<p>This Presidential Regulation introduces several important changes that reshape Indonesia’s carbon governance framework. It  replaces Presidential Regulation No. 98 of 2021 on Carbon Economic Value (the Implementation of Carbon Pricing to Achieve the Nationally Determined Contribution Target and Control over Greenhouse Gas Emissions in the National Development). The key elements are:</p>
<ol>
<li>The recognition of Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM) activities; </li>
<li>The acknowledgement of established international standards, and abolition of the earlier Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA) mecahnism; </li>
<li>Carbon projects may choose to obtain certification either from the Indonesian government (Sertifikat Pengurangan Emisi – SPE) or from other recognized certification bodies (non-SPE);</li>
<li>Differentiation between Correpsonding Adjustment (CA) units under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement for carbon units authorised for international transfer, and non-CA units that remain within the boundaries of Indonesia;</li>
<li>A centralised registry (Sistem Registri Unit Karbon; SRUK) for all carbon unit data and transactions; and</li>
<li>Continuity of Implementing Regulations: Although Presidential Regulation No. 98 of 2021 is revoked, its implementing regulations (Regulation 21/2022 on Guidelines for Implementing the Carbon Economic Value) remain in effect insofar as they do not contradict the new regulation. </li>
