Busan Metropolitan City to Recruit Vehicles for Participation in the Carbon Neutrality Points Program (Automobile Sector)

내용

Busan Metropolitan City, led by Mayor Park Heong-joon, announced that it will recruit 6,551 vehicles on a first-come, first-served basis from today (March 9) through March 19 to participate in the Carbon Neutrality Points Program (Automobile Sector).

The Carbon Neutrality Points Program (Automobile Sector) is a citizen participation initiative designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by encouraging drivers to decrease their vehicle mileage.

This year, an additional 20 million won in national funding has been secured, increasing the number of recruitable vehicles to 6,551—an increase of 1,805 vehicles compared with last year (2025).

Eligible participants are non-commercial passenger cars and vans with up to 12 seats registered in Busan Metropolitan City. Eco-friendly vehicles such as electric, hybrid, and hydrogen vehicles, as well as commercial vehicles, are excluded.

Incentives will be provided based on the reduction in driving distance by comparing the mileage recorded before participation with the mileage during the participation period (from the application date to October, approximately six months).

Incentives will be offered in five tiers depending on the level of reduction, ranging from a minimum of 20,000 won to a maximum of 100,000 won, and are expected to be distributed around December this year.

Applications can be submitted through the Carbon Neutrality Points (Automobile) website at https://car.cpoint.or.kr, and applicants must upload photos of the vehicle license plate and odometer taken in real time.

If the quota is not filled during the first recruitment period, a second recruitment will take place from April 6 to April 10.

For inquiries regarding the Carbon Neutrality Points Program (Automobile Sector), applicants can contact the Carbon Neutrality Points Customer Service Center at 1660-2030.

Meanwhile, from 2020 through last year, a total of 12,876 vehicles participated in the Carbon Neutrality Points Program (Automobile Sector) over six years, resulting in the reduction of 3,095 tons of greenhouse gas emissions and the distribution of 574 million won in incentives.

Lee Byeong-seok, Assistant Mayor of Environment and Water Policy Office, stated, “The Carbon Neutrality Points Program (Automobile Sector) is a practical lifestyle initiative that allows citizens to participate in reducing greenhouse gas emissions by decreasing their vehicle mileage in everyday life.” He added, “We hope many citizens will show interest and take part in this program to help respond to the climate crisis and achieve carbon neutrality.”
