Calculate Embedded Emissions for Unwrought Aluminium (HS7601)
Enter your input
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.

The Global Aluminium Industry Outlook 2026 (Including the impact of the Middle East crisis on the global aluminium supply chain & revised price forecast) delivers targeted, data-driven insight into the global aluminium value chain—covering bauxite mining, alumina refining, primary aluminium, downstream products, and secondary aluminium. It clearly details aluminium demand in key sectors, highlights major trends such as sustainability and decarbonisation, and presents actionable forecasts, regional outlooks, and competitive intelligence. Positioned as an essential guide, this report equips industry stakeholders to navigate global aluminium market dynamics through 2026 and beyond.
Market shifts in a changing geopolitical environment
The global aluminium industry is moving beyond traditional demand–supply cycles, with market dynamics increasingly influenced by geopolitical developments, supply chain adjustments, and energy cost variations; the evolving situation in the Middle East is playing a key role in reshaping trade flows, logistics, and pricing behaviour, gradually shifting the market from efficiency-led operations to a more risk-aware and resilience-driven approach—making this report a focused intelligence resource for decision-makers to better understand emerging trends, pricing signals, and strategic implications across the aluminium value chain.
Why this report matters now
A regional conflict is no longer regional.
Disruptions in the Middle East are triggering:
Supply chain decoupling
Freight and insurance cost spikes
Energy price volatility (aluminium’s biggest cost driver)
The result? A structural shift in aluminium pricing dynamics and global competitiveness.
What has changed: The new market reality
The aluminium market is entering a phase defined by:
Geopolitical risk premium embedded in pricing
Fragmented global supply chains
Strategic stockpiling and origin-based trade flows
Energy-driven cost asymmetry across regions
Acceleration of regionalisation over globalisation
This is a market in transition—from efficiency-led to resilience-led.
