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.

AL Circle Analysis: How the race for aluminium scrap is reshaping recycling, trade and industrial competitiveness

The aluminium industry has entered a new race. It is no longer just about producing lower-carbon metal but about securing the scrap, infrastructure and policy support needed to keep circular supply chains competitive. For years, recycling has been one of aluminium's strongest sustainability advantages. Recycled aluminium requires up to 95 per cent less energy than primary production, making it central to global decarbonisation efforts. Yet the industry's priorities are evolving. The key quest ...

Cost support combined with demand constraints keeps ADC12 prices moving sideways at high levels

Secondary aluminium raw materials: China’s domestic aluminium scrap market prices were relatively stable this week, while the scrap-to-primary price difference widened again amid scrap’s struggles to catch up. Price-wise, primary aluminium prices continued to rise, driven by macro sentiment and capital flows. As of August 6, SMM A00 aluminium closed at RMB 23,800 per tonne, a notable increase of RMB 170 per tonne from last Thursday, while aluminium scrap raw material prices showed limited ove ...

Brazil’s aluminium scrap exports to China surge 590% since 2022, squeezing domestic supply

Brazil's aluminium industry is facing a growing shortage of scrap as exports to Asia, particularly China, continue to increase, raising concerns over domestic recycling, decarbonisation and future competitiveness. Aluminium recycling plays a key role in reducing emissions, with recycled aluminium requiring up to 95 per cent less energy than primary production. However, Brazilian producers say increasing exports of aluminium scrap are making it more difficult to secure raw materials for domest ...
