Amendment 236 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 24 a (new)
(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.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 26
(26) Achieving the Union’s emissions reduction target for 2030 while at the same time pursuing the goal of the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to 1,5 degrees will require a significant reduction in the emissions of the sectors covered by the EU ETS of 61 % compared to 2005. The Union-wide quantity of allowances of the EU ETS needs to be reduced progressively to create the necessary long-term carbon price signal and drive for this degree of decarbonisation. To this end, the linearannual reduction factor should be increased, also taking into account the inclusion of emissions from maritime transport. The latter should be derived from the emissions from maritime transport activities reported in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2015/757 for 2018 and 2019 in the Union, adjusted, from year 2021, by the linear reduction factor.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 27
(27) Bearing in mind that this Directive amends Directive 2003/87/EC in respect of a period of implementation that has already started on 1 January 2021, for reasons of predictability, environmental effectiveness and simplicity, the steeper linear reduction pathway of the EU ETS should be a straight line from 2021 to 2030, such as to achieve emission reductions in the EU ETS of 61 % by 2030, as the appropriate intermediate stepprovide a clear direction towards Union economy- wide climate neutrality in 2050 at the latest. As the increased linear reduction factor can only apply from the year following the entry into force of this Directive, a one-off reduction of the quantity of allowances should reduce the total quantity of allowances so that it is in line with this level of annual reduction having been made from 2021 onwardse average emissions of the previous three years, adjusted, from the mid-point of this period, by the linear reduction factor.

Amendment 265 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 28
(28) Achieving the increased climate ambition will require substantial public resources in the EU as well as national budgets to be dedicated to the climate transition. To complement and reinforce the substantial climate-related spending in the EU budget, all auction revenues that are not attributed to the Union budget should be used for climate-related purposes. This includes the use for financial support to address social aspects in lower- and middle-income households by reducing distortive taxes. Further, to address distributional and social effects of the transition in low-income Member Statessupport the transition to innovative decarbonised technologies and processes, and to the upscaling of relevant technologies across the Union in a way that contributes to mitigating climate change in line with the objectives set out in Regulation (EU) 2021/1119, an additional amount of 2,5 % of the Union- wide quantity of allowances from [year of entry into force of the Directive] to 2030 should be used to fund the energy transition of the Member States with a gross domestic product (GDP) per capita below 65 % of the Union average in 2016-2018, through the Modernisation Fund referred to in Article 10d of Directive 2003/87/ECfor the Innovation Fund, to be renamed the Net-Zero Fund.

Amendment 305 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 30
(30) The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), established under Regulation (EU) […./..] of the European Parliament and of the Council51 , is an alternative to free allocation to address the risk of carbon leakage. 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. This transition should be predictable to enable industry investment. Free allowances should be phased out swiftly in alignment with the introduction of CBAM. The reduction of free allocation should be implemented 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] 51

Amendment 348 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 33
(33) The scope of the Innovation Fund referred to in Article 10a(8) of Directive 2003/87/EC should be extended to support both innovation projects and measures that implement and scale up innovative technologies that contribute significantly to decarbonisation in line with the Union´s climate targets. To reflect this, the Fund should be renamed "Net-Zero Fund". The Fund should 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 renewables, as well as zero-emission propulsion technologies like wind technologies. Considering that revenues generated from penalties raised in Regulation xxxx/xxxx [FuelEU Maritime]52 are allocated to the InnovationNet-Zero 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 InnovationNet-Zero 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 InnovationNet-Zero Fund. _________________ 52[add ref to the FuelEU Maritime Regulation].

Amendment 362 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 35
(35) Carbon Contracts for Difference (CCDs) are an important element to trigger emission reductions in industry, offering the opportunity to guarantee investors in innovative climate-friendly technologies a price that rewards CO2 emission reductions above those induced by the current price levels in the EU ETS. The range of measures that the InnovationNet-Zero Fund can support should be extended to provide support to projects through price- competitive tendering, such as CCDs. The Commission should be empowered to adopt delegated acts on the precise rules for this type of support. When implementing the CCDs, it should be ensured that they are compliant with state aid and world trade rules, and compatible with the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, and that they are designed in a way that does not distort the EU ETS market. It is crucial that they are based on market principles and transparency.

Recital 38
(38) The scope of the Modernisation Fund should be aligned with the most recent climate objectives of the Union by requiring that investments are consistent with the objectives of the European Green Deal and Regulation (EU) 2021/1119, and eliminating the support to any investments related to fossil fuels. In addition, the percentage of the Modernisation Fund that needs to be devoted to priority investments should be increased to 8100 %; energy efficiency should be targeted as a priority area at the demand side; and support of households to address energy poverty, including in rural and remote areas, should be included within the scope of the priority investments.

