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.

China’s aluminium dross generation is estimated to rise 3.3% in 2026: How technology and policy are shaping dross management

China accounted for nearly half of the world’s aluminium dross generation, underlining the scale of its primary aluminium production, secondary aluminium recycling and downstream processing industries. In 2025, the country generated approximately 2.75 million tonnes of aluminium dross, representing 47 per cent of the global total of 5.86 million tonnes Aluminium dross is an inevitable by-product of aluminium melting, smelting, alloying, casting and recycling. When molten aluminium comes int ...

Evolution of anode technology and entry of inert anodes in aluminium smelting, driving sustainability and CAPEX savings

The global transition to inert anodes is not an environmental charity project. It is a fundamental rewiring of aluminium economics. This technology will render traditional carbon paste plants obsolete, slash greenfield capital expenditures, and instantly erase massive cross-border carbon taxes. The primary production of aluminium has been governed by a single chemical reality since its independent co-discovery in 1886. To strip oxygen from alumina, you must burn carbon. When Charles Martin H ...

US aluminium tariffs face a new test: Can downstream protection save domestic supply chain?

As the US Section 232 aluminium tariff framework issued by Donald Trump absorbs the import of aluminium downstream, semi-finished products and finished goods, it is expected to remove the original loopholes leading in the tariff wall. The point is straightforward: protecting primary metal alone does not necessarily protect the manufacturers that convert it into extrusions, rolled products, tubes and other value-added goods. A tariff wall around downstream products is therefore being presented ...
