Platts discontinues cost-based low-carbon ammonia, hydrogen assessments Dec. 9

Platts, part of S&P Global Energy, has discontinued its cost-based low-carbon ammonia and hydrogen assessments, as well as its Carbon Neutral Hydrogen and Implied Hydrogen Origin Certificate assessments, in North America, Europe, Japan, Australia and the Middle East, effective Dec. 9.

This follows a decision note published on Sept. 30.

Platts notes that, where underlying market liquidity permits, participants consistently prefer market-based price assessments. The discontinuation aims to reflect this market demand.

Platts will also launch a weekly market-based price assessment for renewable hydrogen in India on Dec. 11, and has proposed a market-based hydrogen assessment in NW Europe.

This discontinuation does not include Platts' existing Renewable Fuels of a Non-Biological Origin compliant calculated assessments that cover renewable hydrogen in France, Germany, the Netherlands and Spain.

Platts has also discontinued cost-based low-carbon ammonia assessments, as Platts already provides market-based price assessments for low-carbon ammonia.

The list of calculated price assessments to be discontinued can be found here.

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

The full list of affected assessments is included in the appendix.
