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 aluminium frame operations continue to consolidate on a strong note, aluminium price macro sentiment weakens, and inventory forward oversupply pressure persists

2MINS READ

Solar frames

PV aluminium extrusion: In this week's survey sample, the operating rate of PV frame enterprises consolidated on a strong note. Affected by the expected implementation of the US Section 232 PV new regulation, policy-driven advance stockpiling demand was mainly concentrated in the upstream solar cell sector. Order-taking and production schedules at the end-user module export side remained relatively cautious, with no large-scale concentrated market trend emerging.

As a result, growth in supporting orders for PV frames was limited, only marginally improving the industry's operating rates and failing to create a trend rebound momentum. Looking ahead in the short term, production schedules of downstream PV module enterprises are relatively stable, and with the gradual absorption of the overseas policy buffer window, end-use demand shows no significant growth. In the short term, the operating rate of PV frame enterprises is expected to continue its consolidating-on-a-strong-note trend.

Raw material prices: During the period from 2026.8.24 to 2026.8.27, the SMM A00 weekly average price was RMB 23,832.5 per tonne, up 0.1 per cent from the previous week's average. Overall, macro front, the pressure on aluminium prices has increased somewhat. The Jackson Hole annual conference and Warsh's debut brought policy uncertainties. The strengthening US dollar index combined with rising expectations of interest rate hikes, while the easing of US-Iran geopolitical risk premiums and the pullback in oil prices jointly created overhead resistance for aluminium prices.

However, China's inventory continued destocking and the approaching "September peak season" expectations provided strong support to aluminium prices. Backed by these bullish and bearish factors, aluminium prices are expected to continue to consolidate at highs next week. Next week, the most-traded SHFE aluminium contract is expected to trade in the range of RMB 23,400-24,100 per tonne, while LME aluminium is expected to trade in the range of USD 3,150-3,280 per tonne.
