Platts discontinues various hydrogen price assessments from Aug. 15

Platts, part of S&P Global Commodity Insights, has discontinued a number of hydrogen assessments in North America, Europe, Japan, Australia and the Middle East effective Aug. 15, 2025.

The discontinuation of these assessments was proposed by Platts on April 8, in a subscriber note available here. The decision to discontinue the assessments was included in a subsequent subscriber note available here, published June 20.

Platts has refocused its cost-based assessments around three main production pathways, namely conventional grey hydrogen (steam methane reforming without carbon capture and storage), low carbon hydrogen (SMR hydrogen with CCS), and electrolytic hydrogen (alkaline electrolysis), where available.

This refinement provides clarity around the main reference prices for hydrogen. In addition, the number of cost-based assessments covering the Netherlands and the UK hydrogen sectors is being simplified.

The following assessments have been discontinued:

The discontinuation also encompasses the above assessments in converted currencies and units of measurement.

Due to the publishing cadence of the discontinued assessments in Australia, the US and Canada, the last available data for these markets will reflect values for Aug. 13, 2025.

These assessments were previously published in Hydrogen Daily and in the fixed pages CLE3100, CLE1100, ETA3300, CLE2100, ETA3200, ETA3100, and ETA3300.
