7 Amendments of Pilar AYUSO related to 2018/2974(RSP)
Amendment 198 #
Paragraph 18
18. Emphasises that emissions will have to be reduced close to zero in all sectors of the economy which should all contribute in the joint efforts to reduce emissions and achieve net-zero emissions by 2050; stresses the importance of the polluter pays principle in this regard;
Amendment 210 #
Paragraph 19
19. Considers that technology developments and solutions, energy efficiency in both supply and demand and sustainable renewable energy in the transport, heating and cooling, gas and power sectors will be key; underlines in this respect the importance of technology- specific strategies, such as for hydrogen or biomethane; and their associated infrastructures, and the role that efficient district heating and high efficiency cogeneration can play in keeping energy costs down;
Amendment 241 #
Paragraph 21
21. Stresses the need to implement the Energy Union and ensure further integration of the European Energy market in order to most effectively decarbonise the power sector and to facilitate investments where most renewable energy production can be effectuated; calls on the Commission and Member States to give adequate priority to building the required interconnections and infrastructures to integrate increasing quantities of renewable electricity; highlights the importance of reinforcing conventional gas infrastructures to distribute new energy carriers, such as hydrogen, synthetic methane or biomethane and the need to recognise the role of infrastructure operators;
Amendment 250 #
Paragraph 21 a (new)
21 a. Considers that the EU needs a new strategy for the transformation and competitiveness of its industry that acknowledges the role of this sector in a just transition towards a climate neutral economy by 2050; considers that this strategy should include appropriate consideration of matters such as process- related emissions, carbon leakage, heat demand, competitive low carbon energy supply, transport, carbon capture and storage/use and detailed sectorial assessments;
Amendment 255 #
Paragraph 22
22. Points out that the strategy confirms that GHG emissions from the transport sector are still on the rise, and that the Clean Mobility Package will not be sufficient to decarbonise the transport sector by 2050; stresses the need to give regulatory stability to the sector by adopting predictable EU-wide frameworks and recalls that the transport sector and the vehicle industry have a very important weight in the economy of many Member States; considers that any limitations of certain propulsion technologies should be carefully assessed and made at EU level;
Amendment 304 #
Paragraph 24
24. Supports active and sustainable forest management at national level, together with concrete means to incentivise the potential of the EU bioeconomy, given the large potential of forests to contribute to strengthening Europe's climate efforts (through sequestration, storage and substitution effects) and achieving the target of net-zero emissions by 2050; recognising the need to halt the loss of biodiversity and the degradation of ecosystems services in the EU by 2020;
Amendment 350 #
Paragraph 29
29. Stresses the importance of creating a just transition fund, especially for the most affected regions, with a general horizontal streamlining of social aspects into existing climate funding. In this regard, highlights the need for the long- term strategy to have the widest public acceptance due to the transformations needed in some sectors;
