Platts to discontinue 2025 German THG double-counting assessments

Platts, part of S&P Global Energy, will discontinue the current year and previous year (2025), THG double-counting assessments, effective Jan. 2, 2026.

This decision follows a proposal published July 22 to discontinue these assessments.

Details of these assessments are as follows:

Germany's Renewable Energy Directive III transposition draft, published on June 19, proposed ending double-counting incentives on biofuels derived from advanced feedstocks from Jan. 1, 2026. Following the Bundeskabinett's approval of the latest RED III draft on Dec. 10 and announcement that the policy will enter into force on Jan. 1, implemented retroactively later in the year, Platts has decided to discontinue the current and previous year, or 2025, THG double-counting assessments.

Platts has also decided to discontinue the year-ahead or 2026 THG double-counting assessments, which were previously suspended.

Details of these assessments are as follows:
