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.

SMaRT Centre in Sydney discovers a new sustainable recycling technology to advance ‘green aluminium’ manufacturing

EDITED BY : DEBANJALI SENGUPTA 2MINS READ

Research by the UNSW Sustainable Materials Research and Technology (SMaRT) Centre in Sydney has discovered a new sustainable way of recycling that could initiate a new ‘green aluminium manufacturing revolution’ and help the government and aluminium industry to advance Australian manufacturing, increasing sustainability, and creating jobs.

The new way of recycling includes an innovative technique based on the microrecycling science to recover aluminium from complex, multi-layered packaging, especially polymer-laminated aluminium packaging (PLAP) materials, which include post-consumer food and coffee packaging. Pioneered by the SMaRT Centre under the leadership of its Director and Professor Veena Sahajwalla, the new technique called ‘Thermal Disengagement Technology’ is specially designed to sustainably recycle packaging materials into high-quality aluminium and a potential source of high-energy hydrocarbon products. The technology is built on the Centre’s waste materials innovations, including Green Steel and Microfactorie technologies.

Prof. Sahajwalla said, “We developed Green Steel technology where we extract hydrogen and carbon from old rubber tyres and plastic as an innovative and green pathway in steelmaking, and we now can develop new ‘Green Aluminium’ with our novel technique called Thermal Disengagement Technology (TDT).”

She added, “Recycling using new technologies can be a foundation for the manufacturing of high-quality materials from our waste resources, as we seek to develop greater sovereign capability along with economic prosperity.”

TDT can transform aluminium into a clean and green metal, allowing the metal extracted in a way that it can be used as a high-quality material for manufacturing, while minimising residual waste.

Prof. Sahajwalla also said that using this waste-reforming technology can create new supply chains and jobs, especially in regional locations, as it does not need to be a large scale or expensive.

“That is why I see a future where recycling and manufacturing are aligned, where waste and recycling become part of the manufacturing supply chain, and that is important in this new COVID era where we now highly value ‘sovereign capability’,” said Sahajwalla.
