Amendment 68 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital C
Recital C
C. whereas every tonne of fossil CO2 that is not emitted or is or will be sustainably stored in cycles is the best contribution to achieving climate targets; whereas storing CO2 from the atmosphere or other cycles should be used as one among many methods for achieving climate targetsavoiding the worst effects of climate change will rely first and foremost on preventing as much greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as possible from reaching the atmosphere, including with technologies such as carbon capture and storage (CCS) where other mitigation options are not feasible, and additionally on removing carbon dioxide already in the atmosphere, through technologies such as carbon dioxide removal;
Amendment 80 #
Motion for a resolution

Motion for a resolution
Recital E d (new)
Recital E d (new)
Ed. whereas Carbon Contracts for Difference (CCfDs) can be an important mechanism to support the development of decarbonisation technologies such as CCS and optimise the use of available resources; whereas CCfDs help to provide certainty and boost investment in CCS by guaranteeing that a public counterpart would support the eventual difference between the agreed long-term cost of a technology and the fluctuating ETS price;
Amendment 115 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital E e (new)
Recital E e (new)
Ee. whereas short-cycle removal, based on terrestrial sinks, and long-cycle removal, based on geological storage, have different storage timescale, going from decades to centuries for terrestrial sinks and from millennia to millions of years for geological storage; whereas short-cycle removal and long-cycle removal also have different risks of reversal or leakage, costs and deployment timeframes;
Amendment 173 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Emphasises that sustainable food production and the availability of renewable raw materials remain the primary objective of agriculture and forestry; underlines that both sectors are themselves being massively affected by climate change; emphasises that farmers and foresters have a self-interest in combatting climate change, considering the negative effects of climate change for their production and the co-benefits that reducing emissions can have for their business model;

Paragraph 8 a (new)
Amendment 234 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 8 b (new)
Paragraph 8 b (new)
8b. Underlines the general principle that beneficiaries of payments relating to carbon removals should be accountable for their GHG emitted.
Amendment 309 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 12
Paragraph 12
12. Stresses that carbon farming must be regulated in line with the currenttaking into account the CAP and be seen as a complementary and additional topping-up option; underlines, however, that in the longer term market- based carbon farming should be market-based; not compensate possible failures of the CAP1a; _________________ 1a European Court of Auditors, special report 16/2021: Common Agricultural Policy and climate: Half of EU climate spending but farm emissions are not decreasing.
Amendment 339 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 13
Paragraph 13
13. Considers that carbon capture and storage (CCS) and carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) can play a crucial role as future technologies for achieving climate neutrality in Europe and for creating a successful decarbonised economy in Europe; underlines that the setting of minimum CCS and CCU targets and requirements could, if applicable under national legislation, significantly speed up the decarbonisation of Europe's industrial sector;
Amendment 353 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 14
Paragraph 14
14. Underlines that CCS is not allowed in all Member States; stresses thatcalls on the Commission hand the Member States to sufficiently document the long-term effect of CCS in regions with deep soil and support experimental projects to obtain more data on thigeological storage capacity and support research to obtain more data on this; points out however that sufficient data is already available to start the deployment of CCS technologies;
Amendment 366 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 14 a (new)
Paragraph 14 a (new)
14a. Welcomes carbon capture technologies for industrial CO2 emissions that are more environmentally friendly and have lower energy demand than current technologies;
Amendment 370 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 14 b (new)
Paragraph 14 b (new)
14b. Calls on the Commission to adopt a Strategy on carbon capture and storage by the end 2023 at the latest, with a detailed plan and targets for the deployment of CCS in Europe, matching the EU´s long term climate target to be climate neutral by 2050 at the latest;

Amendment 379 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 15
Paragraph 15
15. Underlines that the new certification framework for carbon farmingremovals should be as simple as possible in its design and not result inavoid disproportionate administrative burdens for land and forestry managers and owner, while at the same time applying rigorous monitoring, reporting and verification to ensure real and permanent removals; emphasises that the future Union certification framework will need toshould take into account already existing best practices in national initiatives with the same objective;
Amendment 412 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 16
Paragraph 16
16. Emphasises the need to develop a robust new framework for the quantification and certification of carbon removals that must be science-based and at the same time avoid greenwashing and carbon leakage; underlines the need to promote high- quality carbon certificates that can ensure the achievement of the criteria of additionality, permanence, no double counting and authenticity in order to incentivise permanent net removals and improved land management practices, thus resulting in enhanced carbon capture;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 16 a (new)
Paragraph 16 a (new)
16a. Stresses that the upcoming legislation on the certification of carbon removals should include a set of common minimum standards for all methods of CDR, ensuring the criteria of additionality, permanence, and avoidance of double accounting and leakage, but the certification mechanism should also include a set of comprehensive and distinct criteria and methodologies for each recognised method of CDR;

Paragraph 16 b (new)
16b. Calls on the Commission to include in its proposal for the certification of carbon removals a clear differentiation between short-cycle removal, based on terrestrial sinks, and long-term removal, based on geological sinks; stresses that there should be no possibility for exchange or equivalence between the certificates for short-cycle removal and the ones for long-cycle removal;
Amendment 446 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 17
Paragraph 17
17. Stresses that carbon farming should be market-based and financed by public and/or private funds and that the 'do no significant harm' principle and the environmental integrity of actions should be observed at all times; calls on the Commission to create a genuinely new business model for farmers and foresters; notes that financing from the value chain or through the creation of a voluntary carbon market is possible; stresses that the CAP is not a viable source of funding, as the CAP is not a business model;
