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.

Strikes at Guinea’s SMB shut off 1.2 million tonnes of bauxite production

EDITED BY : DEBANJALI SENGUPTA 2MINS READ

Guinea’s Societe Miniere de Boke (SMB) has completely shut down its bauxite production over the past ten days owing to a staff walkout and already lost around 1 million to 1.2 million tonnes of scheduled bauxite production, with losses running to US$1 million a day, told Frederic Bouzigues, general director of SMB, to Reuters over telephone on Monday, May 14, 2018.

Guinea’s volatile western town Boke is known for suffering from frequent strikes and protests from a local population who feel excluded from the town’s vast mineral wealth.

Bouzigues said, “All our activities are blocked because of a decision to stop work that some of our employees have taken to stop work, after the arrest of a union leader by the authorities.”

Union Leader Aboubacar Sidiki Mara was arrested by police in the capital Conakry at the beginning of the month. Opposition supporters in Guinea staged protests and erected barricades in Boke that triggered unrest and resulted in disruption of bauxite shipments. Similar protests were held at Boke and disrupted output earlier also in April and September last year.

Owing to this, the poor West African nation, despite being one of the world’s richest iron ore and bauxite deposits, has stayed near the bottom of the U.N. Human Development Index. Boke’s other major bauxite miner is Compagnie des Bauxites de Guinee (CBG), 49 percent of which is owned by the Guinean state and the remainder by Alcoa, Rio Tinto Alcan and Dadco.
