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.

US begins investigation of ArcelorMittal complaint over high-strength aluminium coated steel patents violation

EDITED BY : DEBANJALI SENGUPTA 1MINS READ

On Monday, May 20, the United States International Trade Commission notified that it started investigating a complaint filed by ArcelorMittal related to the violation of patents by Vietnamese automaker VinFast.

According to ArcelorMittal, a Luxembourg-based multinational steel manufacturing corporation, VinFast has breached the former’s high-strength aluminium and aluminium alloy-coated steel patents in its vehicle VF 8.

Reportedly, ArcelorMittal also lodged a complaint with the ITC in April and filed a lawsuit in US District Court in California, accusing VinFast of violating patents.

Prior to that, ArcelorMittal sent a letter to VinFast asserting it was violating its patents. ArcelorMittal said it believes that VinFast also contravened the patents for its VF3, VF 6, VF 7, and VF 9 models.

To determine the infringement, ArcelorMittal purchased a VinFast VF8 vehicle in May 2023 and tested it as part of a patent violation suit.

However, after a sequence of complaints and lawsuits, VinFast has yet to respond to a request for comment. The company started delivering its sport utility vehicle (SUV) VF8 in California in 2023, and now plans to open its first manufacturing plant in North Carolina by 2025, which will produce VF 8 and VF 9 models.
