South Korea’s Greenhouse Gas Inventory and Research Center (GIR; 온실가스종합정보센터) has released its monthly emissions trading statistics report for November 2025, according to a notice on the agency’s public bulletin board. The release takes the form of a downloadable HWP-format document .
The notice is part of GIR’s regular series of monthly emissions trading disclosures. A subsequent entry on the same bulletin board indicates that December 2025 trading data has also since been published, suggesting the series remains current .

Carbon Market Context
- In-house database note: GIR’s monthly trading bulletins cover Korea’s national Emissions Trading Scheme (K-ETS), one of the largest compliance carbon markets in Asia. The DATA CONTEXT methodologies returned (e.g., Isometric Biogenic Carbon Capture v1.4, Verra VM0043, Puro Earth Geologically Stored Carbon 2024) reflect a broad semantic match to “emissions trading” but are not specifically referenced in this source and are primarily relevant to voluntary CDR markets rather than the K-ETS compliance framework.
- In-house database note: The related policy discourse entries are drawn from Japan’s GX League (2026), not Korean regulatory sources; their relevance to this K-ETS data release is indirect at best.
- The in-house market snapshot (totalling ~4.35 billion tCO₂e across 453,185 projects) reflects the global voluntary carbon market, not K-ETS compliance data — readers should not conflate the two.

Translation & Accuracy Notes
- The source body contains only navigation elements and a file-attachment notice; all actual November 2025 trading data (volumes, prices, participants) are inside the attached `.hwp` file, which was not fetched or parsed. This brief cannot summarise the underlying statistics.
- No explicit publication date appears in the retrieved text; the date is inferred to be within or shortly after November 2025 based on the report title and the existence of a subsequent December 2025 post.
- The statement that a December 2025 report exists is based solely on navigation link text (“다음글 2025년 12월 배출권 거래정보”) and has not been independently verified against the linked page.
