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 aluminium scrap prices surge again on bullish sentiment

On March 9, for example, the average price for domestically-generated #6063 aluminium scrap in South China's Guangdong province had jumped by 5.9 Per Cent from the end of February to reach RMB 19,750 per tonne (USD 2,872 per tonne), the highest since January 2023, according to Mysteel's assessment.

On the same day, China's composite primary aluminium price was also assessed at a three-year high of RMB 25,179 per tonne, including the 13 per cent VAT, higher by 7.5 per cent from end-February.

The military conflict in the Middle East since late February has caused disruptions to global maritime traffic and triggered market worries about the supply stability of bulk commodities, including nonferrous metals, as reported. This gave a boost to primary aluminium prices.

The bullish sentiment was also reflected in China's futures markets, with the most-traded aluminium contract for April delivery on the Shanghai Futures Exchange closing at RMB 24,880 per t on March 10, higher by 5 per cent from the settlement price of February 27.

On fundamentals, however, domestic demand for aluminium scrap remains lukewarm as production among secondary aluminium producers is hovering at a low level, Mysteel's survey showed.

During the week of February 27-March 5, the second week after the Chinese New Year (CNY) holiday, production of secondary aluminium billets by the 82 domestic smelters under Mysteel's tracking totalled just 5,400 tonnes, lower by a significant 59 Per Cent compared with the same period after last year's CNY.

In February, the total output of secondary aluminium alloys among the 158 Chinese smelters touched a six-year low of 226,600 tonnes, Mysteel's survey showed.
