OPINION on deployment of infrastructure for alternative fuels in the European Union: Time to act!
Amendments (11)
Amendment 1 #
Draft opinion
Recital A
Recital A
A. whereas Member States have adopted their national policy frameworks, which were assessed by the Commission in its recent communication COM(2017)0652, noting that only 8 out of 25 Member States fully meet the NPF requirements set out in Directive 2014/94/EU, and that 2 Member States failed to submit their NPF by 16 November 2016 as provided for in article 3 of Directive2014/94/EU;

Recital A a (new)
Aa. whereas the transport sector is Europe’s main source of carbon emissions and the only sector in which emissions are still rising;
Amendment 5 #
Draft opinion
Recital A b (new)
Recital A b (new)
Ab. whereas further coordination at EU level is needed in order to ensure the deployment of an adequate infrastructure network for alternative fuels in view of the full decarbonisation of the transport sector by 2050;
Amendment 11 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 1
Paragraph 1
1. Underlines that although currently more than 65 % of battery electric vehicles and plug- in hybrid electric vehicles are produced outside the Union and new mobility will lead to a shift in skills, it is crucial to ensure the momentum to boost our industry and create new jobs in Europe; underlines the potential of battery and raw materials recycling not at least in the context of the circular economy and sustainable sourcing strategies; calls on the Member States to accelerate the uptake of research related to electro-mobility by making full use of EU funds; calls, therefore, for adequate and ambitious EU funding under the next multiannual financial framework to address potential gaps;
Amendment 18 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 1 a (new)
Paragraph 1 a (new)
1a. Notes that the availability and accessibility of private and public charging and refuelling infrastructures are crucial for increasing the consumer acceptance towards all alternative fuels vehicles; believes that priority should be given to the most emission neutral solutions seen from a full vehicle life- cycle perspective;
Amendment 20 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 1 b (new)
Paragraph 1 b (new)
1b. Urges the EU to decarbonise the transport sector and to meet its targets of a 14 % share of renewable energy in transport by 2030 through the development of sustainability criteria for fuels, based on life-cycle emissions that take into account i.e. the impact of production, as well as the upstream emissions from electricity and manufacturing processes and their impacts on water demand, land use, the environment and the wider community. Additionally, calls on the Commission to come forward with ambitious collection and recycling targets for automotive and industrial batteries and strengthen collection and recycling systems during the upcoming revision of Directive 2006/66/EC on batteries and accumulators and waste batteries and accumulators. This is to ensure that the value of critical raw materials used in automotive and industrial batteries is kept within the economy, in line with the circular economy principles. The Commission should also come forward with a ‘Green batteries’ label for automotive and industrial batteries with 100% renewable energy based production that possess high power and high energy density, fast charging rates, low environmental impact and high recyclability.
Amendment 29 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Calls on transmission system operators and distribution system operatorsDemands that any additional electricity for E-mobility must be renewables-based in order to bring about the necessary emission reductions in the transport sector. Trusts on the electricity market design reform to set the correct regulatory framework to ensure thegrid stability of local grids and to mitigate a future, to set the right signals to avoid energy consumption peaks and thus a de facto potential increase in energy prices; stresses, therefore, the crucial need to develop ando ensure affordable energy prices as well as security of supply; underlines the importance of investing in smart charging technologies, including smart grids; underlines that although smart charging will go hand in hand with, not at least to further enable self- consumption, demand response and active consumers, security of supply is essential;
Amendment 35 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Stresses the importance of ensuring fair access for electricity providers toto develop, operate and fuel recharging points for all actors in order to avoid a monopoly situations; calls on the Commission to promote open access for all relevant actors to the market to ensure that consumers have a free choice of energy suppliers and energy sources;technologies; Underlines the need for comprehensive private and shared public charging infrastructure allowing charging of electric vehicles and bikes at home and in the workplace, taking into account the need for both public and private investments to achieve sufficient coverage as well as the minimum provisions outlined in the revision of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive "1a" ; __________________ 1a OJ L 153, 18.6.2010, p. 13.
Amendment 42 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 3 a (new)
Paragraph 3 a (new)
3a. Underlines the importance of sustainable urban planning, shifting from private use to shared and public use of transport, and of investing in the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure in public transport services;
Amendment 44 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Underlines that although digital opportunities will arise from further developments in electro-mobility such as smart grids, e-payment or connectivity with other associated services, new challenges will result from smart charging and data exchange, such as data protection, interoperability of systems, future-proof systems or free flow of data;
Amendment 47 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 5 a (new)
Paragraph 5 a (new)
5a. Regrets that fuels of fossil origin, such as natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas, are still considered as alternative fuels under Directive 2014/94/EU, thus undermining the Union’s objective of decarbonising the transport sector by the mid-century; Calls on the Commission to come forward with sustainability criteria for hydrogen and synthetic fuels, based on lifecycle emissions that take into account the upstream emissions of electricity production required for all production processes and their impact on water demand and land use;
