Recital D
Recital D
D. whereas cutting methane emissions can have a quicker impact on slowmethane is a short-lived climate gas that is degraded into water and CO2 ing the rate of global warming than reducing CO2 emissions, since methane does not stay in the atmosphere for as lmosphere within 12 years, and whereas biogenic methane sources do not add new CO2 to the atmosphere after their degradationg, and it could therefore be one of the most cost- effective strategies to rapidly reducebut that the resulting CO2 is removed from the atmosphere by means of photosynthesis through plant growth and therefore is cyclical in principle, while methane from fossil sources adds CO2 to the rate of warming and avoid some tipping points for global warming;mosphere, so that fossil and biogenic methane sources should be accorded different weightings.

Recital D a (new)
Da. whereas, unlike other sources of methane, methane emissions in agriculture from natural fermentation by ruminants resulting from the exploitation of grassland to provide food for humans cannot be significantly reduced;

Recital D b (new)
Recital D b (new)
Db. whereas, unlike other sources of methane, methane emissions in agriculture from natural fermentation by ruminants resulting from the exploitation of grassland to provide food for humans cannot be significantly reduced and whereas interfering with nature cannot be justified;
Amendment 102 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 1
Paragraph 1
1. Welcomes the cross-sectoral approach outlined in the EU strategy to reduce methane emissions and fully supports a fair framework covering the energy, agriculture, waste and energy and waste sectors;
Amendment 235 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 11 – subparagraph 1 (new)
Paragraph 11 – subparagraph 1 (new)
Stresses that the production of renewable biogas from manure in biogas plants is an essential part of decentralised, local energy production networks that promote rural and local bioeconomy and thereby contribute to GHG reduction.
Amendment 258 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 12
Paragraph 12
12. Stresses that technologies and practices to limit methane emissions from agriculture are developing at a fast pace; calls on the Commission to ensure that proven effective and cost-efficient innovations, supported by appropriate incentive schemes and advisory services, are quickly implemented in the EU and integrated into EU agriculture policies following a proper impact assessment;
Amendment 313 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 13
Paragraph 13
13. Underlines the key role that the EU should play in supporting research, innovation and development, as well as in scaling up new technologies to help addressreduce methane emissions from livestock agriculture, while protecting animal health and welfare; points especially to the need for multigenerational studies on feed additives;
Amendment 326 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 13 a (new)
Paragraph 13 a (new)
13a. points out that ruminants are the basis for the use and preservation of grassland, the conservation of which is of high importance in terms of climate change as a result of the CO2 captured in soil humus.
Amendment 336 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 13 b (new)
Paragraph 13 b (new)
13b. stresses that, in order to improve methane efficiency in livestock farming, it is necessary to provide additional funding for research and development in the fields of feeding, herd management, fertiliser management, breeding, animal health and grassland management.
