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 imports of alumina remain unchanged in Q2 2017, exports up QoQ

EDITED BY : BEETHIKA BISWAS 2MINS READ

According to the latest USGS release on Bauxite and Alumina in the Second Quarter 2017, imports of alumina by the U.S. in the second quarter of 2017 were 307,000 tonnes, essentially unchanged from the amount imported in the first quarter of 2017 and in the second quarter of 2016. Imports of alumina during Q2 2016 were 305,000 metric tonnes, 23% less than those in the second quarter of 2015. Since there have been no recent capacity addition in the U.S. smelters, the imported amount remains unchanged.

However, if we compare between the amount imported in Q2 2015 and Q2 2017, we see a 22% drop. The leading sources of imported alumina in the second quarter of 2017 were Brazil (40%), Australia (31%), and Jamaica (11%). Suriname was an important exporter of alumina to the US in 2016. A number of smelters closed down in 2015-2016 leading to a significant drop in alumina import.

Exports of alumina during the second quarter of 2017 were 151,000 tonnes, 44% more than those in Q1 2017 but 59% less than those in Q2 2016 and 73% less than those in the second quarter of 2015. The leading destinations for alumina exported in the second quarter of 2017 were Russia (39%), Iceland (21%), and the Netherlands (17%).

Drops in alumina exports YoY are attributable to the shutdown of Alcoa’s Point Comfort Refinery, TX Texas. Sherwin Alumina Co. LLC also shut down its 1.65-Mt/yr alumina refinery in Gregory, TX, in September when bauxite stocks were exhausted. However, increase in alumina export QoQ is driven by capacity expansion in Noranda’s Gramercy alumina refinery.

Noranda is a subsidiary of New Day Aluminum, which acquired the refinery from its previous owner in bankruptcy proceedings in Missouri in 2016. New Day Aluminum is affiliated with DADA Holdings, an investment and management company based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
