Indonesia Sets New Carbon Trading Record

Policy and industry News

Indonesia's carbon trading has entered a promising new chapter. In January 2025, the country officially launched its first international carbon trading transaction through IDXCarbon, held at the Main Hall of the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) in Jakarta.

The inauguration event was attended by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (MoEF), the Financial Services Authority (OJK), and PT IDX, marking an initial step towards expanding collaboration into the international carbon market.

Transaction Surge: Record Broken!

During the first quarter of 2025, the carbon trading volume on IDXCarbon reached 690,675 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO₂e). This figure exceeds the total volume of transactions in both 2023 and 2024, setting a new national record for carbon credit sales.
