Platts, part of S&P Global Commodity Insights, has amended the minimum volumes reflected in its voluntary carbon credit spot market assessments and introduced a maximum volume reflected effective Jan. 3, 2023.
This change was first proposed Oct. 21 in a note available here: https://www.spglobal.com/commodityinsights/en/our-methodology/subscriber-notes/102122-platts-proposes-to-amend-minimum-volumes-introduce-maximums-to-its-voluntary-carbon-credit-assessments.
A decision was published Nov. 30 and is available here: https://www.spglobal.com/commodityinsights/en/our-methodology/subscriber-notes/113022-platts-to-amend-minimum-volumes-introduce-maximums-to-its-voluntary-carbon-credit-assessments
This change widens the scope of the Platts voluntary carbon credit spot market assessments, introducing the option of normalization for transactions of varying volume.
Platts has amended the minimum volume reflected in its Renewable Energy and Methane Collection assessments to 50,000 mtCO2e, with a maximum volume of 150,000 mtCO2e.
Under the previous methodology, Platts reflected bids, offers and transactions for Renewable Energy and Methane Collection carbon credits of 20,000 mtCO2e with no maximum.
Further, Platts has maintained the minimum volume reflected in its Platts CAC, Nature-Based Avoidance, Household Devices and Industrial Pollutants assessments at 20,000 mtCO2e, but has introduced a maximum volume of 100,000 mtCO2e.
Under the previous methodology, these assessments had no maximum volume.
Finally, Platts has amended the minimum volume reflected in its Platts CRC, Technological Carbon Capture, and Natural Carbon Capture assessments to 5,000 mtCO2e, while introducing a maximum reflected volume of 50,000 mtCO2e.
Previously these assessments reflected bids, offers and transactions of a minimum of 20,000 mtCO2e and no maximum.
