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.

Sasol invests $69.7m to expand advanced alumina production in Germany

EDITED BY : STAFF EDITOR 2MINS READ

Sasol alumina plant

Sasol, a major chemicals company, is investing EUR 60 million (USD 69.7 million) to expand advanced materials and specialty chemicals production capacity of its Brunsbüttel, Germany, plant. This makes their alumina production even stronger.

They'll use this cash to raise capacity at their current alumina sites. The plan centres on spherical alumina supports for advanced catalyst systems and similar stuff. So, Sasol is ramping up its game in some key areas of the industry. The expansion comes as demand rises for high-purity materials required in next-generation processing technologies.

Sasol confirmed that all construction approvals for the project have already been secured and procurement activities are underway. The company expects to appoint a general contractor later this month, while operations at the expanded facility are scheduled to begin around 2029.

"This investment is about scaling and sharpening the capabilities that differentiate Sasol in advanced materials and specialty chemicals," said Stefan Maedje, head of Advanced Materials for Sasol’s International Chemicals business. "By expanding our advanced alumina production and enhancing process performance, we are reinforcing our role as a reliable, technology-driven partner for customers in critical applications where performance and continuity of supply are non-negotiable."

The project will also introduce energy-optimisation measures and upgraded manufacturing processes to improve sustainability. According to Sasol, the expansion could reduce the product carbon footprint by up to 15 per cent per tonne compared with current production levels.

Once operational, the upgraded site will manufacture high-purity and ultra-high-purity aluminas tailored for catalyst and process technologies across specialised industrial sectors.

Maedje said that the investment represented a targeted and disciplined growth move in an established advanced materials platform, adding that it would strengthen the company’s ability to support customers requiring high-purity and ultra-high-purity aluminas, as well as speciality materials for the next generation of catalysts and process technologies.
