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.

China’s H1’26 alumina market’s new trade equation: 749% import surge meets 118.92MTPA capacity

China’s aluminium export surge in the first half (H1) of 2026, crossing 250,000 tonnes, has come with a surge in its alumina imports as well, feeding the smelting and primary aluminium production. China’s January-June alumina imports marked a drastic year-on-year surge of about 749.4 per cent, indicating a massive boom in demand. Y-o-Y H1 import snapshot: 2026 vs 2025 vs 2024 Comparing China’s January-to-June alumina import figures, a significant development can be noted in the H1 2026 chart ...

Europe’s aluminium output climbs 4.9% as alumina falls 1.8% in H1 2026: Inside the supply gap and how it is bridged

Europe’s aluminium industry produced more metal in the first half of 2026, but the numbers hide a more complicated story. Primary aluminium output rose 4.9 per cent year on year to 3.648 million tonnes, while metallurgical-grade alumina production fell 1.8 per cent to 2.846 million tonnes. At first glance, the numbers may seem contradictory. If aluminium production is rising, why is alumina production falling? The answer lies in what happened during the first quarter. Alumina production was ...

Adani’s Odisha blueprint: Aluminium, 600MW nuclear power and ₹800b coal project

Adani Group is planning a major industrial expansion in Odisha, with aluminium, mineral processing and energy infrastructure forming the core of its proposed investment roadmap. The group has outlined plans for two 3,000 MW nuclear power plants and an INR 800 billion (USD 8.38 billion) coal gasification facility, while also evaluating bauxite mining, an alumina refinery and an aluminium smelter. Together, the proposals point towards a broader industrial ecosystem built around Odisha’s natural ...
