Article 11a (new)
(6a) The following Article is inserted: ‘Article 11a Use of synthetic and alternative fuels 1. Upon application by a manufacturer, CO2 savings achieved through the use of synthetic and advanced alternative fuels (hereinafter “alternative fuels”) shall be considered to reduce the average specific emissions of CO2 of a manufacturer in accordance with paragraphs 2 and 3 of this Article. 2. In alternative of being included in a manufacturer’s average specific CO2 emissions as referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article, CO2 savings achieved through the use of alternative fuels may be allocated to individual vehicles which are technically capable of using the credited alternative fuel in accordance with Regulation (EC) 715/2007. 3. Each Member State shall record for each calendar year the quantities of alternative fuels placed on the market by a manufacturer, or the quantities of alternative fuels allocated to a manufacturer, and shall provide appropriate certification of these quantities and the resulting CO2 savings by correspondingly applying the certification and documentation procedure laid down in Directive (EU) 2018/2001. The Member States shall ensure that credits are issued only for quantities that meet the requirements of Directive (EU) 2018/2001 and where it is ensured that no simultaneous allocation takes place against the reduction targets set out in Article 25(1) of Directive (EU) 2018/2001. The credits must indicate the issuing Member State, their period of validity, and the quantity and type of alternative fuel for which they were issued. The credits must be tradable. With a view to minimising the risk of single quantities being claimed more than once in the Union, Member States and the Commission shall strengthen cooperation among national systems, including, where appropriate, the exchange of data. Where the competent authority of one Member State suspects or detects a fraud, it shall, where appropriate, inform the other Member States. 4. The amount of the savings referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 shall be calculated in accordance with Annex I, Part C.’

Article 1 – paragraph 1 – point 9
Regulation (EU) 2019/631
Article 14a – paragraph 1
By 31 December 2025, and every two years thereafter, the Commission shall report on the progress towards zero emission road mobility. The report shall in particular monitor and assess the need for possible additional measures to facilitate the transition, including through financial means. climate neutral road mobility. The report shall assess and ascertain whether this regulation needs to be modified to take a more holistic and comprehensive approach to emissions, on the basis of the methodologies set out in Articles 7(10) and 12(3a). The report shall in particular monitor and assess the need for possible additional measures to facilitate the transition, including through financial means. In the reporting, the Commission shall consider all factors that contribute to a cost-efficient progress towards climate neutrality by 2050, including the following: a) the cost of zero- and low-emission vehicles; b) consumer take-up of zero- and low- emission vehicles; c) the specific characteristics of light commercial vehicles; d) progress in achieving a sufficient roll- out of recharging and refuelling infrastructure for alternative fuels including, but not limited to; progress in achieving the targets as required under the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation and the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive; e) the potential contribution of innovation technologies and sustainable alternative fuels, including synthetic fuels, to reach climate neutral mobility; f) the contribution of emissions trading in road transport; g) the functioning of the incentive mechanism for zero- and low-emission vehicles; h) the impact on consumers, particularly those on low and medium incomes; i) progress in social dialogue as well as aspects to further facilitate an economically viable and socially fair transition, taking into account employment and competitiveness, towards affordable climate neutral road mobility. For each of the factors listed above, the Commission shall issue an assessment of its effectiveness, taking into account expected progress, in enabling the 2030 and 2035 fleet average CO2 targets to be met.
