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 rewards contract to EDL for expansion of an existing solar installation at Weipa bauxite mines

EDITED BY : RUPANKAR MAJUMDER 2MINS READ

The global mining giant Rio Tinto has contracted EDL, the developer of world-class wind and solar projects across Australia, to expand an existing solar installation at its Weipa bauxite mines in Queensland by adding 4 MW solar power generating capacity and 4 MW/4 MWh of battery storage.

The renewable energy project developer EDL will build, own and operate the new facilities, with plans to accomplish them by late 2022. It also owns and operates the existing 1.6-MW solar farm at Weipa that was concluded in 2015.

Michelle Elvy, General Manager for Rio Tinto Aluminium Pacific Bauxite Operations, said: “The new solar farm and battery storage at Weipa will help us lower our carbon footprint and diesel use in a reliable way.”

“The original Weipa solar farm was the largest solar facility at an off-grid Australian mine site at the time it was built, and it played an important role in showing the viability of renewable energy systems in remote locations.

“The new solar farm and battery storage system is part of Rio Tinto’s group-wide commitment to reduce emissions across our operations. There is more work to be done, but projects like this are an important part of meeting our climate targets.”

EDL Chief Executive Officer James Harman said: “We welcome the opportunity to continue supporting Rio Tinto to reduce carbon emissions."

“EDL will be leveraging expertise from our hybrid renewable energy systems around Australia to deliver clean and reliable energy for Rio Tinto’s operations and the local community.”

Following the completion of the project, the combined 4MW solar capacity and 4MW/4MWh battery will provide about 11-gigawatt hours of energy annually. In combining with upgrades to the existing Weipa power generation network, the development will restrict Weipa Operations’ diesel consumption by an estimated 7 million litres per year and reduce its annual carbon dioxide emissions by about 20,000 tonnes, which is equivalent to off-roading more than 3,750 cars.
