Amendment 265 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 28
(28) Achieving the increased climate ambition will require substantial public resources in the EU as well as national budgets to be dedicated to the climate transition. To complement and reinforce the substantial climate-related spending in the EU budget, all auction revenues that are not attributed to the Union budget should be used for climate-related purposes. This includes the use for financial support to address social aspects in lower- and middle-income households by reducing distortive taxes. Further, to address distributional and social effects of the transition in low-income Member Statessupport the transition to innovative decarbonised technologies and processes, and to the upscaling of relevant technologies across the Union in a way that contributes to mitigating climate change in line with the objectives set out in Regulation (EU) 2021/1119, an additional amount of 2,5 % of the Union- wide quantity of allowances from [year of entry into force of the Directive] to 2030 should be used to fund the energy transition of the Member States with a gross domestic product (GDP) per capita below 65 % of the Union average in 2016-2018, through the Modernisation Fund referred to in Article 10d of Directive 2003/87/ECfor the Innovation Fund, to be renamed the Net-Zero Fund.

Amendment 297 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 30
(30) The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), established under Regulation (EU) […./..] of the European Parliament and of the Council51 , iscan be an alternative to free allocation to address the risk of carbon leakage. To the extent that sectors and subsectors are covered by that measure, they should not receive free allocation. However, a transitional phasing-out of free allowances is needed once assessment by the Commission has proven that the regulation is effective in preventing carbon leakage for both imports and exports. To the extent that sectors and subsectors are covered by that measure. Sufficient and WTO-compatible safeguards should nevertheless be provided for the products intended for export and their producers. Where free allowances are phased out in accordance with the finding of effectiveness of CBAM by the Commission report under [CBAM Regulation], a gradual transition is essential to allow producers, importers and traders to adjust to the new regime. TheSuch a reduction of free allocation should be implemented by applying a factor to free allocation for CBAM sectors, while the CBAM is phased in. This percentage (CBAM factor) should be equal to 100 % during the transitional period between the entry into force of [CBAM Regulation] and 2025, 90 % in 2026 and should be reduced by 10 percentage points each year to reach 0 % and thereby eliminate free allocation by the tenth year. The relevant delegated acts on free allocation should be adjusted accordingly for the sectors and subsectors covered by the CBAM , taking into account the need to maintain free allowances for the products that are exported. The free allocation no longer provided to the CBAM sectors based on this calculation (CBAM demand) must be auctioned and the revenues will accrue to the Innovation Fund, so as to support innovation in low carbon technologies, carbon capture and utilisation (‘CCU’), carbon capture and geological storage (‘CCS’), renewable energy and energy storage, in a way that contributes to mitigating climate change. Special attention should be given to projects in CBAM sectors. To respect the proportion of the free allocation available for the non- CBAM sectors, the final amount to deduct from the free allocation and to be auctioned should be calculated based on the proportion that the CBAM demand represents in respect of the free allocation needs of all sectors receiving free allocation. _________________ 51 [please insert full OJ reference] Or. en (For the referenced Commission report see wording of ITRE Amendment 653 by Klemen Grošelj, Dominique Riquet, Nicola Danti, Nils Torvalds, Bart Groothuis, Iskra Mihaylova, Ilhan Kyuchyuk, Atidzhe Alieva-Veli, Andreas Glück, Nicola Beer, available at https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/ITRE-AM-704894_EN.docx)

Amendment 348 #
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 both innovation projects and measures that implement and scale up innovative technologies that contribute significantly to decarbonisation in line with the Union´s climate targets. To reflect this, the Fund should be renamed "Net-Zero Fund". The Fund should support innovation in low-carbon technologies 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. Considering that revenues generated from penalties raised in Regulation xxxx/xxxx [FuelEU Maritime]52 are allocated to the InnovationNet-Zero 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 InnovationNet-Zero 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 InnovationNet-Zero Fund. _________________ 52[add ref to the FuelEU Maritime Regulation].

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 and synthetic fuels that are produced from renewables, as well as zero- emission propulsion technologies like wind technologies. 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].

Amendment 558 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 55
(55) Regulated entities covered by the buildings and road transport fuels emissions trading should surrender allowances for their verified emissions corresponding to the quantities of fuels they have released for consumption. They should surrender allowances for the first time for their verified emissions in 2026. In order to minimise the administrative burden, a number of rules applicable to the existing emissions trading system for stationary installations and aviation should be made applicable to emissions trading for buildings and road transport, with the necessary adaptations. This includes, in particular, rules on transfer, surrender and cancellation of allowances, as well as the rules on the validity of allowances, penalties, competent authorities and reporting obligations of Member States.

Amendment 566 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 56
(56) For emissions trading for fuels in the buildings and road transport sectors to be effective, it should be possible to monitor emissions with high certainty and at reasonable cost. Emissions should be attributed to regulated entities on the basis of fuel quantities released for consumption and combined with an emission factor. Regulated entities should be able to reliably and accurately identify and differentiate the sectors in which the fuels are released for consumption, as well as the final users of the fuels, in order to avoid undesirable effects, such as double burden. To have sufficient data to establish the total number of allowances for the period from 2028 to 2030, the regulated entities holding a permit at the start of the system in 2025 should report their associated historical emissions for 2024.
