Free CBAM Calculator for Cast

Calculate your Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) costs for Cast (CN code 76151010) imported into the European Union. Our free calculator provides instant estimates based on official EU default emission factors.

## What is CN Code 76151010?

CN code 76151010 covers Cast, which falls under the aluminum category regulated by CBAM. Starting January 1, 2026, EU importers must report and pay for the embedded carbon emissions in these products.

## CBAM Costs for Cast

The carbon emissions for Cast vary significantly by country of origin. Our calculator includes default factors for imports from and other major supplier countries.

Average emissions: 1.44 tonnes CO₂e per tonne of product.

### Why Emissions Vary by Country

Different production methods, energy sources, and efficiency levels result in varying carbon footprints:

- Coal-based energy: Higher emissions in countries heavily reliant on coal power
- Production efficiency: Modern facilities typically have lower specific emissions
- Carbon pricing: Countries with carbon taxes often have cleaner production
- Technology: Advanced technologies can reduce emissions by 20-40%

## How to Calculate CBAM Costs

Our calculator uses the official EU methodology:

1. Select your supplier country - Different countries have different default emission factors
2. Enter import quantity - Calculate costs for your actual shipment volume
3. Get instant results - See total CBAM costs for 2026 and future years

### 2026 vs 2034: Cost Evolution

Due to the phase-out of free allocation, CBAM costs will increase dramatically:

- 2026: Only 2.5% of emissions are payable (97.5% free allocation)
- 2030: 30% of emissions are payable (70% free allocation)
- 2034: 100% of emissions are payable (no free allocation)

For Cast, this means costs could increase 40x between 2026 and 2034 for the same shipment.

## Verification Can Reduce Costs

EU default factors include a 20% penalty markup. If your supplier's actual emissions are lower, independent verification can significantly reduce your CBAM costs.

When verification makes sense:
- Large import volumes (>1,000 tonnes annually)
- Suppliers with modern, efficient facilities
- Long-term supplier relationships
- Products with high emission variation

Use our calculator to estimate potential savings from verification.
