Indonesia is aiming to have its national carbon market fully operational by the end of June 2026, with large-scale carbon trading expected to commence in July. The target is supported by Presidential Regulation No. 110 of 2025, which establishes the legal and institutional framework for implementing carbon economic value instruments and controlling greenhouse gas emissions. The regulation provides clear guidelines for emissions trading, carbon credit mechanisms, carbon unit registration, and safeguards against double counting, while also enabling linkages between domestic and international carbon markets.

To ensure transparency and credibility, the government is finalizing the integration of multiple carbon registry systems into a single national platform that meets international standards. Indonesia’s carbon market is expected to attract strong global interest, particularly due to the country’s comparative advantage in nature-based solutions such as forests, mangroves, seagrass meadows, and marine ecosystems. In addition to nature-based credits, opportunities are being opened for carbon capture and storage technologies by leveraging Indonesia’s geological potential. The operational carbon market is projected to support environmental conservation financing, accelerate the energy transition, and create a new engine for sustainable economic growth aligned with Indonesia’s climate commitments.
