CBAM default values for aluminium from Kenya range from 0.36 to 1.48 tCO2e per tonne of total embedded emissions across 24 products in 2026, under Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/2621, as amended by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/1740. Figures cover 2026–2028. Those are 2026 baselines. This page lists all 24 CN codes separately, carries the 2026–2028 markup that applies on top, and prices any of them against the live EU ETS price for your own tonnage.

Default values are deliberately conservative — verified emissions typically land 15 to 30% below them. The free-allocation deduction stays fixed, so every tonne of CO2e you shave off the emission value comes straight off the certificates you surrender. Download the supplier data template.
