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.

PV frame demand underpins steady operations; short-term aluminium prices consolidate on a strong note

PV aluminium extrusion: This week, according to feedback from PV frame enterprises in the survey sample, industry operating rates remained stable overall. According to SMM, China’s module scheduled production was ~38.5 GW in July, and is expected to edge up M-o-M to 39.3 GW in August. Underpinned by stable-to-rising demand from downstream module production schedules, PV frame enterprises’ operating rates are expected to hold steady in the near term, with leading PV frame enterprises with long- ...

Brazil’s alumina ambition leaves a 13Mt red mud challenge: How effective is residue handling? The story behind one of aluminium's largest residues

Every year, Brazil produces more than 13 million tonnes of red mud, making it one of the world's largest generators of the aluminium industry's biggest industrial residue. Created during alumina refining, red mud is unavoidable-but the amount produced is never determined by the residue itself. It depends on everything that happens much earlier, from the quality of bauxite entering a refinery to how efficiently alumina is extracted. In 2025, Brazil mined 33 million tonnes of bauxite. Around 27 ...
