Committee: ITRE
Amendment 76 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital G
G. whereas natural gas is becoming ever more important in heating given that the chemical energy stored in it can be converted into heat energy highly efficiently;

Committee: ITRE
Amendment 89 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital G a (new)
Ga. whereas priority should be given to efficiency in order to reduce overall energy demand which will in turn reduce the need for overinvestment in renewable energy;

Committee: ITRE
Amendment 138 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 3 a (new)
3a. Underlines that 85% of the energy consumption within a building is used for space heating and domestic hot water in Europe, therefore it is crucial to enable consumers to accelerate the modernisation of their old and inefficient heating systems;

Committee: ITRE
Amendment 141 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 3 b (new)
3b. Considers that a stumbling block to improving the efficiency of the households in the EU is the lack of awareness among consumers about the efficiency of their heating systems;

Committee: ITRE
Amendment 336 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 18
18. Considers that heat exchangers can play a vital role in cooling in the food industry in transferring heat to natural bodies of water (free cooling) located close to sites at which products are stored, the temperature of which does not exceed 6°C throughout the year;deleted

Committee: ITRE
Amendment 343 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 19
19. Takes the view that high-power stationary fuel cells could, in the very near future, be an environmentally friendly alternative to coal as a solid fuel, thanks to the use of hydrogen obtained, for example, from water gas, produced via the thermal processing of coal in an atmosphere containing water vapour;

Committee: ITRE
Amendment 349 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 20
20. Given that fossil fuels account for 75% of the primary energy supply in heating and cooling, and therefore for more than 37% of the EU’s total energy consumption, points out to the Commission the possibility of including those sectors in the EU ETS, including fuel combustion facilities with a capacity of less than 20 MW;deleted

Committee: ITRE
Amendment 358 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 21
21. Takes the view that research under the Horizon 2020 framework programme should cover the development of new materials with maximum thermal conductivity (heat exchangers), minimum conductivity – i.e. maximum thermal resistance (thermal insulation), and maximum heat accumulation rates (heat stores);deleted

Committee: ITRE
Amendment 361 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 21 a (new)
21a. Emphasises that European legislation on heating and cooling should be technological neutral and should therefore not contain reference to specific technologies;

Committee: ITRE
Amendment 363 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 22
22. Takes the view that research should be carried out under the Horizon 2020 framework programme on structural window panes that let in high levels of short-wave radiation (sunlight) from outside and let out only a minimum of the long-wave thermal radiation that would otherwise escape to the outside;deleted
