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 Navy’s USS Essex to have an additive manufacturing unit producing aluminium parts

EDITED BY : MAYURAKSHI GANGULY 2MINS READ

The Commander, Naval Surface Force, U.S. Pacific Fleet (COMNAVSURFPAC) has joined hands in collaboration with the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS), Monterey, California, to mount a metal Additive Manufacturing machine on the Wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Essex (LHD-2). The ship, after the successful installation will become the first to flaunt a metal AM machine on board, estimating its feasibility in the ocean.

The Aircraft Intermediate Maintenance Department (AIMD) officer aboard USS Essex, Lt. Cmdr. Nicolas Batista, exemplified that this in-house metal AM machine would be one of the fastest of its kind aimed at additively manufacturing aluminium products. A range of ship-borne aluminium items are scheduled to be manufactured on board while sailing, like, housings, bleed air valves, fuel adapters, valve covers and heat sinks. Evaluations would be sent to NPS and COMNAVSURFPAC.

Nicolas Batista commented: “Having this printer aboard will essentially accelerate, enhance and increase our warfighting readiness. The capabilities of the 3D printer will enable Essex to become more self-sufficient.”

The upcoming advancement in the metal Additive manufacturing machine’s quality will be notified while educating sailors about its operating technology and giving them proper training to use the device. Though Essex once had the capacity to produce small items needed on the ship, Aviation Electronics Technician 2nd Class Jonah Waage exclaimed: “We have never been able to make something with the precision and intricacy that this new 3D printer will provide which is important because it will contribute to saving time and money for our Navy in the long run.”

Batista further narrated that Commander Naval Air Force, U.S. Pacific Fleet (COMNAVAIRPAC) and Commander, Naval Air Systems Command (COMNAVAIRSYSCOM) have also shown active interest in erecting an AIMD work centre, specially designated for the AM theory that focuses on enhancing the stability of additively manufactured aircraft components.

Batista added, “Additive Manufacturing has become a priority and it’s evident that AM will provide a greater posture in warfighting efforts across the fleet and will enhance expeditionary maintenance that contributes to our Surface Competitive Edge.”

Xerox’s ElemX Liquid Metal Additive Manufacturing machine was installed on the NPS in 2021, and this implantation basically is a precursor to it. The machine was supplied following a partnership research and development memorandum so that NPS would unravel new ways the technology could provide required metal components and parts.
