Amendments (5)
Amendment 14 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 1 a (new)
Paragraph 1 a (new)
1 a. Emphasises the importance of a global approach instead of only focusing on reduction within the EU, since a much greater effect, could be achieved through the transfer of climate protection technologies to emerging economies, with a substantially higher cost-benefit-ratio. Modernisation and replacement of wasteful plants, infrastructure and technologies in emerging countries, would reduce methane emissions globally and by a much greater margin.
Amendment 50 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Highlights the major role of natural gas in meeting today’s global energy demand and stresses that the part it plays in the energy transition will be influenced by the extent to which methane emissions are further reduced; highlights that gas is relatively cheap and produces only about half as much carbon dioxide compared to coal combustion and is therefore of continuous importance as a transitional energy source with a gigantic potential to improve the overall global climate situation;
Amendment 69 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Welcomes the preparation of legislation for the energy sector with binding rules on monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) and leak detection and repair, and the consideration of rules on routine venting and flaring; urges however, to prevent over-information as well as unnecessary reporting, in order to limit bureaucracy and administration costs to a minimum;
Amendment 100 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Believes that research, development and innovation and the implementation of fit-for-purpose technologies and practices to improve MRV and mitigate methane emissions are at the backbone of effective action; supports the mobilisation of funding from Horizon Europe, including for establishing an international methane emissions observatory; highlights the fact that climate change can realistically only be reduced through better technological solutions as well as incentives for entrepreneurial ingenuity;
Amendment 105 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 4 a (new)
Paragraph 4 a (new)
4 a. Highlights the importance of seeking to reduce methane emissions by deploying market economy instruments rather than measures of interventionism. Without substantial economic growth in the EU, the continent will not be able to create the innovation that the EU and the world need in order to tackle climate change;
