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.

Thailand authorities uncover massive aluminium dross seizure in Nakhon Pathom, exposing illegal smelting ring

EDITED BY : RUPANKAR MAJUMDER 2MINS READ

Thailand's Nakhon Pathom province underwent a significant law enforcement operation over the weekend. Police and industrial officials uncovered 14,400 tonnes of aluminium dross at two remelting facilities. The discovery, spread across sites in Nakhon Pathom and Samut Sakhon provinces, just outside Bangkok, highlights a troubling environmental and industrial malpractice case.

The operation was initiated by Pol Col Arun Wacharasisukanya, deputy commander of the Natural Resources and Environmental Crime Division, who detailed the sequence of events leading to the discovery. It began when highway police in Nakhon Pathom stopped a semi-trailer truck carrying large quantities of aluminium dross without the required permits. En route to an aluminium factory in Samut Sakhon's Muang district, the truck led authorities to Taibao Aluminium Co. in the quiet Bang Krachao area.

Authorities found 1,400 bags containing 2,100 tonnes of aluminium dross at the factory. The factory appeared deserted, and hot aluminium bars were abandoned inside, suggesting recently halted operations.

Further investigations took officials to another smelting facility in Prong Maduea, Nakhon Pathom. There, they uncovered an even larger cache of 12,387 tonnes of aluminium dross, along with more aluminium bars. This factory was operating illegally, defying a closure order issued by the Department of Industrial Works in April.

Authorities suspect Chinese nationals of involvement in these illicit operations, and Pol Col Arun vows to bring those responsible to justice. Aluminium dross poses significant dangers, as its particles can contaminate air and water, leading to severe health risks, including irritation to the eyes, skin, and respiratory systems.

The investigation continues as officials work to fully unravel the extent of these illegal operations in Samut Sakhon. This operation underscores the dedication of Thai law enforcement to rooting out environmental crimes and holding those responsible accountable.
