Introducing the OPIS Carbon Offset NGL/LPG Index

OPIS Carbon Offset NGL/LPG Index reflects spot prices for NGLs (propane, butane, ethane) combined with carbon credits necessary to offset the fuels’ emissions.

The lack of liquidity in the renewable propane market poses a significant challenge. With a limited volume of renewable propane available, sold under undisclosed formulas, participants face difficulty in understanding the true costs of offsetting propane’s carbon footprint.

The OPIS Carbon Offset NGL/LPG Index helps you assess and hedge the cost of offsetting the carbon impact of propane, butane and ethane. With assessments for propane, butane and ethane pricing at Mont Belvieu and FOB Arab Gulf, the indices provide a means to establish the cost to offset carbon footprints, enabling companies to calculate and evaluate investments in purchasing offsets, investing in projects that generate offsets, and bringing transparency on costs for the entire value chain.
