Platts discontinues Asia Biodiesel-Gasoil spread Feb. 25

Platts, part of S&P Global Energy, has discontinued its Asia Biodiesel-Gasoil spread calculation (ASIAA00), effective Feb. 25, 2026.

The calculation reflects the spread between the Biodiesel FOB Southeast Asia assessment (AAVSV00) and the benchmark Gasoil FOB Singapore cargo assessment (POABC00). Platts discontinued the Biodiesel FOB Southeast Asia price effective Feb. 25, 2026, following the observation of reduced international trading activity of palm oil methyl ester (PME), amid a decline in demand from destination countries and strong domestic demand in producing countries.

The decision to discontinue the spread calculation was first published in a subscriber note on Feb. 11.

The decision to discontinue the Biodiesel FOB Southeast Asia assessment was published Dec. 17, 2025.
