Business actors must partner with at least three farmer institutions through profit-sharing agreements. They must also obtain a GRK Emission Reduction Certificate (Sertifikat Pengurangan Emisi GRK ? ?SPE GRK?) recommendation or non-SPE GRK approval from the Minister through the Carbon Unit Registry System before trading, while existing projects and carbon units must be reported within six months.

Key shifts include the recognition of international Non-Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction Certificate (Sertifikat Pengurangan Emisi Gas Rumah Kaca ? ?SPE GRK?) units, the transition from the previous registry to the new Carbon Unit Registry System, and streamlined administrative capital proofs, materially impacting how carbon exchange organizers register units and maintain strict operational compliance.

This Circular streamlines the fulfillment of River Basin (Daerah Aliran Sungai/DAS) rehabilitation obligations by holders of Forest Area Utilization Approvals and Forest Area Release Approvals due to Forest Area Exchanges through ecosystem restoration, which should be carried out under standardized Cooperation Agreements (Perjanjian Kerja Sama - ?PKS?). The Circular streamlines the applicable framework through the introduction of a new 10-business-day PKS completion timeline, as well as by requiring a five-year planting and maintenance commitment. The new framework also strengthens compliance through monitoring, technical supervision, administrative sanctions and transitional adjustments for ongoing projects.

The PT Bursa Efek Indonesia has overhauled its carbon exchange user regulations in order to bring them into line with the latest national framework on carbon economic value. The Amendment has significantly expanded the various types of tradable carbon units to include non-certified emission reductions and units that are unregistered in the national registry. Operationally, this move will offer companies greater flexibility by permitting the appointment of external parties as user administrators and extending the registration fee exemption period to early 2028.
