SECTOR GUIDE
CBAM Compliance in the Aluminium Sector
Because aluminium production is electricity-intensive, accurately calculating indirect emissions — which depend on the source of the electricity used — is especially critical under CBAM. Manufacturers exporting unwrought aluminium, profiles, sheet, foil, and wire to the EU must report these emissions per product.
Covered Product Groups
- Unwrought (primary) aluminium
- Aluminium bars, profiles, and wire
- Aluminium sheet, foil, and tube
- Aluminium powder and flakes
Sector-Specific Challenges
- Accurately calculating indirect emissions from the high electricity consumption of the electrolysis process
- Documenting the emission factor based on the source of electricity used (grid vs. renewable)
- Separating the emissions difference between secondary (recycled) and primary aluminium production
