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.

SEMAS declares Alunorte Alumina refinery safe for operation resumption and lifts its embargo on its 50% operations

EDITED BY : BEETHIKA BISWAS 2MINS READ

A press release from Hydro confirms that the environmental agency in the state of Pará, SEMAS has lifted the ban on Alunorte Alumina refinery’s 50% operational capacity. SEMAS, has issued a technical note to Hydro which says that Hydro Alunorte can safely resume normal operations and the production embargo has hence, been lifted.

"SEMAS decision is an important recognition that Alunorte’s operations are safe. We will continue the dialogue with the authorities pursuing full resumption of production," says John Thuestad, EVP of the Bauxite and Alumina business area.

Recently professors from the Federal University of Campina Grande, recognized as a specialist in the field of chemical engineering in Brazil completed a study on the bauxite residue management process of Alunorte and concluded that Alunorte, from the point of view of water management, can safely produce at 100% of its capacity.

However, the lifting of the production embargo from SEMAS does not mean that Hydro can restart full operation at Alunorte refinery immediately. The embargo imposed by the Federal Court on DRS2 remains in force now. Alunorte will inform the court about SEMAS decision and this will act as another step towards full resumption of operations in the refinery.

Recently during an industry event, Norsk Hydro’s Chief Executive Svein Richard Brandtzaeg told Reuters that the company aims to bring Alunorte alumina refinery back to full capacity within weeks or months, although the process still remains uncertain.
