# What CBAM figure does an EU buyer need for Bahraini aluminium?

Canonical: https://senseible.earth/answers/bahrain-aluminium-smelter-cbam-figure

Direct emissions per tonne from the smelter: anode CO2, perfluorocarbons and cast house fuel. Bahrain's smelter runs on its own gas fired power, which is reported but not charged for aluminium. Ask for a verified figure per product rather than relying on default values.

## What goes in

- Anode carbon consumed in the pots.
- CF4 and C2F6 from anode effects.
- Gas for casting furnaces.
- Bought anodes as precursors if not made on site.

## Products

Ingot, billet, slab and liquid metal sent to downstream plants each need their own figure. Ask which one your shipment carries.

## Electricity

Reported for every tonne. Buyers doing Scope 3 will add it, so ask for kWh per tonne too.

## What Senseible does here

Senseible keeps each site's fuel, power and production records together, so the embedded emissions you send an EU importer trace back to dated documents.
