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.

Zhongwang aluminium product plant at Tianjin to start commercial operation by the end of 2016

EDITED BY : BEETHIKA BISWAS 2MINS READ

Asia's largest aluminium extrusion product manufacturer, China Zhongwang Holdings reports that the first production line of its Tianjin plant will be operational by the end 2016. The strategy behind this plant is to leverage upon the growing lightweight automotive demand. The USD 4.79 billion project with an annual capacity of 1.8 million tonnes aims to produce aluminium flat rolled products for the transportation and aerospace industries.

Commenting on the project, Lu Changqing, Zhongwang executive director and president said, "In the future, we will upgrade from a supplier of aluminium products to a supplier of comprehensive lightweight solutions. The high-end products will account for 80 percent of our revenue in five to eight years."

According to a report from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology Chinese automakers consumed 3.12 million tons of aluminium alloy products last year which is up 3.2 per cent YOY. The forecast says China will consume about 14 million tons of the material by 2020, considering the faster growth they are achieving currently.

"Aluminium alloy is one of the major choices to reduce auto weight, and, therefore, the consumption of gasoline," said Chen Quanxun, chief of China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association. "We can expect such companies to benefit from the trend in the following decade," Chen added.

Growing pressure to adhere to the energy-saving and emission-reducing measures is compelling automakers to work on lightweight materials and fuel saving potentials.

In April, Chery JLR Automotive launched its new car that used 75 per cent aluminium alloy which is 40 per cent lighter than the previous models. Automotive majors like Ford, Audi and General Motors are also treading on the same path.

It is a part of this strategy to cater to the automotive market that Zhongwang USA LLC announced the acquisition of Aleris, a US aluminium automotive body sheets maker.

According to Zhongwang report, the new plant has passed through all the necessary quality certification processes needed for the automobile and aviation industry and is supplying samples to a number of automakers.
