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.

BMW Car2Car project raises aluminium recovery potential from 23% to 52%

The BMW Group and its consortium partners have demonstrated that a larger share of material recovered from end-of-life vehicles could return to new automotive applications, increasing the project’s “Car2Car rate” from 6 per cent to 51 per cent under expanded processing and sorting conditions. The rate, as defined by the project, measures the percentage of material from an end-of-life vehicle that can potentially be recovered at a quality suitable for reuse in new industrial applications. It ...

Raw material constraints coupled with marginal weakening of demand kept the operating rate of secondary aluminium producers at low levels in July

According to the SMM survey, the operating rate of China's secondary aluminium industry rebounded slightly to 34.6 per cent in Jul 2026, up 1.4 percentage points M-o-M from June, while it fell 7.0 percentage points Y-o-Y. Operating rates among secondary aluminium alloy enterprises showed mixed performance, with the overall industry recovering modestly from a low base. Raw material side, the shortage of compliant aluminium scrap and invoices remained the core factors constraining production. M ...

UK aluminium recycling growth depends on access to global markets

The UK will struggle to build a resilient circular aluminium economy if protectionist trade measures restrict access to recycled metal markets and overseas processing capacity, according to Tom Bird, executive chairman at Enicor. Bird argues that free and fair trade in recycled aluminium is essential at a time when demand is rising, energy prices are increasing and geopolitical tensions are disrupting global supply chains. Although more countries are seeking to retain recycled metal within t ...
