Daejeon City is recruiting participants for the "2026 Carbon Neutrality Point Program – Automobile Sector," which provides incentives based on reductions in vehicle mileage.


Applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis for 6,112 participants from March 16 to March 26, 2026.


The "Carbon Neutrality Point Program – Automobile Sector" is a system that grants incentives to drivers who reduce their driving distance compared to their previous mileage after joining the program, thereby contributing to carbon emission reductions. Incentives will be awarded based on either the reduction rate (%) or the reduction amount (km), whichever is more advantageous, and will range from a minimum of 20,000 won to a maximum of 100,000 won.


Eligible applicants are owners of non-commercial passenger or van vehicles with up to 12 seats registered in Daejeon City. However, vehicles owned by corporations or organizations, vehicles registered for business purposes, and eco-friendly vehicles such as electric cars, hybrid cars, and hydrogen vehicles are excluded from eligibility.


To apply, users must sign up on the Carbon Neutrality Point website and submit photos of the vehicle license plate and dashboard via a link sent by text message to complete the application process.


If the quota is not filled in the first round, an additional recruitment period will be held from April 6 to April 10, 2026.



Moon Changyong, Director of Environment at Daejeon City, stated, "This system allows citizens to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles through eco-friendly driving and the use of public transportation while also receiving incentives. We hope for active interest and participation from the public in the automobile carbon neutrality point program."
