Amendment 229 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 20 a (new)
(20a) The successful transition to zero emission shipping requires an integrated approach and the appropriate enabling environment to stimulate innovation, both on ships and in ports. That enabling environment involves public and private investment in research and innovation, technological and operational measures to improve the energy efficiency of ships and ports, and the deployment of sustainable alternative fuels, such as hydrogen and ammonia, that are produced from renewable, low-carbon or nuclear energy sources, including through carbon contracts for difference aimed at bridging the price difference between low- and zero-carbon fuels and conventional fuels, and of zero emission propulsion technologies, including the necessary refuelling and recharging infrastructure in ports. An Ocean Fund should be established from revenues generated from the auctioning of allowances in respect of maritime transport activities under the EU ETS to improve the energy efficiency of ships and support investment aimed at facilitating the decarbonisation of maritime transport, including as regards short sea shipping and ports. In addition, the revenues generated from penalties imposed under Regulation (EU) xxxx/xxxx [FuelEUMaritime] of the European Parliament and of the Council should be allocated to the Ocean Fund as external assigned revenue in accordance with Article 21(5) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2018/1046 of the European Parliament and of the Council. The Commission should ensure that due consideration is given to support innovative projects aimed at accelerating the development and deployment of renewable and low-carbon fuels in the maritime sector, as specified in Article 21(1) of Regulation (EU) xxxx/xxxx [FuelEU Maritime]. Certain northern shipping routes are dependent on ice-class ships for winter navigation. Such ships can generate a greater quantity of emissions compared to similar ships for open-seas navigation due to higher fuel consumption when navigating through ice and the higher relative weight of their hull. In order to take into account the specific circumstances of ice-class ships and avoid undercounting actual emissions, support should be provided through the Ocean Fund for innovation and decarbonisation as regards ice-class ships.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 33
(33) The scope of the Innovation Fund referred to in Article 10a(8) of Directive 2003/87/EC should be extended to support innovation in low-carbon technologiesstallation of non-breakthrough technologies in industrial processes that have an large greenhouse gas-saving potential but are not market-ready as well as innovation in low-carbon technologies in particular breakthrough technologies identified in the industrial ecosystem transition pathways, and processes that concern the consumption of fuels in the sectors of buildings and road transport. In addition, the Innovation Fund should serve to support investments to decarbonise the maritime transport sector, including investments in sustainable alternative fuels, such as hydrogen and ammonia that are produced from renewables, as well as zero- emission propulsion technologies like wind technologies. The Innovation Fund should support nuclear energy-related activities. Considering that revenues generated from penalties raised in Regulation xxxx/xxxx [FuelEU Maritime]52 are allocated to the Innovation Fund as external assigned revenue in accordance with Article 21(5) of the Financial Regulation, the Commission should ensure that due consideration is given to support for innovative projects aimed at accelerating the development and deployment of renewable and low carbon fuels in the maritime sector, as specified in Article 21(1) of Regulation xxxx/xxxx [FuelEU Maritime]. To ensure sufficient funding is available for innovation within this extended scope, the Innovation Fund should be supplemented with 50 million allowances, stemming partly from the allowances that could otherwise be auctioned, and partly from the allowances that could otherwise be allocated for free, in accordance with the current proportion of funding provided from each source to the Innovation Fund. To foster innovation in breakthrough technologies as soon as possible, the Commission should ensure that the financing made available through the Innovation Fund is ‘frontloaded’ during the first years of implementation of this Directive. _________________ 52[add ref to the FuelEU Maritime Regulation].

Proposal for a directive
Recital 42
(42) The further exclusion of installations using exclusively biomass from the EU ETS haswill lead to situations where installations combusting a high share of biomass have obtained windfall profits by receiving free allowances greatly exceeding actual emissions. Therefore, aa lack of certainty over updating the benchmark values for free allocation and disincentivize a full transition to a zero- carbon energy source. A 100 % threshold value for zero-rated biomass combustion should be introduced above which mainstallations are excluded from the EU ETS. The threshold value of 95 % is in line with the uncertainty parameter set out in Article 2(16) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/33156 . _________________ 56 Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/331 of 19 December 2018 determining transitional Union-wide rules for harmonised free allocation of emission allowances pursuant to Article 10a of Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 59, 27.2.2019, p. 8)ined for installations to be excluded from the EU ETS.

