Recital 16
Recital 16
(16) Regulation (EU) No 347/2013 requires a candidate project of common interest to prove a significant contribution to at least one criterion from a set of criteria in the process for the elaboration of the Union list, which may, but does not need to, include sustainability. That requirement, in line with the specific needs of the internal energy market at the time, enabled development of projects of common interest which addressed only security of supply risks even if they did not demonstrate benefits in terms of sustainability. However, given the evolution of the Union infrastructure needs and the decarbonisation goals, the Conclusions of the 2020 July European Council, according to which “Union expenditure should be consistent with Paris Agreement objectives and the "do no harm" principle of the European Green Deal, sustainability in terms of the integration of renewable and low-carbon energy sources into the grid or the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, as relevant, should be assessed in order to ensure that TEN-E policy is coherent with energy and climate policy objectives of the Union. The sustainability of CO2 transport networks is addressed by their purpose to transport carbon dioxide.
Amendment 230 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 1 – paragraph 2 – point a
Article 1 – paragraph 2 – point a
(a) addresses the identification of projects of common interest necessary to implement priority corridors and areas falling under the energy infrastructure categories in electricity, smart gas grids, hydrogen, electrolysers, small modular reactors and carbon dioxide set out in Annex II (‘energy infrastructure categories’);
Amendment 392 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 4 – paragraph 3 – point e – point i
Article 4 – paragraph 3 – point e – point i
(i) sustainability, including by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing the deployment of renewable hydrogen or low carbon hydrogen.
Amendment 403 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 4 – paragraph 3 – point f – introductory part
Article 4 – paragraph 3 – point f – introductory part
(f) for smart gas grid projects falling under the energy infrastructure category set out in point (2) of Annex II, the project is to contribute significantly to sustainability by enabling and facilitating the integration of renewable and low-carbon gases, such as biomethane, or renewable hydrogen or low carbon hydrogen, into the gas distribution and transmission networks in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, the project is to contribute significantly to at least one of the following specific criteria:
Amendment 416 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 4 – paragraph 3 – point f a (new)
Article 4 – paragraph 3 – point f a (new)
(f a) for small modular reactors projects falling under the energy infrastructure categories set out in point (6) of Annex II, the project is to contribute significantly to all of the following specific criteria: (i) reducing greenhouse gas emissions while maintaining security of energy supply; (ii) increase the stability and security of the grid; (iii) enhancing the factory-based serial production of modules, leading to lower absolute and per kWe total construction costs. (iiii) electricity storage facilities used for storing electricity on a permanent or temporary basis.
Amendment 846 #
Proposal for a regulation
Annex II – paragraph 1 – point 2 – point a
Annex II – paragraph 1 – point 2 – point a
(a) any of the following equipment or installation aiming at enabling and facilitating the integration of renewable and low-carbon gases (including biomethane or hydrogen) into the network: digital systems and components integrating ICT, control systems and sensor technologies to enable the interactive and intelligent monitoring, metering, quality control and management of gas production, transmission, distribution and consumption within a gas network. Furthermore, such projects may also include equipment to enable reverse flows from the distribution to the transmission level and related necessary upgrades to the existing network.
Amendment 914 #
Proposal for a regulation
Annex II – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 1 (new)
Annex II – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 1 (new)
(6) concerning small nuclear modules: (a) any equipment aiming at the development or construction of small modular reactors, which are defined as advanced reactors that produce electricity of up to 300MW(e) per module; installations and services essential for the European value chain to build up to a higher rate;
Amendment 1009 #
Proposal for a regulation
Annex IV – point 4 a (new)
Annex IV – point 4 a (new)
(4 a) (a) Level of sustainability: This criterion shall be measured by assessing either the extent of the grids’ ability to integrate renewable and low-carbon energy into the grid or the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, as relevant.
Amendment 1036 #
Proposal for a regulation
Annex IV – point 7 – point a
Annex IV – point 7 – point a
(a) sustainability measured by assessing the share of renewable hydrogen or low carbon hydrogen, or hydrogen meeting the criteria defined in point (4) (a) (ii) of Annex II integrated into the network, and the related greenhouse gas emission savings;
