Carbon EX Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representatives: Kohei Nishiwada, Shunsuke Takeda; hereinafter "the Company"), through its exroad division, has released the "Global Emissions Trading System Report 2026." This report organizes and explains in Japanese the trends in global Emissions Trading Systems (ETS) based on the latest report from ICAP (International Carbon Action Partnership).
ETS are being introduced and considered not only in the EU, China, and North America, but also in various Asian countries, making it crucial for companies to understand international regulatory trends. This report summarizes the key points of the original English report, which is extensive, and re-structures them in a way that is easy for Japanese companies to utilize in their operations.
## Overview of "Global Emissions Trading System Report 2026"
The "Global Emissions Trading System Report 2026" organizes the key points of "Emissions Trading Worldwide: ICAP Status Report," which ICAP publishes annually. It summarizes the utilization of auction revenues, which reached approximately 79 billion dollars in 2025 alone and a cumulative 454 billion dollars, as well as trends in the EU-ETS where carbon prices soared close to 100 dollars.
Furthermore, it explains the full-scale implementation of CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) and the progress of Japan's GX-ETS, as well as developments in new system introductions in Asian countries such as India and Vietnam. As system implementation progresses, primarily in emerging and middle-income countries, companies are required to not only reduce emissions but also respond to risks associated with carbon prices and regulatory changes.
Our company provides information that contributes to corporate decision-making through "exroad," an all-in-one information service for carbon credits and emissions trading systems. This report can be used as fundamental material for sustainability departments, management planning departments, and business divisions to grasp international regulatory trends.

## What is ICAP?
ICAP is a forum established in October 2007 for the international dissemination and cooperation of emissions trading systems. Public institutions such as national and state governments participate, engaging in expert discussions and knowledge sharing on system design.
ICAP's activities are centered on "technical dialogue," "knowledge sharing," and "capacity building." It facilitates the exchange of knowledge on system design among member countries and regions, provides training for policymakers, and publishes status reports summarizing the implementation status of ETS in various countries and regions.
