Platts to rename carbon neutral LNG assessments

Platts, part of S&P Global Commodity Insights, will change the name of its carbon neutral LNG assessments from Feb. 1, 2023 to align nomenclature with other similar Platts price assessments.

The term "Carbon Neutral" will be replaced by "Carbon Accounted," meaning the assessments will now be under the header "Carbon Accounted LNG."

The full list of assessments to be renamed is as below:

CNL WTW JKTC Differential (ex-Australia) will be renamed CAL WTW JKTC Differential (ex-Australia).

CNL WTT JKTC Differential (ex-Australia) will be renamed CAL WTT JKTC Differential (ex-Australia).

CNL DES JKTC Differential (ex-Australia) will be renamed CAL DES JKTC Differential (ex-Australia).

CNL Combustion JKTC will be renamed CAL Combustion JKTC.

CNL WTW Australia-JKTC (Removals Credits) will be renamed CAL WTW Australia-JKTC (Removals Credits).
