22 Amendments of Sirpa PIETIKÄINEN related to 2016/0382(COD)

Amendment 119 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 10 a (new)
(10a) The promotion of energy from renewable resources should aim to achieve the utmost resource efficiency, in line with the principles of circular economy and cascading use, in particular with respect to forest and agricultural biomass. Generation of waste should be minimised following the waste hierarchy established in Directive 2008/98/EC.

Amendment 131 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 16
(16) Electricity generation from renewable sources should be deployed atwith the lowbest possible cost-efficiency for consumers and taxpayers. When designing support schemes and when allocating support, Member States should seek to minimise the overall system cost of deployment, taking full account of grid and system development needs, including the development of high-voltage, electric power transmission systems, the resulting energy mix, and the long term potential of technologies.

Amendment 134 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 16 a (new)
(16a) The planning of such infrastructure needed for electricity generation from renewable sources should pay due respect to policies related to the participation of those affected by the projects, including any indigenous populations, and paying due respect to their land rights.

Amendment 135 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 16 b (new)
(16b) Consumers should be provided with comprehensive information, including information on the energy efficiency gains of heating/cooling systems and lower running costs of electric vehicles, to allow them to make individual consumer choices with regards to renewable energies and avoid technological lock-in.

Amendment 163 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 49 a (new)
(49a) Other innovative measures to attract more investment into new technologies, such as Energy Performance Contracts and standardisation processes in public financing should also be considered.

Amendment 263 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 77
(77) In order to minimise the administrative burden, the Union sustainability and greenhouse gas saving criteria should apply only to electricity and heating from biomass fuels produced in installations with a fuel capacity equal or above to 205 MW.

Amendment 417 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 4 – paragraph 4 a (new)
4a. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, Member States shall ensure that no financial support is provided for energy extraction from mixed incineration of municipal solid waste by 2021.

Amendment 454 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 7 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 4
For the calculation of a Member State’s gross final consumption of energy from renewable energy sources, the contribution from biofuels and bioliquids, as well as from biomass fuels consumed in transport, if produced from food or feed crops, shall be no more than 7% of final consumption of energy in road and rail transport in that Member State. This limit shall be reduced to 3,80% in 2030 following the trajectory set out in part A of Annex X. Member States may set a lower limit and may distinguish between different types of biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels produced from food and feed crops, for instance by setting a lower limit for the contribution from food or feed crop based biofuels produced from oil crops, taking into account indirect land use change.

Amendment 525 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 23 – paragraph 2 a (new)
2a. By means of best available techniques (BAT) and of an overall cap for the share of solid biomass in heating installations, Member States shall ensure that total emissions of PM 2,5 addressed by Directive 2016/2284/EU decrease by at least 49 percent, in the domestic heating sector within the EU (by 2030, compared to 2005).

Amendment 638 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 25 – paragraph 3 – subparagraph 1
3. To determine the share of renewable electricity for the purposes of paragraph 1 either the average share of electricity from renewable energy sources in the Union or the share of electricity from renewable energy sources in the Member State where the electricity is supplied, as measured two years before the year in question mayshall be used. In both cases, aAn equivalent amount of guarantees of origin issued in accordance with Article 19 shall be cancelled. However, electricity obtained from a direct connection to an installation generating electricity exclusively from renewable energy that is not connected to the grid may be fully counted as renewable electricity.

Amendment 645 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 25 – paragraph 3 – subparagraph 3 – point a – subparagraph 1
(a) When electricity is used for the production of renewable liquid and gaseous transport fuels of non-biological origin, either directly or for the production of intermediate products, either the average share of electricity from renewable energy sources in the Union or the share of electricity from renewable energy sources in the country of production, as measured two years before the year in question, may be used to determine the share of renewable energy. In both cases, aAn equivalent amount of guarantees of origin issued in accordance with Article 19 shall be cancelled.

Amendment 654 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 25 – paragraph 3 – subparagraph 3 – point a – subparagraph 2
However, electricity obtained from direct connection to an installation generating renewable electricity exclusively from renewable energy (i) that comes into operation after or at the same time as the installation producing the renewable liquid and gaseous transport fuel of non- biological origin and (ii) is not connected to the grid, can be fully counted as renewable electricity for the production of that renewable liquid and gaseous transport fuel of non-biological origin.

Amendment 670 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 25 – paragraph 6
6. The Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 32 to further specify the methodology referred to in paragraph 3(b) of this Article to determine the share of biofuel resulting from biomass being processed with fossil fuels in a common process, to specify the methodology for assessing greenhouse gas emission savings from renewable liquid and gaseous transport fuels of non-biological origin and waste-based fossil fuels and to determine minimum greenhouse gas emission savings and to specific additional sustainability criteria required for these fuels for the purpose of paragraph 1 of this Article.

Amendment 706 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 26 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 3
Biomass fuels shall have to fulfil the sustainability and greenhouse gas emissions saving criteria set out in paragraphs 2 to 7 only if used in installations producing electricity, heating and cooling or fuels with a fuel capacity equal to or exceeding 205 MW in case of solid biomass fuels and with an electrical capacity equal to or exceeding 0.5 MW in case of gaseous biomass fuels. Member States may apply the sustainability and greenhouse gas emission saving criteria to installations with lower fuel capacity.
