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.

The US Department of Energy (DOE) has announced USD 134 million in funding for two projects focused on recovering rare earth elements from waste materials.

The funding will support projects being developed by the Colorado School of Mines and Phoenix Tailings as part of efforts to increase the availability of rare earth materials within the United States.

One of the projects will be built near the Gramercy alumina refinery in Louisiana. The facility will process red mud, a waste product generated during alumina production from bauxite. The project aims to recover rare earth oxides from the material and convert them into rare earth metals that can be used by industry.

The Colorado School of Mines is carrying out the project with support from ElementUSA, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, and Principal Mineral and Rare Earth Technologies.

The second project will be led by Phoenix Tailings. It involves building a facility that will extract rare earth metals from industrial waste materials and produce high-purity products.

Phoenix Tailings is working with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the University of Minnesota on the project.

According to the DOE, both projects are intended to show that waste materials can become a useful source of rare earth elements, reducing the need to rely entirely on newly mined resources.

Commenting on the announcement, Assistant Secretary of Energy Audrey Robertson said the projects would help find value in materials that are often discarded and support the country's access to rare earth resources.

The funding will be managed through the DOE's Manufacturing Deployment Office, which supports the development of rare earth processing projects in the United States.
