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 solar projects bag DOE funding to develop innovative technologies; Silfab Solar to scale its aluminium backsheets

EDITED BY : RUPANKAR MAJUMDER 2MINS READ

The US Department of Energy (DOE) will reward nine domestic projects to fast-track the commercialisation of technologies that can support combining more solar electricity into the power grid.

Silfab Solar to scale its aluminium backsheets

DOE will allocate $14 million of funding as part of an attempt to incentivise the domestic manufacturing across the solar industry supply chain, succouring to certify that US-made hardware is used to deploy large quantities of solar.

The projects will aim at spheres such as the development of a connector that anticipates and safeguards arc fault that can cause electrical fires in PV systems, as well as a 1MW inverter for utility-scale solar systems that eradicates the need for a transformer.

The revolutionary module manufacturer, Silfab Solar has secured $3 million towards enhancing scale-up aluminium backsheets for silicon modules alongside technology developer SunFlex Solar. The module producer also bagged funding for another project that focuses on increasing the assembly yield by integrating a non-contact electroluminescence inspection tool developed by Tau Science before the cell-to-cell interconnection and module lamination.

The DOE will also help AccuSolar in its efforts to develop a new racking system for floating solar installs. It is expected that the project will diminish the cost of floating solar so that it is similar or less than ground-mount plants.

All these combined projects will part up to a wider DOE programme announced in 2020 that grants a total of $ 45 million to advance US solar manufacturing and grid technologies.

The majority of the funding will be utilized to create a public-private consortium focused on grid integration technology.

Jennifer Granholm, Energy Secretary, said: “To flip the switch on climate change, we need a grid that’s chock full of renewable energy that’s also cheap and accessible. The universities, small businesses and national lab behind these projects are building the critical components of America’s future grid, making it more resilient on our way to a 100% clean power system.”
