Platts to continue publication of several carbon intensity price premiums, reverses May 15 suspension

Platts, part of S&P Global Commodity Insights, will continue the publication of its Crude Oil, Refined Products and Natural Gas carbon intensity premiums, as well as its US Gulf Coast Methanol and APAC LNG carbon accounted values, reversing a previous decision to suspend them effective May 15.

Platts previously said it would suspend publication of these premiums and carbon-accounted values, a full list of which is available in the Carbon Intensity and Low Carbon Markets Specifications guide. This was in light of a decision from the S&P Global Commodity Insights analytics team to temporarily suspend its monthly carbon intensity values, which are an input to the Platts premium calculations.

Instead, Platts will continue to publish the associated carbon intensity premiums, but these will be calculated using the latest available carbon intensity data until further notice. The latest available carbon intensity data was published in April and reflects emissions in March 2025. The Platts calculations will adopt new data from the S&P Global Commodity Insights analytics team when it is available.

Further details of planned changes to the underlying carbon intensity values can be found here.
