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.

SECL identifies 7 coal dumps for rare earth hunt Note: This image is AI-generated and for illustrative purpose only

Coal India’s subsidiary, South Eastern Coalfields Ltd (SECL) has recognised seven mine dumps in its operational areas of Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh for potential rare earth elements (REEs) extraction.This initiative aligns with the government’s effort to utilise coal mine waste and reduce import dependence on critical minerals.

According to SECL Chairman and Managing Director Harish Duhan, the exploration tendering process has already started and during the next year, the dumps will be scientifically evaluated to identify potential locations. During this exploration, sophisticated geophysical and geochemical methods will be used.

Duhan added, "Under the guidance from the ministry of coal, we have identified seven mine dumps for rare earth elements extraction. We have started the tendering process and within a year or so we will identify which area, which mine dumps, overburden carry rare earth elements.”

To assess the presence and economic viability of REEs, he noted, the company would carry out scientific investigations concentrating on overburdened materials that are often abandoned during coal mining.

Due to China's dominance in the global supply chain, rare earth elements, which are essential for high-tech sectors like electronics, renewable energy, and defence, have become a strategic priority for India. Duhan expressed optimism for finalising the promising dumps soon, enabling pilot projects and potential commercial extraction.

This move also supports India’s self-reliance in critical minerals, transforming mine waste into a resource opportunity. By focusing on legacy dumps, SECL also minimises new environmental impacts while diversifying coal. Within a year, feasible sites might pave the path for long-term REE production, boosting national security and green technology objectives.
