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.

Why Chalco's Guangxi Huayin refinery remains central to its aluminium business

Every aluminium smelter depends on a steady supply of alumina, and securing that supply begins at refineries such as Guangxi Huayin in southern China. Operated by Aluminum Corporation of China (Chalco), the facility converts imported and domestic bauxite into smelter-grade alumina, supplying both the company's own smelting network and external customers along the southern Chinese coast. For most buyers, the end product is simply a white powder arriving in bulk shipments. Behind that powder, h ...
