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.

US import of bauxite drops 28% QoQ in Q1 2018; Jamaica continues as major bauxite supplier

EDITED BY : BEETHIKA BISWAS 2MINS READ

According to the latest USGS release on Bauxite and Alumina in the First Quarter 2018, imports of crude and dried bauxite by the U.S. in Q1 2018 were 651,000 tonnes, 28% less than the total of 910,000 tonnes in the fourth quarter of 2017. However, on a YoY basis, import of bauxite drops 18% than those in the first quarter of 2017 and 57% less than those in the first quarter of 2016.

When we look at the graph we, see that the imports of crude and dried bauxite by the U.S. have been on a downward trend since the first quarter of 2016. After reaching the lowest in the second quarter of 2017, the import increased in the third and fourth quarter of 2017.

Crude and dried bauxite imports in 2017 were 3.43 million tons, 32% less than about 5 million tonnes in 2016 and 68% less than those in 2015. Year over year, the U.S. has reported a significant fall in imports. The decrease in bauxite imports YOY is attributable to the temporary and permanent shutdown of a number of aluminium smelters and alumina refinery in the US.

Jamaica continued to remain the top bauxite supplier to the U.S. throughout 2017. In the first quarter of 2018, import from Jamaica stood at 84% and import from Brazil stood at 16%.

The U.S. also exports bauxite mostly to Canada and some amount to Mexico. In Q1 2018, the U.S. exported 1,570 tonnes of bauxite, up from 1,220 tonnes in Q4 2017. For the full year 2017, the total U.S. export of bauxite stood at 5,160 tonnes.
