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.

As per the report, Vedanta has achieved a 10.16 per cent reduction in GHG intensity compared to the 2021 baseline, demonstrating a perpetual dedication towards building a cleaner and more sustainable operational framework.

The company has also secured 1.3 GW of renewable energy capacity, stepping closer to sustainable practices.

The innovative measures taken by Vedanta for sustainability achievements are as follows:

· Vedanta has upgraded to graphitised cathode in potlines for lower current consumption, minimise emissions, and improved operational efficiency.

· The company has deployed pot controllers developed indigenously that reduce energy use by 200-250 kWh per tonne of aluminium.

· Vedanta has reduced coal consumption for aluminium production to cut carbon emissions.

· The company has also rolled out energy efficiency training programmes across its operations.

Sunil Gupta, Chief Operating Officer of Vedanta Aluminium, commented: “Innovations like the Vedanta Lining Design and the expansion of renewable energy use are key to reducing carbon emissions. Our top ranking in the S&P Global Sustainability Assessment for 2023 showcases our commitment to industrial progress in harmony with environmental responsibility.”

“Furthermore, Vedanta adheres to ISO 50001 standards for Energy Management. This ensures a continuous focus on optimising energy usage while achieving broader environmental objectives,” he added.
