# What goes into the CBAM figure for aluminium from Mozal?

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

Only direct emissions count: anode carbon, perfluorocarbons from anode effects, and fuel for casting and anode baking. Power comes under a supply contract through the regional grid and is reported, not charged. Check the plant's current operating status, as its power supply has been under review.

## Direct emissions

- Anode consumption per tonne of metal.
- Perfluorocarbons, as CO2 equivalent.
- Gas or fuel for casting and anode baking.

## Electricity

Report kWh per tonne and the factor for the power actually supplied, from the contract or the supplier. Do not assume a national grid factor for a dedicated supply.

## Period

Report by period operated. If production stops or restarts, say so.

## 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.
