In 2015, South Korea implemented the Korea Emissions Trading System (K-ETS) to achieve national greenhouse gas reduction goals. The main difference between the ETS of Korea and that of other countries is the inclusion of both direct Scope I emissions and indirect Scope 2 emissions in the emission allowance allocation. In this study, we obtained data for Phase I (2015-2017) and Phase II (2019) K-ETS implementation periods and analyzed the effect of the allocation of Scope 2 emissions on the corporate greenhouse gas emission structure. Our analysis results revealed that the companies subject to the emission quota in the industrial sectors showed reductions in Scope 1 emissions after implementing the K-ETS. Furthermore, the net reduction of Scope 1 emissions was greater in Phase I than in Phase II. The reduction of Scope 2 emissions was not significant during the K-ETS implementation period, but we observed that Scope 2 emissions decreased when the carbon price increased
