(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 solid fossil fuels. A technology neutral approach should be applied in order to achieve the most cost-effective emission reductions. In addition, the percentage of the Modernisation Fund that needs to be devoted to priority investments should be increased to 80 %; 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.

(13) Greenhouse gases that are not directly released into the atmosphere should not be considered emissions under the EU ETS and allowances should be surrendered for those emissions unless they are stored in a storage site in accordance with Directive 2009/31/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council46 , or they are permanently chemically bound in a product so that they do not enter the atmosphere under normal use. The Commission should be empowered to adopt implementingdelegated acts specifying the conditions where greenhouse gases are to be considered as permanently chemically bound in a product so that they do not enter the atmosphere under normal use, including obtaining a carbon removal certificate, where appropriate, in view of regulatory developments with regard to the certification of carbon removals. _________________ 46Directive 2009/31/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 on the geological storage of carbon dioxide and amending Council Directive 85/337/EEC, European Parliament and Council Directives 2000/60/EC, 2001/80/EC, 2004/35/EC, 2006/12/EC, 2008/1/EC and Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 (OJ L 140, 5.6.2009, p. 114). or they are captured and used to produce recycled carbon fuels and renewable liquid and gaseous fuels of non-biological origin. The Commission should be empowered to adopt delegated acts specifying the framework conditions under which greenhouse gases transferred for further use should be accounted for at the point of release into the atmosphere. For any other transfer of CO2 out of the installation, no subtraction of CO2 from the installation's emissions should be allowed unless the CO2 is transferred to and used by another installation that stored CO2 in a product permanently so that the CO2 is not released into the atmosphere46a. _________________ 46aJudgement ECJ, Case C 460/15, 19.12017 Schaefer Kalk GmbH & Co.

For this purpose, the Commission shall every year, from 2031 to 2035, present to the European Parliament and the Council a report pursuant to Regulation [CBAM] regarding the effectiveness of the CBAM. The report shall also include the selected option to address the carbon leakage risk on export markets. The reports by the Commission should assess and report on the entry into force of the CBAM and its effectiveness during the preceding year, namely whether it ensured an equivalent level of carbon leakage protection. Where the assessment is positive, the allowances in the reserve from the preceding year should automatically be auctioned and the revenues should accrue to the Innovation Fund. Where the assessment is negative, the allowances in the reserve from the preceding year should automatically be released back to industry to fill the carbon leakage protection gap. This should limit any possible gaps in carbon leakage protection should they arise.

Member States shouldall adopt financial measures in accordance with the second and fourth subparagraphs in favour of sectors or subsectors which are exposed to a genuine risk of carbon leakage due to significant indirect costs that are actually incurred from greenhouse gas emission costs passed on in electricity prices, provided that such financial measures are in accordance with State aid rules, and in particular do not cause undue distortions of competition in the internal market. The financial measures adopted should not compensate indirect costs covered by free allocation in accordance with the benchmarks established pursuant to paragraph 1. Where a Member State spends an amount higher than the equivalent of 25 % of their auction revenues of the year in which the indirect costs were incurred, it shall set out the reasons for exceeding that amount.;

Each list shall include information on production activity, transfers of heat and gases, electricity production and emissions at sub- installation level over the five calendar years preceding its submission. Free allocations shall only be given to installations where such information is provided. ” Or. en (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A02003L0087- 20210101&q)

Article 12 – paragraph 3 b – subparagraph 1
An obligation to surrender allowances shall not arise in respect of emissions of greenhouse gases which are considered to have been captured and stored or utilised to become permanently chemically bound in a product so that they do not enter the atmosphere under normal use. Where recycled carbon fuels and renewable liquid and gaseous fuels of non-biological origin are produced from captured CO2 within an EU ETS installation, the emission should not be accounted for under the activity where the CO2 is not emitted into the atmosphere. In this regard, the Commission shall review Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2066 as to incentivize the capture of CO2 from process emissions.

Only financial intermediaries purchasing allowances for the account of the installation and not their own can be an exception. 3. Article 6(5) of Commission Regulation (EU) No 1031/2010 should be adjusted in accordance with paragraphs 1 and 2.
