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.

ReMA tentatively approves updated aluminium scrap grade amid rising recycled metal demand

EDITED BY : STAFF EDITOR 2MINS READ

aluminium extrusions

The board of the Recycled Materials Association (ReMA) has given tentative approval to add a new specification called “ginger” to its ISRI Specifications booklet.

The proposed ginger grade refers to wrought aluminium materials such as sheet, extrusion, and plate that are separated from mixed shredded scrap categories like zorba and twitch. These existing grades mainly contain shredded aluminium but allow higher levels of mixed metals and contaminants. Ginger is designed as a more refined and tightly controlled category.

According to ReMA, the material must be dry and meet strict limits. It should not contain more than 1 per cent free magnesium, 1 per cent free zinc, and 0.5 per cent analytical iron. Non-metallic content must also remain below 1 per cent. The material must be free from heavily oxidised pieces, airbag canisters, and any sealed or pressurised items. Any variations are to be agreed upon directly between buyers and sellers.

The move comes as the United States sees rising investment in recycled-content aluminium production. Industry discussions have highlighted a potential shortage of scrap supply as new capacity comes online.

At a recent industry session, Gary Gallo of Novelis noted that demand for aluminium scrap could exceed supply by between 1 million and 3 million tonnes. This gap reflects growing demand from recycling-focused production facilities.

The ginger specification is expected to be included in a future update of the ReMA ISRI Specifications booklet, which sets standard classifications for scrap materials.

Before final approval, ReMA has opened a 30-day public comment period starting April 13. This step follows the standard procedure for any additions or changes to its specifications.
