Platts will launch a weekly spot market price assessment basis CIF Northwest Europe 17 GJ/t. The new assessment would be published in Coal Trader International, European Power Daily and Power in Europe.
Platts will reflect the value of typical shipments of pellets discharging in northwest Europe each business day. Prices would be assessed on a market on close (MOC) basis at 5pm London.
The assessment would reflect the price of wood pellets for delivery 7-45 days forward from the date of publication and would roll forward each day.
Platts will also publish weekly UK wood pellet spreads, which are indicative prices giving the average difference between the cost of wood pellets and the equivalent price of UK electricity on any given day at fuel efficiencies of 30%, 35% and 40%.
The pellet spreads are based on CIF Northwest Europe 45-day wood pellet assessments, the equivalent prompt UK power assessment, and the UK Levy Exemption Certificate (LEC) and Renewable Obligation Certificate (ROC) subsidy bandings for biomass power generation.
Launch date is August 15, 2014.
