Aluminum CBAM Embedded Carbon Calculator (CN Chapter 76)
Electrolysis power intensity and smelting carbon calculations for aluminum imports.
Quick Technical Summary: Electrolysis power intensity and smelting carbon calculations for aluminum imports. Implementation conforms to Regulation (EU) 2023/956 & 2023/1773.
Specification & Structural Breakdown
Primary aluminum smelting via the Hall-Héroult process consumes an average of 14.5 to 15.5 MWh of electricity per tonne of aluminum. Because of this high electricity intensity, Scope 2 indirect emissions vary drastically depending on the exporter country electricity grid carbon intensity.
| CN Code | Product Description | Sector | Default Direct Factor (tCO2e/t) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 76011000 | Unwrought aluminum, not alloyed | aluminum | 1.55 |
| 76061110 | Aluminum plates and sheets | aluminum | 1.82 |
