Amendment 177 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 13
(13) Greenhouse gases that are not directly released into the atmosphere should be considered emissions under the EU ETS and allowances should be surrendered for those emissions unless they are stored in a storage site in accordance with Directive 2009/31/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council46 , or they are permanently chemically bound in a product so that they do not enter the atmosphere under normal use, or they are captured and used to produce recycled carbon fuels and renewable liquid and gaseous fuels of non-biological origin. The Commission should be empowered to adopt implementing acts specifying the conditions where greenhouse gases are to be considered as permanently chemically bound in a product so that they do not enter the atmosphere under normal use, including obtaining a carbon removal certificate, where appropriate, in view of regulatory developments with regard to the certification of carbon removals. _________________ 46Directive 2009/31/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 on the geological storage of carbon dioxide and amending Council Directive 85/337/EEC, European Parliament and Council Directives 2000/60/EC, 2001/80/EC, 2004/35/EC, 2006/12/EC, 2008/1/EC and Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 (OJ L 140, 5.6.2009, p. 114).

Proposal for a directive
Recital 31 a (new)
(31a) In order to reflect the actual technological progress within installations included in product benchmarks with consideration of fuel and electricity exchangeability in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/447 and where the share of indirect emissions is higher than 50 % of the relevant product benchmarks, the update of such benchmarks for the periods as of 2026 should not be affected by the evolution of the carbon intensity of the electricity mix.

Amendment 387 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 40
(40) Renewable liquid and gaseous fuels of non-biological origin and recycled carbon fuels can be important to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in sectors that are hard to decarbonise. Where recycled carbon fuels and renewable liquid and gaseous fuels of non-biological origin are produced from captured carbon dioxide under an activity covered by this Directive, the emissions should be accounted under that activity, where the CO2 is emitted into the atmosphere. To ensure that renewable fuels of non-biological origin and recycled carbon fuels contribute to greenhouse gas emission reductions and to avoid double counting for fuels that do so, it is appropriate to explicitly extend the empowerment in Article 14(1) to the adoption by the Commission of implementing acts laying down the necessary adjustments for how and where to account for the eventual release of carbon dioxide and how to avoid double counting to ensure appropriate incentives are in place for capturing the CO2, taking also into account the treatment of these fuels under Directive (EU) 2018/2001.

In order to provide further incentives for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving energy efficiency, the determined Union-wide ex-ante benchmarks shall be reviewed before the period from 2026 to 2030 in view of potentially modifying the definitions and system boundaries of existing product benchmarks so that new installations with partially or fully decarbonised production processes receive free allocation on the basis of such product benchmarks. The modification of definitions and system boundaries pursuant to the previous sub-paragraph shall not affect the calculation of the annual reduction rate calculated pursuant to Article 10a paragraph 2, third subparagraph, point (c), since such rate shall be calculated taking into account only installations that were included in the initial determination of the respective product benchmark.;
