Proposal for a directive
Recital 30
Recital 30
(30) The costs of connecting new producers of electricity from renewable energy sources to the electricity grid should be objective, transparent and non- discriminatory and due account should be taken of the benefit embedded generators bring to the grid. The costs of connecting new producers of gas from RES to the gas network should be objective, transparent and non discriminatory
Amendment 126 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 2 – point (b)
Article 2 – point (b)
(b) "biomass" means the biodegradable fraction of products, waste and residues from agriculture (including vegetal and animal substances), forestry and related industries, as well as the biodegradable fraction of industrial and municipal waste; and the fraction that can be converted to gas through high temperature processing
Amendment 183 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 14 a (new)
Article 14 a (new)
Article 14a 1. Member States shall take the necessary steps to develop gas network infrastructure to accommodate the further development of gas from renewable energy sources, including interconnectors between Member Sates. 2. Without prejudice to the reliability of safety of the gas network, National Authorities shall guarantee the intake and distribution of the gas produced from RES, with access priority. 3. Member States shall require National gas network Authorities to publish their standard rules relating to the investments for the necessary technical adaptation. 4.Member States shall ensure that the charging of transport and distribution fees does not discriminate against gas produced from RES and that these reflect possible cost benefits resulting from the plants connection to the gas network.

Recital 47
(47) The requirements for a sustainability scheme for energyEncouragement should be given to effective, sustainable uses of biomass, other than bioliquids and biofuels, should be analysed bbtained from forestry and farming residues and urban solid waste; energy crops should be planted only twhe Commission by 2010, taking into account the need for biomass resources to be managed in a sustainable mannerre analysis has shown the use of arable land for energy purposes to be compatible with its use for food purposes.

Article 2 – point b
Article 2 – point b
(b) “biomass” means the biodegradable fraction of products, waste and residues from agriculture (including vegetal and animal substances), forestry and related industries, as well as the biodegradable fraction of industrial and municipal waste and the fraction convertible into gas by means of a high-temperature process;
Amendment 1084 #
Proposal for a directive
Annex VII – Part C – paragraph 1
Annex VII – Part C – paragraph 1
1. Greenhouse gas emissions from the production and use of transport fuels, biofuels and other bioliquids shall be calculated as: E = eec + el + eiluc + ep + etd + eu – eccs - eccr – eee, where E = total emissions from the use of the fuel; eec = emissions from the extraction or cultivation of raw materials; el = annualised emissions from carbon stock changes caused by land use change; eiluc = risk coefficient of specific biofuel crops produced in specific regions ep = emissions from processing; etd = emissions from transport and distribution; eu = emissions from the fuel in use; eccs = emission savings from carbon capture and sequestration; eccr = emission savings from carbon capture and replacement; and eee = emission savings from excess electricity from cogeneration. Emissions from the manufacture of machinery and equipment shall not be taken into account.
Amendment 1088 #
Proposal for a directive
Annex VII – Part C – paragraph 2
Annex VII – Part C – paragraph 2
2. Greenhouse gas emissions from fuels, E, shall be expressed in terms of grams of CO2 equivalent per MJ of fuel, gCO2eq/MJ. The value for eiluc will be 40 gCO2eq/MJ for all biofuels produced from raw materials grown on agricultural land. This value will be subject to regular reviews based on the latest scientific data.
