South Korea’s Greenhouse Gas Inventory and Research Center (GIR / 온실가스종합정보센터) has released its monthly emissions trading bulletin for December 2025, according to a notice on the agency’s official information portal. The release takes the form of a downloadable HWP-format file . The filename includes the suffix “_수정,” indicating this is a corrected or revised version of the December dataset .
The bulletin is part of GIR’s routine series of monthly emissions trading disclosures, which covers allowance transaction data under South Korea’s Emissions Trading Scheme (K-ETS). The previous entry in the series covers November 2025, confirming the monthly cadence .
Substantive trading figures — including transaction volumes, price levels, and participant data — would be contained within the attached file, which was not available for review from the source text provided.
Carbon Market Context
- Database note: The DATA CONTEXT methodologies returned (e.g., Isometric Biogenic Carbon Capture v1.4, Verra VM0043 CO2-in-Concrete, Puro.Earth Geologically Stored Carbon 2024) reflect a semantic search against “emissions trading scheme” but are voluntary carbon market CDR methodologies with no direct connection to the K-ETS allowance market described in this source. They are included here for awareness only.
- Database note: The related policy discourse entries are from Japan’s GX League (March 2026) and concern Japanese green market and talent-market working groups — they are not directly related to this Korean ETS bulletin, though both fall under Northeast Asian carbon market developments worth monitoring in parallel.
- Database note: The aggregate market snapshot in the database (453,185 projects; ~4.35 Gt CO2e total) reflects voluntary carbon market registry data globally and should not be conflated with K-ETS compliance allowance data.

Translation & Accuracy Notes
- The actual December 2025 trading data (prices, volumes, counterparties) is inside the attached `.hwp` file; the source page text only confirms its existence and file size (114,688 bytes). No numerical trading data is available from the source text alone.
- The “_수정” (corrected/revised) suffix in the filename suggests the original December release was amended, but no explanation is given on the page.
- No explicit publication date appears in the scraped source text; “December 2025 trading information” refers to the data period, not necessarily when it was posted.
