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.

420 billion cans, one 20-year-old fix: The Six Sigma Case for can-to-can recycling

New IAI data show that closing the can-to-can loop, not simply collecting more cans, will decide whether the industry produces 207 billion or 685 billion recycled cans by 2050. A Six Sigma study from Kentucky, co-authored nearly two decades ago by Dr Subodh K. Das, offers a strikingly relevant blueprint for treating every unrecycled can as a preventable process defect. Aluminium's most-quoted recycling statistic keeps getting bigger, but a new analysis from the International Aluminium Institu ...

Bauxite

From $82/t to $66.5/t: Where is Australia’s bauxite market headed in 2026?

Australia produced about 102.4 million tonnes of bauxite in 2025 and exported 44.23 million tonnes, up from 42.6 million tonnes in 2024, making it the world’s second-largest producer. Yet just as Australia’s role as a seaborne bauxite supplier is becoming more strategically important amid uncertainty over Guinea’s exports, its own supply chain has taken a hit. Record rainfall around Weipa in January-February 2026, followed by Tropical Cyclone Narelle in March, disrupted Rio Tinto’s bauxite op ...

Downstream

AL Circle Analysis: China’s 64% output, Asia’s 8.47% CAGR mark aluminium extrusion’s growth race

The global aluminium downstream market is being reshaped by three simultaneous forces: rapid extrusion growth in Asia, increasingly defensive trade policies, and rising demand from automotive, renewable energy, packaging and advanced manufacturing. China remains the dominant extrusion powerhouse, but India and Southeast Asia are building their own capacity and demand centres. At the same time, Chinese downstream exports are facing greater scrutiny in Australia and the US, while new applicatio ...
