Platts to launch hydrogen pump prices for California, Europe and Japan

S&P Global Platts has decided to launch new monthly assessments for hydrogen pump prices in the California market, based on a survey of hydrogen fuel station operators, commencing Sept. 2, 2021.

The monthly price survey will consider representative high and low pump prices heard in the Californian market from hydrogen fuel station operators across the state.

Alongside these assessments, Platts will also republish posted pump prices for Germany and Japan hydrogen fuel stations. For Germany, these will be sourced from H2 MOBILITY Deutschland, a consortium of hydrogen retail station operators, and for Japan from gas company Iwatani. Prices will be converted from their respective currencies into both US Dollars and Euros using Platts FX currency conversion assessments. The data will be published on the Platts Dimensions Pro and under the Market Data Category, HY.

All Japanese prices will be published in Japanese Yen, US Dollars and Euros. All European prices will be published in Euros and US Dollars. All US prices will be published in US Dollars and Euros.

The following symbols have been created and will begin updating Sept. 2:

- Japan Tohoku H2 Pump Price $/kg HYPUO00, Yen/kg HYPUP00