Amendment 636 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 67 a (new)
(67a) In line with Regulation (EU) 2021/1119, highest priority should be given to direct emissions reductions, which will have to be complemented by increased CO2 removals in order to achieve climate neutrality. Therefore, a future revision of the EU ETS and of the overall EU climate policy framework should also analyse how negative emissions could be included in emissions trading, including a clear scope and strict criteria and safeguards to ensure that such removals are not merely offsetting necessary emissions reductions but are genuine and permanent.

Amendment 638 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 67 b (new)
(67b) The success of the European carbon market is critical from a global perspective, as it will encourage more countries to introduce market driven carbon pricing. The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism will extend carbon pricing to imported products sold on the EU market, but the EU should at the same time engage in international cooperation for the introduction of carbon pricing mechanisms. The Commission should further analyse how linkages with other carbon markets could be established while ensuring the achievement of the EU´s own economy-wide climate target. The Commission should actively pursue the establishment of an international “Carbon club” for ensuring continuous exchange in good faith with the EU’s trade partners. Its objective should be to allow for the comparison and coordination of carbon pricing measures as well as non-carbon pricing measures with an impact on emission reduction. The Carbon club should also support the comparability of climate measures by ensuring the quality of climate monitoring, reporting and verification among its members. Membership of the club should be informal, open and on a voluntary basis for countries aiming at high climate ambition in line with the Paris Agreement.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 67 c (new)
(67c) In addition to effective carbon pricing based on a well-function emission trading system, market transparency is of key importance for enabling swift and cost-efficient emissions reductions in all sectors of the economy. To allow consumers and all actors along the supply chain to make informed choices concerning the emission embedded in products, a European system for robust carbon footprint labelling of products should be developed.

Article 10a – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 2a
IBy January 2025, economic operators in sectors or sub-sectors eligible for free allocation of emissions allowances pursuant to Article 10a and 10b shall establish industrial decarbonisation plans. These plans shall be carried out at company level and cover measures and related investments for each installation owned by the company. The decarbonisation plans shall be consistent with the objective to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 at the latest as laid down in Regulation (EU) 2021/1119. The plan shall be consistent with any sectoral roadmaps prepared in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation (EU) 2021/1119. The industrial decarbonization plan shall include: (a) targets and milestones set by the operator to reach, at company level, the necessary emissions reductions to Union climate objectives laid down in Regulation (EU) 2021/1119; (b) measures and related financial and investments plans for each installation owned by the company, in particular identifying installations that will be replaced by new low-carbon technologies, modernised, retrofitted or closed; (c) an explanation of how the measures and related investments referred to in point (b) will reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to reach the targets and milestones referred to in point (a); (e) a description of the progress made towards achieving these targets. The attainment of the targets and milestones referred to in point (a) of the previous subparagraph shall be verified by 31 December 2025 and by 31 December every year thereafter, in accordance with the verification and accreditation procedures provided for in Article 15. If the targets and milestones set in accordance with point (a) are not achieved: (a) The installations that are amongst the 10 % least efficient installations in a sector or subsector in the Union shall no longer receive free allocation; (b) For installations that are more efficient than the 10 % least efficient installations but worse than the 60 % most efficient installations in a sector or subsector in the Union, free allowances shall be reduced by 50 %; (c) For installations falling outside of the two categories described above, free allocations shall be reduced by 25 %. Any allowances that are not allocated due to a reduction of free allocation in accordance with the rules laid down above shall be transferred in the Net-Zero Fund. In case a company has not established an industrial decarbonisation plan, it shall no longer receive free allocation. Furthermore, in the case of installations covered by the obligation to conduct an energy audit or have a certified energy management system under Article 8(4) of Directive 2012/27/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council(*) [Article reference to be updated with the revised Directive], free allocation shall only be granted fully if a certified energy management system can be proven or the recommendations of the audit report are implemented, to the extent that the pay- back time for the relevant investments does not exceed fiveeight years and that the costs of those investments are proportionate. Otherwise, the amount of free allocation shall be reduced by 250 %. The amount of free allocation shall not be reduced if an operator demonstrates that it has implemented other measures which lead to greenhouse gas emission reductions equivalent to those recommended by the audit report. The measures referred to in the first subparagraph shall be adjusted accordingly.
