Platts to discontinue various hydrogen price assessments

Platts, part of S&P Global Commodity Insights, is discontinuing a number of Hydrogen assessments in North America, Europe, Japan, Australia and the Middle East from Aug. 15, 2025.

The discontinuation date for these assessments has been amended to Aug. 15 from the July 1 date initially proposed by Platts, detailed in a subscriber note available here(opens in a new tab).

Platts is refocusing its cost-based assessments around three main production pathways, namely conventional grey hydrogen (SMR without CCS); low carbon hydrogen (SMR hydrogen with CCS); and electrolytic hydrogen (alkaline electrolysis), where available.

This alignment will provide improved clarity around the main reference prices for hydrogen.

In addition, the number of cost-based assessments covering the Netherlands and the UK hydrogen sectors are being simplified.

The discontinuation will affect the following assessments:

These assessments can be found in Hydrogen Daily, and in the fixed pages CLE3100, CLE1100, ETA3300, CLE2100, ETA3200, ETA3100, and ETA3300.
