Amendment to aluminium low-carbon differential P1020A, Europe

After a consultation period, which closed on November 26, Fastmarkets will amend the timing window for its low-carbon P1020 differential to include any transaction data concluded within up to 18 months, from up to three months previously.

The extension of the timing window will allow for an inclusive approach to the evolving low-carbon marketplace, allowing Fastmarkets to capture all reported transactions data under one robust differential.

The new specification is listed below:

MB-AL-0381 Aluminium low-carbon differential P1020A, Europe, $/tonne
Carbon limit: 4tCO2e per tonne of aluminium produced, Scope 1 and 2 emissions

Quantity: Min 100 tonnes
Location: Europe
Timing:Up to 18 months
Unit: USD per tonne
Publication: Monthly, first Friday of the month, 4pm London.
