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.

Rio Tinto & Alcoa’s joint venture ELYSIS to set up new research centre in Quebec

EDITED BY : DEBANJALI SENGUPTA 2MINS READ

ELYSIS, the joint-venture technology company of Rio Tinto and Alcoa, announced yesterday that it chose Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region in Quebec for setting up its new research and development facility. It will indirectly employ more than 25 experts when fully operational, said the company on its website.

The ELYSIS team is working to commercial a breakthrough technology by 2024 that will eliminate all direct greenhouse gases (GHGs) from the traditional aluminium smelting process, producing pure oxygen instead. The new research and development facility is expected to be fully operational in the second half of 2020.

ELYSIS said it chose Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region for its new research centre since the place is known for having expertise in the aluminium sector. Moreover, it receives financial backing from both the Quebec and Canadian governments.

The ELYSIS team also said it would continue to work closely with the Alcoa Technical Centre where this patent-protected technology ELYSIS^TM was invented and producing aluminium since 2009. The Alcoa Technical Centre provides support to ELYSIS on the proprietary anode and cathode materials that are essential to this advanced smelting process.

Alf Barrios, chief executive of Rio Tinto Aluminium, said: “This new technology can play an important role in helping to address the climate change challenge by delivering carbon free aluminium smelting. We are proud to be part of this pioneering project that could create significant value and allow customers to meet the growing consumer demand for responsible products.”

Vincent Christ, Chief Executive Officer of Elysis, said: “With the development of this research centre, we can proudly root our company in Québec, and in Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean in particular. Our team is enthusiastic about working collaboratively to refine our technology so we can help bring the aluminium industry to new levels and make it even more sustainable.”
