OMNI Features｜TIME: Over-Issuance of Carbon Emission Allowance in South Korea．Singapore to Construct the World's Largest Ocean Carbon Removal Plant．Kaohsiung o Reduce Coal Consumption by 400,000 Tons by End of Year
South Korea was one of the first countries in Asia to initiate a carbon trading mechanism. However, due to excessive carbon emission allowance, it has failed to incentivize emission reductions at pollution sources. An article on the TIME website points out that according to data from Seoul-based climate group Plan 1.5, from 2015 to 2022, the top ten emitters (companies) in Korea sold nearly 22 million surplus credits, earning about $357 million. Plan 1.5 analysis reveals that South Korea's "total emission trading scheme" regulates nearly 700 companies. Yet, there were a total of 39.2 million excess carbon emission quotas in 2021 and 2022 combined, equivalent to 6% of South Korea's total emissions in 2022.
