust, falling material and injury hazards.

Fracture injuries remain one of the more common problems faced by operators using traditional handheld demolition tools, with workers reportedly missing an average of 32 days of work after such injuries.

Brokk said remote-controlled machines can remove much of the manual labour involved in foundry maintenance work while also improving working conditions for operators.

The report noted that the use of robotic demolition systems could lower workers’ compensation costs by as much as 50 per cent.

At the same time, productivity during maintenance operations could increase by up to 75 per cent because tasks can be completed faster and with fewer workers on site.

Some manufacturers are also introducing electric-powered models, which help improve indoor air quality by eliminating exhaust fumes normally produced by diesel or gas-powered equipment.

Another advantage highlighted in the report is the reduction in crowding around hazardous work zones.

With fewer workers required to handle demolition and maintenance activities manually, the risk of accidental injuries between workers using handheld tools is also reduced.

The technology is increasingly being promoted as a way for plant operators to improve both safety standards and operational efficiency inside industrial facilities and foundries.
