Several Platts Carbon Intensity Cost Assessments impacted by technical issue with input data

Platts, part of S&P Global Energy, wishes to notify subscribers that carbon intensity cost assessments across natural gas are temporarily changing how a portion of the input data is calculated, due to a technical issue, effective Feb. 13, 2026.

Platts calculates carbon intensity costs using its price assessments for voluntary carbon credits, as well as carbon intensity data provided by the Horizons team, part of S&P Global Energy .

Changes to the data feed coming from a third party have impacted the natural gas carbon intensity data.

Until this technical issue is resolved, the Horizons team will use a 2024 average for upstream combustion, which will inform the relevant price premiums. No other modelling will be impacted.

The following natural gas carbon intensity costs will be impacted, and will begin reflecting changes to the underlying carbon intensity data published by Horizons' Centre for Emissions Excellence team from March 17.

Examples of the magnitude of impact can be found below:

These assessments appear in the fixed page AGP1927.

For further details of the changes to the underlying inputs, please contact the Centre for Emissions Excellence team at emissionsexcellence@spglobal.com.

Please send any further feedback, questions and comments on the Platts Carbon Intensity Premiums and/or Carbon-Accounted Costs to Platts_Carbon@spglobal.com , LNGeditorialteam@spglobal.com , petchems@spglobal.com and pricegroup@spglobal.com.
