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.

Some aluminium plants in the Middle East announce production resumptions, overseas daily average aluminium production up 1.6 per cent M-o-M

According to SMM statistics, total outside-China aluminium production in July 2026 fell 6.7 per cent Y-o-Y, mainly due to a Y-o-Y decline in operating rates at Middle East aluminium smelters. Outside-China daily average production rebounded 1.6 per cent M-o-M, mainly driven by ongoing production resumptions at smelters in the Middle East and Iceland, as well as output increases brought by project ramp-ups and power-on commissioning in Indonesia, Vietnam, and other locations. In July, there we ...

Cita Mineral's H1 profit falls 62% as alumina JV earnings overshadow revenue growth

PT Cita Mineral Investindo Tbk recorded a strong rise in revenue during the first half of 2026, but the higher sales did not translate into stronger earnings. Instead, the Indonesian bauxite miner reported a sharp fall in profit as weaker returns from its alumina refining investment outweighed improvements in its core mining business. The results underline how the company's earnings are becoming increasingly dependent on its downstream aluminium investments. According to the company's unaudit ...