Annex V a (new)
(4a) The following annex is added: “Annex Va Option to surrender a readjusted amount of allowances for ice class ships The readjusted amount of emission allowances to be surrendered for ice class ships shall correspond to a readjusted amount of emissions that is calculated based on the formula presented in this annex. The readjusted amount of emissions shall take into account the technical characteristics that increase emissions of ships belonging to a Finnish-Swedish ice class IA or IA Super or equivalent ice class during navigation at all times and the further increase of emissions due to navigating in ice conditions. Readjusted amount of emissions allowances to be surrendered annually mean readjusted amount of annual emissions CO2 R. The annual total emission CO2 T within the scope of the EU ETS are calculated on the basis of reporting in MRV as follows 𝑪𝑶𝟐 𝑻 = 𝑪𝑶𝟐 𝑻 𝒗𝒐𝒂𝒚𝒈𝒆𝒔 𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒘𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝑴𝑺 + 𝑪𝑶𝟐 𝑩 +𝟎.𝟓 ∙ (𝑪𝑶𝟐 𝒗𝒐𝒚𝒂𝒈𝒆𝒔 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝑴𝑺 + 𝑪𝑶𝟐 𝒗𝒐𝒚𝒂𝒈𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝑴𝑺), (1) where CO2 T voayges between MS denotes the aggregated CO2 emissions from all voyages between ports under a Member State's jurisdiction, CO2 B the emissions which occurred within ports under a Member State's jurisdiction at berth, CO2eq voyages from MS the aggregated CO2 emissions from all voyages which departed from ports under a Member State's jurisdiction and CO2 voyages to MS the aggregated CO2 emissions from all voyages to ports under a Member State's jurisdiction. Similarly the annual total emissions of an ice classed ship when navigating in ice conditions within the scope of the proposed Emissions Trading Directive for maritime transport CO2eI are calculated on the basis of reporting in MRV as follows 𝑪𝑶𝟐𝒆 𝑰 = 𝑪𝑶𝟐𝒆𝒒 𝑰 𝒗𝒐𝒂𝒚𝒈𝒆𝒔 𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒘𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝑴𝑺 +𝟎.𝟓 ∙ (𝑪𝑶𝟐𝒆𝒒 𝑰 𝒗𝒐𝒚𝒂𝒈𝒆𝒔 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝑴𝑺 + 𝑪𝑶𝟐𝒆𝒒 𝑰 𝒗𝒐𝒚𝒂𝒈𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝑴𝑺), (2) where CO2eq I voayges between MS denotes the aggregated CO2 emissions of an ice- classed ship when navigating in ice conditions between ports under a Member State's jurisdiction, CO2eq I voyages from MS emissions of an ice-classed ship when navigating in ice conditions from all voyages which departed from ports under a Member State's jurisdiction and CO2eq I voyages to MS emissions of an ice-classed ship when navigating in ice conditions from all voyages to ports under a Member State's jurisdiction. The annual total distance travelled within the scope of the proposed Emissions Trading Directive for maritime transport is calculated as follows 𝑫𝑻 = 𝑫𝑻 𝒗𝒐𝒂𝒚𝒈𝒆𝒔 𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒘𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝑴𝑺 +𝟎.𝟓 ∙ (𝑫𝑻 𝒗𝒐𝒚𝒂𝒈𝒆𝒔 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝑴𝑺 + 𝑫𝑻 𝒗𝒐𝒚𝒂𝒈𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝑴𝑺), (3) where DT voayges between MS denotes the aggregated distance from all voyages between ports under a MS jurisdiction, DT voyages from MS the aggregated distance from all voyages which departed from ports under a MS jurisdiction and DT voyages to MS the aggregated distance from all voyages to ports under a MS jurisdiction. The aggregated distance travelled when navigating in ice conditions within the scope of the proposed Emissions Trading Directive for maritime transport is calculated as follows 𝑫𝑰 = 𝑫𝑰 𝒗𝒐𝒂𝒚𝒈𝒆𝒔 𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒘𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝑴𝑺 +𝟎.𝟓 ∙ (𝑫𝑰 𝒗𝒐𝒚𝒂𝒈𝒆𝒔 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝑴𝑺 + 𝑫𝑰 𝒗𝒐𝒚𝒂𝒈𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝑴𝑺), (4) where DT voayges between MS denotes the aggregated distance sailed in ice conditions from all voyages between ports under a MS jurisdiction, DT voyages from MS the aggregated distance sailed in ice conditions from all voyages which departed from ports under a MS jurisdiction and DT voyages to MS the aggregated distance sailed in ice conditions from all voyages to ports under a MS jurisdiction. The readjusted amount of annual emissions CO2eq R are calculated as follows CO2 R = CO2 T - CO2 TF - CO2 NI, (5) where CO2 TF denotes the increase in annual emissions due to technical characteristics of ships having a Finnish-Swedish ice class IA or IA Super or equivalent ice class and CO2 NI the increase in annual emissions of an ice classed ship due to navigating in ice conditions. The increase in annual emissions due to technical characteristics of ships having a Finnish-Swedish ice class IA or IA Super or equivalent ice class CO2 TF is calculated as follows: 𝑪𝑶𝟐 𝑻𝑭 = 𝟎.𝟎𝟓 × (𝑪𝑶𝟐 𝑻 ― 𝑪𝑶𝟐 𝑩 ― 𝑪𝑶𝟐 𝑵𝑰). (6) The increase in annual emissions due to navigating in ice conditions is calculated as follows: 𝑪𝑶𝟐 𝑵𝑰 = 𝑪𝑶𝟐 𝑰 ― 𝑪𝑶𝟐 𝑹𝑰 , (7) where the readjusted annual emissions for navigating in ice conditions CO2 RI are 𝑪𝑶𝟐𝒆𝒒 𝑪𝑶𝟐 𝑹𝑰 = 𝑫𝑰 × ( 𝑫 ) 𝒐𝒑𝒆𝒏 𝒘𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓 , (8) 𝑪𝑶𝟐𝒆𝒒 where ( 𝑫 ) 𝑶𝑾 the emissions for voyages per distance travelled in open water. The latter is defined as follows: 𝑪𝑶𝟐 𝑪𝑶𝟐 𝑻 ― 𝑪𝑶𝟐 𝑩 ― 𝑪𝑶𝟐 𝑰 ( ) 𝑫 𝑶𝑾 = 𝑫𝑻 ― 𝑫𝑰 . (9) List of all symbols: CO2 T annual total emissions within the geographical scope of the EU ETS CO2 T voayges between MS aggregated CO2 emissions from all voyages between ports under a Member State's jurisdiction CO2 B emissions which occurred within ports under a Member State's jurisdiction at berth CO2eq voyages from MS aggregated CO2 emissions from all voyages which departed from ports under a Member State's jurisdiction CO2 voyages to MS aggregated CO2 emissions from all voyages to ports under a Member State's jurisdiction DT annual total distance travelled within the scope of the EU ETS DT voayges between MS aggregate distance from all voyages between ports under a MS jurisdiction DT voyages from MS aggregated distance from all voyages which departed from ports under a MS jurisdiction DT voyages to MS aggregated distance from all voyages to ports under a MS jurisdiction.
