Amendment 98 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 10 a (new)
(10a) The deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure must be underpinned by a diversified and safe energy mix, which prioritises decarbonised or low-carbon-emission solutions. In order to achieve the objectives of this directive, technological neutrality must be guaranteed and national action frameworks must take due account of the requirement to support the commercial development of alternative fuels that are of an appropriate quality and available in sufficient quantities.

Amendment 99 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 10 b (new)
When drawing up their national action frameworks, Member States should take due account of the technological maturity of existing solutions in order to determine the priority choice of alternative fuel and the relevant delivery and distribution infrastructure. This balanced approach should also be used when evaluating real market needs and analysing the cost-effectiveness of the commercial development model chosen for each alternative fuel.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 13
(13) Electric vehicles could contribute to the stability of the electricity system by recharging their batteries from the grid at times of low general electricity demand and feeding power from the batteries back into the grid at times of high general electricity demand. Therefore recharging points should usePeriods of high demand on the local electricity distribution system are likely to coincide with times when prices are low on the wholesale electricity market. Therefore recharging points should use intelligent charging systems, which regulate the power and duration of the charge, and be linked up to intelligent metering systems, and the price for electricity at a recharging point should be market based, so that flexible consumption (and storage) of electricity is promoted through dynamic pricing and signals from the electricity distribution system operator.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 14
(14) With respect to recharging points for electric vehicles which are not publicly accessible, Member States should ensure consistency and aim to maximis, by means of intelligent control systems, that they contribute to the stability of the electricity system and are economically efficient, using existing solutions and possible synergies with intelligent meter roll-out plans following the obligation under Annex I.2 of Directive 2009/72/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 concerning common rules for the internal market in electricity and repealing Directive 2003/54/EC. PMember States may choose whether or not to make publicly accessible recharging points are currently not part of the regulated activities of a distribution system operator as defined in Chapter VI of Directive 2009/72/EC.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 17
(17) Hydrogen vehicles, including hydrogen powered two-wheelers, have at present very low market penetration rates but a build-up of sufficient. Before building up sustainable hydrogen refuelling infrastructure is essential to enable larger-scale hydrogen vehicle deployment. , research and development should be encouraged in an effort to ensure that hydrogen is a cost-effective alternative fuel in sufficient supply for a sufficient number of hydrogen-powered vehicles.

Amendment 125 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 18
(18) Member States should ensure that publicly accessible infrastructure for the supply of hydrogen to motor vehicles is built up, with distances between refuelling points for motor vehicles allowing area covering circulation of hydrogen vehicles within the national territory, as well as a certain number of refuelling points located in urban agglomerations. This would allow hydrogen vehicles to circulate Union-wide.deleted

Recital 20
(20) Member States should ensure that publicly accessible infrastructure for the supply of gaseous Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) to motor vehicles is built up, with distances between refuelling points allowing area covering circulation of CNG vehicles across the Union, as well as a certain number of refuelling points located in urban agglomerations, in close cooperation with regional and local authorities and the sector concerned, and depending on technical feasibility and cost-effectiveness, that sufficient and publicly accessible infrastructure for the supply of gaseous Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) to motor vehicles is built up.

Amendment 135 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 21
(21) Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is an attractive fuel alternative for vessels to meet the requirements for decreasing the sulphur content in maritime fuels in the Sulphur Emission Control Areas, affecting half of the ships sailing in European Short Sea Shipping, as provided for by Directive 2012/33/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 November 2012 amending Council Directive 1999/32/EC as regards the sulphur content of marine fuels. A core network of LNG refuelling points for maritime and inland waterway vessels should be available at least by the end of 202030. LNG should be used alongside other fuels, such as low-sulphur-content distillates or fuels with a high sulphur content used by vessels equipped with a scrubber, in an effort to ensure that the aforementioned requirements are met. The initial focus on the core network should not rule out that in the longer perspective LNG is also made available at ports outside the core network, in particular those ports that are important for vessels not engaged in transport operations (fishing vessels, offshore service vessels etc.).
