Recital 24
(24) To ensure that a greater role of district heating and cooling is accompanied by better information for consumers, it is appropriate to clarify and strengthen the disclosure of the renewables share and energy efficiency of these systems. Nevertheless, the renewables share in district heating and cooling, for heating and air conditioning, for example, must not be used as a pretext to justify an increase in energy costs that could affect households and businesses with the lowest income.

(30) Electromobility will play an essential role in decarbonising the transport sector. To foster the further development of electromobility, Member States should establish a credit mechanism enabling operators of charging points accessible to the public to contribute, by supplying renewable electricity and hydrogen generated by electrolysis, towards the fulfilment of the obligation set up by Member States on fuel suppliers. While supporting electricity and ‘green’ hydrogen in transport through such a mechanism, it is important that Member States continue setting a high level of ambition for the decarbonisation of their liquid fuel mix in transport.
Amendment 118 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 33
Recital 33
(33) Direct electrification of end-use sectors, including the transport sector, contributes to the efficiency and facilitates the transition to an energy system based on renewable energy. It is therefore in itself an effective means to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The creation of a framework on additionality applying specifically to renewable electricity and to ‘green’ hydrogen generated by electrolysis supplied to electric vehicles in the transport sector is therefore not required.

(40) The scope of Directive 98/70/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council17 should be amended in order to avoid a duplication of regulatory requirements with regard to transport fuel decarbonisation objectives and align with Directive (EU) 2018/2001. It is also important to encourage research and innovation in the field of clean energies, such as hydrogen, in order to meet the growing demand for alternative fuels and, above all, to make available on the market energy that is cheaper than fossil fuels like diesel, fuel oil and petrol, for which prices are now hitting record highs. __________________ 17 Directive 98/70/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 1998 relating to the quality of petrol and diesel fuels and amending Council Directive 93/12/EEC (OJ L 350, 28.12.1998, p. 58).
