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.

$4B Oklahoma Aluminium Smelter Project moves ahead with technical studies and permitting

A proposed USD 4 billion primary aluminium smelter at the Port of Inola in northeastern Oklahoma is moving through technical studies and regulatory approvals, with developers aiming to begin construction in 2027. If completed, the project would become the first new primary aluminium smelter built in the United States in nearly 50 years and significantly expand the country's domestic aluminium production capacity. The project, known as Oklahoma Primary Aluminum, is being developed through a pa ...
