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.

UK’s 2018 aluminium foil import from Germany sees YoY growth despite fall in total import volume

EDITED BY : DEBANJALI SENGUPTA 2MINS READ

Aluminium foil has made an essential part of flexible packaging and container applications along with its use in automotive and heat exchange components, insulation material and other industrial applications. Its use is witnessing a year-on-year growth across the world owing to characteristics like strength, formability, and barrier properties.

In Europe, as flexible packaging market is expected to grow from $28.22 billion in 2016 to $ 41 billion by the end of 2021 at a CAGR of 7.76%, the United Kingdom emerges as a large consumer of aluminium foils.

But according to our third-party data, the country’s estimated aluminium foil import saw a plunge in the last two years. In 2018, the UK’s foil import volume was approximately at 96,392 tonnes, a tad lower from 96,586 tonnes in 2017. In 2016, the import volume was at 101,207 tonnes, which indicates that the foil import by the UK in 2017 had seen a 5 per cent drop from the previous year.

But as you can see in the above graph, that despite a year-on-year fall in the UK’s total import volume, the country’s aluminium foil consumption from Germany rose significantly in the past two years. In 2016, the United Kingdom had secured 9,339 tonnes of aluminium foil from Germany, which in the subsequent years grew to 12,473 tonnes and 17,472 tonnes. This means 2017 saw a YoY rise by 34 per cent and 2018 by 40 per cent. In 2018, Germany was the leading exporter of aluminium foil to the UK.

Now coming to the import costs, they have been growing year-on-year unlike the import volume. In 2016, the United Kingdom’s estimated aluminium foil import cost was at US$263 million, which after growing by 10 per cent stood at US$289 million in 2017. In 2018, the cost was at US$295 million, 12 per cent up from 2016 and 3 per cent from 2017. This YoY growth of import cost could be because of the global aluminium foil price hike on increasing demand.
