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.

Vietnam is set to begin operations at its first aluminium electrolysis plant during the second quarter of 2026, according to project officials in Lam Dong province.

The project, developed by Tran Hong Quan Metallurgical Co., is located at the Nhan Co Industrial Park and is expected to initially produce 150,000 tonnes of aluminium annually.

The facility forms the final stage of Vietnam’s broader bauxite-to-aluminium industrial chain, linking bauxite mining, alumina refining and primary aluminium production within the country.

According to the company, the plant has been under development since 2015 and all major legal and construction procedures have now been completed.

The project covers around 129 hectares and involves total investment exceeding VND 18 trillion (USD 720 million).

The company said the construction phase and supporting infrastructure have already been completed, while recruitment for operational staff is ongoing.

Around 100 key employees have already been hired, with the workforce expected to rise to nearly 600 employees by the end of the year.

The project will be developed in phases.

Phase 1 is expected to begin operations in the second quarter with annual capacity of 150,000 tonnes.

Phase 2 is targeted for completion by the first quarter of 2027, increasing total capacity to 300,000 tonnes per year.

Phase 3 is expected to start operations during the third quarter of 2027, eventually lifting total designed capacity to 450,000 tonnes annually.

During a site inspection, Ho Van Muoi described the facility as Vietnam’s first aluminium electrolysis plant and said it would contribute to regional economic growth and government revenues.

Local authorities also urged the company to ensure stable technical operations and reliable power supply once production begins, given the high electricity requirements of aluminium smelting.

The provincial government added that agencies would continue coordinating on land clearance and infrastructure support to help the project operate efficiently.
