(24a) The EU ETS should as much as possible avoid undue exemptions and distortive measures. Municipal waste incineration is an important source of greenhouse gas emissions and should be included under the EU ETS. The inclusion would encourage waste prevention and recycling and contribute to the economy-wide decarbonisation. Since recycling and regeneration activities are already covered by the EU ETS, the inclusion would reinforce incentives for sustainable management of waste in line with the waste hierarchy. It would complement other elements of EU waste legislation. Moreover, integrating waste incineration into the EU ETS would create a level playing field between the regions that have included municipal waste incineration under the scope, reducing the risk of tax competition between regions.

(32a) In order to achieve climate neutrality by 2050 at the latest as laid down in Regulation (EU) 2021/1119, the EU needs to close a significant investment gap as provided in the Communication 'Strategy for Financing the Transition to a Sustainable Economy'1a. To reach our decarbonisation objective, breakthrough innovation, upscaling of already existing relevant technologies and certified natural carbon removals are needed. To support the in-depth and economy-wide decarbonation in the EU all these three pillars should be addressed by the Innovation Fund, which should be renamed as the Net-Zero fund. _________________ 1aCOM(2021)390 final, Communication 'Strategy for Financing the Transition to a Sustainable Economy'

(42) The exclusion of installations using exclusively biomass from the EU ETS has led to situations where co-firing installations combusting a high share of biomass with fossil fuels have obtained windfall profits by receiving free allowances greatly exceeding actual emissions. Therefore, a threshold value for zero-rated biomass combustion should be introduced above which installations are excluded from the EU ETS. The threshold value of 95 % is in line with the uncertainty parameter set out in Article 2(16) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/33156 . _________________ 56 Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/331 of 19 December 2018 determining transitional Union-wide rules for harmonised free allocation of emission allowances pursuant to Article 10a of Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 59, 27.2.2019, p. 8).

They shall specify how to account for storage of emissions from a mix of zero-rated sources and sources that are not zero-rognized emission factors for solid biomass and biofuels for stationary combustion in the energy industries ensuring these are applied in full to all biomass and biofuels emissions by the year 2026 at the latedst. They shall also specify how to account for emissions from renewable fuels of non- biological origin and recycled carbon fuels, ensuring that these emissions are accounted for and that double counting is avoided.”;
