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.

Could kitchen aluminium foil replace costly terahertz polarizers?

A team of Australian researchers has found a surprisingly simple way to make terahertz polarizers: using ordinary aluminium kitchen foil and a precisely controlled laser. The result could cut manufacturing costs dramatically while opening the door to faster production of these tiny optical components. What if a piece of aluminium foil from your kitchen could help solve a problem that normally costs scientists thousands of dollars? That is the question behind a new study from researchers at t ...

Metal packaging leaders call for clarity, competitiveness and collaboration

Europe’s metal packaging industry is facing mounting pressure from rising costs, regulatory uncertainty, geopolitical tensions, labour shortages and competition from alternative materials. But according to three industry leaders, its biggest challenge may be internal: moving faster, communicating more effectively and acting with greater unity. Iris Arsic reports. Speaking at the Metal Packaging Europe (MPE) conference in Berlin, Paulo Sousa, CEO of Colep Packaging and president of MPE, Seàn C ...

China EV sales create record-high penetrate rate in July

China's automotive industry remained broadly stable in July 2026, though the market entered its traditional off-season, with both month-on-month and year-on-year sales declining. However, the penetration rate of electric vehicles (EVs) hit a record high, with the decline largely driven by conventional fuel vehicles. In July, the auto market entered its traditional off-season, with foot traffic and orders naturally declining. This was compounded by the pull-forward of some demand from mid-year ...
