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.

EU corrects CBAM default values, selected aluminium products and unknown-origin precursors affected

On July 31, 2026, the European Commission published Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/1740, correcting a number of default values, production-route indicators and product-code entries under the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). The corrections apply retroactively from January 1, 2026, meaning affected importers may need to revisit calculations already made for 2026 transactions. For the aluminium sector, the latest correction does not materially change the main country-specific defau ...
