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.

Speira, RWTH Aachen University study report on aluminium in battery technology for E-mobility revealed

EDITED BY : RUPANKAR MAJUMDER 2MINS READ

Speira, a leading aluminium rolling and recycling company with operating facilities in Germany and Norway has published a white paper on the joint concept study with the Chair of Production Engineering of E-Mobility Components at RWTH Aachen University, an elite German public research university located in Aachen, North Rhine-Westphalia.

The study eyes on the thermal management of cylindrical lithium-ion battery cells (LIB) in 4680 format, due to LIB developers and car manufacturers are aiming further to increase the energy and power density as well as the safety of LIBs, while at the same time shifting charging rates towards conventional refuelling times. Against this background, the study partners investigated whether the significantly better thermal conductivity of aluminium compared to steel offers advantages in cooling, among other things.

As part of the concept study, cell housing for a cylindrical LIB cell is made from aluminium compared to a commonly used housing made from nickel-plated steel (NPS). The material used for the cell housing was Speira's rolled material ION Cell, characterised by a high recycled content.

Overall, the simulation shows a clear advantage in thermal management for battery cells with aluminium cell housings compared to housing made from NPS. These offer manufacturers of electric vehicles both new opportunities for conserving resources and increasing energy efficiency. At the same time, ION Cell fulfils all relevant specifications as the material for the cell housing.
