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.

Scatec ASA, a Norwegian renewable energy developer, has signed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with the Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company (EETC) for 1.95 GW of solar capacity and 3.9 GWh of battery energy storage systems (BESS), which will strengthen Egypt's utility-scale renewable power infrastructure. The project will combine solar generation with large-scale battery storage to deliver continuous renewable baseload power, addressing intermittency challenges typically associated with solar energy. In addition, Scatec will develop two standalone BESS facilities to support grid stability and balancing services. Once operational, the development is expected to become the largest combined solar and BESS installation in Africa and Scatec’s largest investment to date.

“Signing this groundbreaking PPA further cements Scatec’s leading position and commitment to delivering reliable, renewable energy at a large scale in Africa,” said Scatec CEO Terje Pilskog.

He also added, “By integrating advanced solar and battery technologies, we are providing Egypt with sustainable, around-the-clock power and grid stabilising services, supporting both the country’s energy transition and the region’s long-term economic development.”

The 25-year, USD-denominated, pay-as-produced PPA is linked directly to electricity output from the hybrid system, which is projected to generate around 6,000 GWh of clean energy annually, enough to power millions of Egyptian households while reducing reliance on fossil fuels.

Scatec will act as lead developer, delivering EPC, asset management, and O&M services, while drawing on experience from similar large-scale hybrid projects globally. The company plans to bring in additional equity partners, with final investment and financing details expected by H2 2026.
