Platts proposes renaming Nature-Based Avoidance, Tech Carbon Capture assessments
Platts, part of S&P Global Commodity Insights, is proposing to change the description of its Nature-Based Avoidance and Tech Carbon Capture assessments, effective June 2.
Platts is proposing to make these changes to better reflect liquidity in regional voluntary carbon projects surrounding both segments.
Platts proposes to change the names of the following assessments:
| Assessment Code | Current Assessment Description | Proposed Assessment Description |
| ATCCA00 | Platts Tech Carbon Capture $/mtCO2e Current Year | Biochar, US $/mtCO2e Current Year |
| ATCCB00 | Platts Tech Carbon Capture $/mtCO2e Yr01 | Biochar, US $/mtCO2e Yr01 |
| ANBAA00 | Platts Nature-Based Avoidance $/mtCO2e Current Year | Nature-Based Avoidance, Southeast Asia $/mtCO2e Current Year |
| APNBA00 | Platts Nature-Based Avoidance Vintage Current Year – 5 spread $/mtCO2e | Nature-Based Avoidance, Southeast Asia Vintage Current Year – 5 spread $/mtCO2e |
| APNBB00 | Platts Nature-Based Avoidance Vintage Current Year – 4 spread $/mtCO2e | Nature-Based Avoidance, Southeast Asia Vintage Current Year – 4 spread $/mtCO2e |
| APNBC00 | Platts Nature-Based Avoidance Vintage Current Year – 3 spread $/mtCO2e | Nature-Based Avoidance, Southeast Asia Vintage Current Year – 3 spread $/mtCO2e |
| APNBD00 | Platts Nature-Based Avoidance Vintage Current Year – 2 spread $/mtCO2e | Nature-Based Avoidance, Southeast Asia Vintage Current Year – 2 spread $/mtCO2e |
| APNBE00 | Platts Nature-Based Avoidance Vintage Current Year – 1 spread $/mtCO2e | Nature-Based Avoidance, Southeast Asia Vintage Current Year – 1 spread $/mtCO2e |
| APNBF00 | Platts Nature-Based Avoidance Vintage Current Year Spread $/mtCO2e | Nature-Based Avoidance, Southeast Asia Vintage Current Year Spread $/mtCO2e |
| ANBAB00 | Platts Nature-Based Avoidance $/mtCO2e Yr01 | Nature-Based Avoidance, Southeast Asia $/mtCO2e Yr01 |
This proposal also includes the currency conversions for each assessment, as well as all associated monthly averages.
The assessments appear in Carbon Markets Daily, and on the fixed pages CMA2001, ETA2001, CMA2002, ETA2002, CMA2003, ETA2003, CMA2004, ETA2004, CMA2005, ETA2005, CMA2006, ETA2006, CMA2007, ETA2007, CMA2008, ETA2008, CMA2009, ETA2009, CMA2011, ETA2011.
