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 extrusion: This week, the operating rate of the surveyed industry sample of PV frame enterprises held up well. Leading extrusion manufacturers continued to run at full capacity, supported by ample long-term orders on hand, with the core driver being the advancement of centralised PV projects toward year-end.

In H2, the production schedule situation for downstream leading module enterprises is expected to be better than H1, but monthly incremental growth in PV frame demand will be steady M-o-M, limiting the extent of demand improvement. SMM also learned that PV frame processing fees have remained stable recently without notable changes.

On balance, the operating rate of PV frame enterprises will likely maintain a consolidating-to-firm pattern in the near term.

Raw material prices: During the period (July 13-July 16, 2026), the SMM A00 weekly average price was RMB 23,155 per tonne, up 0.9 per cent from the prior week. Overall, recurring Middle East tensions, lingering rate hike concerns, and continued supply recovery clashed with a destocking trend that is hard to reverse in the short term.

Amid this tug-of-war between longs and shorts, aluminium prices are expected to consolidate in the near term. The most-traded SHFE aluminium contract is expected to trade in a range of RMB 22,500-23,500 per tonne next week, while LME aluminium is expected to trade at USD 3,050-3,250 per tonne.

Looking ahead, close attention should be paid to Middle East production resumption progress and geopolitical conflict trajectory, LME aluminium ingot inventory changes, and China’s downstream processing orders and aluminium semis export data.
