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.

Alro is considered one of the biggest power consumers in Romania and the largest company with a vital contribution to local and national economic development.

The spot market price hikes on one hand stressed the suppliers to discontinue their contracts, as it was pre-assumed that they were not shielded by long-term agreements with power producers for the quantity sold in advance to the aluminium producers, however, it also leaves Alro exposed to high production costs.

Marian Năstase, Chairman and non-executive member of the Board of Directors, Vimetco ALRO, said: “There are many bubbles in the energy market.”

He further explained: "Last year, electricity was sold short during the pandemic, the price in day-the ahead-market (DAM, the spot market) was very low, and everyone thought it would be even lower. They sold energy on the market under long-term contracts without having it, based on assumptions that they will buy cheaper in DAM next year. But the price in the DAM has risen, among other things, because of the decarbonization steps.”
