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.

Yunnan Province, China enforces output curbs on aluminium smelters

EDITED BY : SARNALI CHAKRABORTY 2MINS READ

Yunnan located in Southwest China has reportedly asked the local smelters to reduce the production of aluminium by 30 percent for the rest of the year to help them in meeting their goals of reducing greenhouse emissions and energy use.

Because of the abundant hydropower facility, Yunnan has turned out to be one of the most preferred locations for aluminium smelting projects and also other nonferrous metal refineries. In 2020, around 2.6 million tonnes of aluminium was added in Yunnan, making it up by 72 percent since the last year. Around 1.4 million tonnes of aluminium capacity was planned to put into operation this year.

By assigning to Yunnan and using their hydropower, the aluminium projects have become greener and the province is shifting from being the green power supplier to aluminium supplier. However due to the extra power usage, the local power supply in Yunnan suffered and also faced power cut in May.

According to Antaike, the state backed research house, around 1 million tonnes of power capacity were already shut down by Yunnan aluminium smelters in August. The restriction was due to the drought that hit Yunnan in May, resulting in disruptions of hydropower output there.
