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.

According to the third-quarter results of 2021 (ended on September 30) released by Rio Tinto, the company’s bauxite production stood at 13.967 million tonnes, up by 2 per cent quarter-on-quarter but down by 3 per cent on the year due to equipment reliability issues and overruns on planned shutdowns at our Pacific operations.. From January to September, Rio Tinto’s total bauxite production amounted to 41.231 million tonnes, 4 per cent lower than a year ago.

Bauxite third party shipments increased year-on-year by 6 per cent to 10.091 million tonnes in Q3 2021 but remained essentially unchanged than the previous quarter. In nine months, Rio’s bauxite shipments totalled 28.608 million tonnes, down by 5 per cent from the same period last year.

Rio Tinto Chief Executive Jakob Stausholm, said: “The third quarter has demonstrated the resilience of our people in dealing with ongoing COVID-19 challenges. It has been another difficult quarter operationally and despite improving versus the prior quarter, we recognise the opportunity to raise our performance. We have consequently modestly adjusted our guidance.”

Alumina production stood at 1.937 million tonnes in Q3 2021, reflection a 1 per cent dip from Q3 2020 and 4 per cent drop from Q2 2021. Total production in nine months amounted to 5.983 million tonnes, essentially the same compared to the same period last year.

At the Queensland alumina refinery, Rio Tinto churned out 738,000 tonnes compared to 756,000 tonnes in the previous quarter. At Yawrun refinery, the company produced 770,000 tonnes in comparison with 782,000 tonnes in Q2 2021.

On August 24, Rio Tinto announced a partnership with Sumitomo Corporation to study the construction of a hydrogen pilot plant at our Yarwun alumina refinery in Gladstone, Queensland, and explore the potential use of hydrogen at the refinery.

Rio Tinto’s aluminium production in the third quarter of 2021 came in at 774,000 tonnes, 5 per cent down quarter-on-quarter and 3 per cent down on the year. In nine months, the company’s aluminium production totalled 2.393 million tonnes, up by 1 per cent from a year ago.
