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.

Surefire Resources hires Lava Blue to explore aluminium oxide from Victory Bore as a potential HPA source

EDITED BY : SARNALI CHAKRABORTY 2MINS READ

Surefire Resources has hired materials science firm Lava Blue to investigate the value-added potential of high-purity aluminium oxide production from its flagship Victory Bore vanadium project in Western Australia. Victory Bore has waste rock surrounding the primary resource with significantly higher levels of aluminium oxide, with grades as high as 31.4 per cent.

This will ensure Surefire is an exceptional feedstock for manufacturing high-purity alumina (HPA), targeting 4N-HPA (or more than 99.99% pure). Aluminium oxide samples will be used by Lava Blue for testing in the lab to show a manufacturing route. For the upcoming vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) market, Surefire is investigating the manufacturing of aluminium oxide in addition to high-purity vanadium. HPA products may sell for up to $60 per kilogramme or $60,000 per tonne on the market.

“The extensive high grades of aluminium oxide in waste rock make Victory Bore stand out from other vanadium resources. If the test work is successful, we could potentially add significant value to this asset and further enhance it as one the world’s largest and richest undeveloped vanadium resources,” said Paul Burton, managing director of Surefire.

During a period of rising vanadium demand on the international markets, Surefire is advancing the Victory Bore project. The business updated the project's JORC resources and exploration target earlier this month using data that is thought to put it apart from other possible vanadium deposits in Australia.

A third party estimated the exploratory target to be between 682 million tonnes and 1190 million tonnes, grading up to 0.43 per cent vanadium oxide. A measured resource of 16.8 million tonnes at 0.42 per cent vanadium oxide, an indicated resource of 70.3 million tonnes at 0.40 per cent vanadium oxide, and an inferred resource of 147.7 million tonnes at 0.38 per cent vanadium oxide are all included in the JORC estimate.

HPA has gained significant traction recently as a ceramic-coated separator material for lithium-ion batteries. The anticipated annual global demand for HPA in 2022 was about 80,000 tonnes, and by the end of the decade, this figure is predicted to increase by over 200,000 tonnes.
