OJK Issues New Rules for Carbon Trading Ahead of SRUK Launch

JAKARTA - The Financial Services Authority (OJK) has officially issued Regulation OJK (POJK) Number 10 of 2026 concerning Carbon Trading through the Carbon Exchange. The regulation was issued as a foundation for strengthening the national carbon trading mechanism ahead of the operation of the Carbon Unit Registry System (SRUK).

Head of the Department of Surveillance and Policy of the Integrated Financial Services Sector of the OJK, Agus Firmansyah, said POJK Number 10 of 2026 is a change to POJK Number 14 of 2023 regarding Carbon Trading through the Carbon Exchange, and the regulation has been officially promulgated on July 6, 2026.

"The issuance of POJK 10 Year 2026 is carried out as part of OJK's policy to support the government's strategic policy in the implementation of carbon economic value instruments and national greenhouse gas emission control," he said in an official statement on Thursday, July 9.

The POJK was compiled as a follow-up to the issuance of Presidential Regulation Number 110 of 2025 concerning the Implementation of Carbon Economic Value Instruments and National Greenhouse Gas Emission Control which revised a number of provisions in Presidential Regulation Number 98 of 2021 concerning Carbon Economic Value.

One of the main changes in this new regulation is the obligation of all carbon units traded through the carbon exchange to be recorded in the Carbon Unit Registry System (SRUK). This provision replaces the previous recording mechanism using the National Climate Change Control Registry System (SRN PPI).

In addition, OJK also expands the scope of types of carbon units that can be traded on the carbon exchange, including regulating the trading mechanism of carbon units that originate from abroad and have not been recorded in the SRUK.

In terms of governance, the carbon exchange organizers are required to submit certain reports to the relevant ministries.

This regulation also strengthens the application of the principle of consumer protection in accordance with OJK regulations regarding consumer and community protection in the financial services sector for all parties involved in carbon trading through the carbon exchange.

During the transition period to full operationalization of SRUK, OJK will still provide space for carbon unit trading which is still recorded in the electronic system owned by the relevant ministry.

The transition period is valid for a maximum of three months from the issuance of POJK Number 10 of 2026 on July 6, 2026 or until SRUK begins to operate in full.
