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
Quality: P1020A or 99.7% minimum Al purity (Si 0.10% max, Fe 0.20% max). Ingot
Quantity: Min 100 tonnes
Location: Europe
Timing:Up to 18 months
Unit: USD per tonne
Publication: Monthly, first Friday of the month, 4pm London.
Note: Includes spot and contract liquidity
The following inferred prices will be affected by this amendment:
MB-AL-0377 Aluminium P1020A premium, in-whs dup Rotterdam, inferred low-carbon midpoint, $/tonne
MB-AL-0378 Aluminium P1020A premium, in-whs dp Rotterdam, inferred low-carbon midpoint, $/tonne
This differential is a part of the Fastmarkets base metals package.
