(8) The EU ETS should incentivise production from installations that partly or fully reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, the description of some categories of activities in Annex I to Directive 2003/87/EC should be amended to ensure an equal treatment of installations in the sectors concerned. In addition, free allocation for the production of a product should be independent of the nature of the production process. It is therefore necessary to modify the definition of the products and of the processes and emissions covered for some benchmarks to ensure a level playing field for new and existing technologies. It is also necessary to decouple the update of the benchmark values for refineries and for hydrogen to reflect the increasing importance of production of hydrogen outside the refineries sector.

(13a) The Effort Sharing Regulation currently covers the municipal waste sector. The inclusion of the municipal waste sectors that contribute the most to GHG emissions (landfill and energy recovery of waste from incineration) within the scope of Directive 2003/87/EC necessitates a careful assessment to avoid any disturbance to the integrated management of municipal waste. This fulfils a public interest mandate for the benefit of the environment and human health. In particular, the inclusion should avoid potential negative externalities (large-scale transfers of non-recyclable municipal waste from incineration and from landfill to other illegal processing methods) and should ensure the profitability and effectiveness of integrated national systems for managing municipal waste. Therefore, by 31 December 2025, the Commission shall submit a report to the European Parliament and to the Council assessing the potential consequences of the inclusion of landfill and energy recovery of waste from municipal waste incineration in the EU ETS. If necessary, this should be accompanied by a legislative proposal to include the landfill and energy recovery of waste from municipal waste incineration within the scope of Directive 2003/87/EC.

(30) The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), established under Regulation (EU) […./..] of the European Parliament and of the Council51, isaims to complement and progressively offer an alternative to free allocation to address the risk of carbon leakage, while supporting the European Union’s competitiveness. 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 to allow producers, importers and traders to adjust to the new regime. The reduction of free allocation should be implemented and allow the CBAM to be fully effective. Free allowances must therefore be phased out once the CBAM has fully demonstrated its effectiveness. The reduction of free allocation should be implemented, once the CBAM has fully demonstrated its effectiveness, 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. 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]

(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 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 renewable and low-carbon sources, as well as zero-emission propulsion technologies like wind technologies. The Innovation Fund should be used to 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. 52[add ref to the FuelEU Maritime Regulation].

(43) The Communication of the Commission on Stepping up Europe’s 2030 climate ambition57 , underlined the particular challenge to reduce the emissions in the sectors of road transport and buildings. Therefore, the Commission announced that a further expansion of emissions trading could include emissions from road transport and buildings. Emissions trading for these two new sectors would be established through separate but adjacent emissions trading. This would avoid any disturbance of the well-functioning emissions trading in the sectors of stationary installations and aviation. The new system is accompanied by complementary policies and measures safeguarding against undue price impacts, shaping expectations of market participants and aiming for a carbon price signal for the whole economy. Previous experience has shown that the development of the new market requires setting up an efficient monitoring, reporting and verification system. In view of ensuring synergies and coherence with the existing Union infrastructure for the EU ETS covering the emissions from stationary installations and aviation, iBecause of the consequences that this new system would have on households, the middle-income bracket and small enterprises, the European Parliament is aoppropriate to set up emissions trading for the road transport and buildings sectors via an amendment to Directive 2003/87/ЕC. osed to this expansion. _________________ 57 COM(2020)562 final.

The report should pay special attention to the waste hierarchy, the capacity to reach the targets set by EU waste policies, the total cost of national systems for municipal waste management, the life- cycle GES emissions from landfilling and energy recovery from incinerated waste, and any measures that might overlap, such as double taxation at European and national level. If necessary, it should be accompanied by a legislative proposal to include landfilling and energy recovery from waste generated by incineration of municipal waste within the scope of Directive 2003/87/EC.
