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.

Vedanta’s Jamkhani coal block expected to help company reduce aluminium production cost

EDITED BY : DEBANJALI SENGUPTA 2MINS READ

Coal production from Jamkhani coal block is expected to take Vedanta an inch closer to its goal to reduce aluminium production cost to US$ 1,500 per tonne. Vedanta Limited had acquired the Jamkhani coal block with 220 million tonnes deposits at competitive auctions in Odisha.

Vedanta’s Jamkhani coal block now expected to save company’s aluminium production cost

An increase in domestic coal production will boost power supplies, a critical input in aluminium smelting accounting for around 40 per cent of the metal production cost, and will also help Vedanta reduce imports, resulting in cost savings.

Srinivasan Venkatakrishnan, chief executive officer (CEO) of Vedanta Limited said: “We have now signed the Coal Mines and Development and Production agreement with the Government of India in respect to the Jamkhani Coal Block in Odisha. Steps are now being taken towards operationalizing this block. This has potential to reduce our power costs by 10 to 15 per cent. With our plans to increase coal linkages through participation in future options, enhancing bauxite sourcing to exploration of new resources, captive alumina capacity ramp-up and other cost reduction initiatives across the value chain, we are inching closer to our target CoP of $1,500 a tonne.”

Jamkhani coal block has a rated capacity of 1 million tonnes per annum. According to the report, Vedanta aims to commence mining at Jamkhani block within a year. The company is now awaited to get the requisite letter from the state authorities. Initially, Vedanta aims to extract 2.6 million tonnes per annum from the block.

Global Aluminium Industry Outlook 2020

The Jamkhani coal mine is Vedanta’s second captive mine after Chotia in Jharkhand. The latter in the December quarter of FY20 had recorded an output of 278,000 tonnes, indicating growth in coal materialisation for Vedanta.

It is to be noted that Vedanta in the aluminium sector has made significant improvement in reducing its cost of production to $1692 per tonne, down 9 per cent quarter-on-year and 18 per cent year-on-year. Improvement in coal performance and ramp-up in alumina output at Lanjigarh refinery could be attributed to the falling cost of Vedanta’s aluminium making.
