Korean Market Update

The government has released the second phase of the National Emission Permit Allocation Plan last July 2018. The allocation plan was delayed from its original schedule due to changes in the responsible agencies and the government's new policies. The second phase is allocated with 1,796 million tons. Phase 2 is 2% higher than the emissions in 2014-2016. 

Covered entities were given until the end of August 2018 to apply for allocations. The result will be out by the end of October 2018.
