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.

Tax cuts drive aluminium billet processing fees to 3-months high

EDITED BY : DEBANJALI SENGUPTA 2MINS READ

Shanghai Metals Market found processing fees for aluminium billet in Guangdong climbed to nearly three-months high this week as traders withheld from selling cargoes to await lower value-added tax rates.

As on Monday, processing fees for φ90 aluminium billet in Guangdong were offered at more than RMB 500 per tonne. Monday, March 18, was the first trading day after Premier Li Keqiang on Friday, March 15, announced lower VAT cuts from April. On Friday, the offers were heard at RMB 400 per tonne. The aluminium billet processing fees, however, did not retreat on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Aside from the imminent tax cuts, lower prices of spot aluminium in Guangdong than in Shanghai also kept billet traders in the southern market away from offloading cargoes that drove the hike of processing fees for billet. Recovering consumption was also a factor that played a key role in higher processing fees. South China is the home to many aluminium extrusion plants that use billets as raw materials.

Extrusion plants in the south told SMM that they saw March’s orders significantly improve from February. New orders from aluminium extrusions steadily grew even as demand has yet to reach high-season levels.

However, these processing fees will likely pull back after the tax cuts will come into effect from April 1, 2019. SMM remains bullish, on the other hand, on aluminium billet processing fees in the medium term.
