Recital 27
(27) Member States should be encouraged to pursue all appropriate forms of cooperation in relation to the objectives set out in this Directive. Such cooperation can take place at all levels, bilaterally or multilaterally. Apart from the mechanisms with effect on target renewable energy share calculation and target compliance, which are exclusively provided for in this Directive, namely statistical transfers between Member States, joint projects and joint support schemes, cooperation should also take place within the framework of macro-regional partnership as established by Regulation [Governance] and can also take the form of, for example, exchanges of information and best practices, as provided for, in particular, in the e-platform established by Regulation [Governance], and other voluntary coordination between all types of support schemes. The European Commission's Trans-European Networks for Energy (TEN-E) strategy should support the objectives of this Directive and set out additional incentives for cross-border cooperation as well as regional cooperation between Member States in the area of renewable energy.

Recital 57
(57) Several Member States have implemented measures in the heating and cooling sector to reach their 2020 renewable energy target. However, in the absence of binding national targets post- 2020, the remaining national incentives may not be sufficient to reach the long- term decarbonisation goals for 2030 and 2050. In order to be in line with such goals, reinforce investor certainty and foster the development of a Union-wide renewable heating and cooling market, while respecting the energy efficiency first principle, it is appropriate to encourage the effort of Member States in the supply of renewable heating and cooling to contribute to the progressive increase of the share of renewable energy. Given the fragmented nature of some heating and cooling markets, it is of utmost importance to ensure flexibility in designing such an effort. It is also important to ensure that a potential uptake of renewable heating and cooling does not have detrimental environmental side-effects. To that end, the sustainability criteria for biomass have to ensure a high level of sustainable sourcing of biomass, including the consideration of the cascading use principle for biomass feedstock and have to guarantee a high efficiency of plants using biomass for heating.

Recital 64
(64) Advanced biofuels and other biofuels and biogas produced from feedstock listed in Annex IX, renewable liquid and gaseous transport fuels of non- biological origin, and renewable electricity in transport can contribute to low carbon emissions, stimulating the decarbonisation of the Union transport sector in a cost- effective manner, and improving inter alia energy diversification in the transport sector while promoting innovation, growth and jobs in the Union economy and reducing reliance on energy imports. The cascading use principle should be taken into account in order to make sure that the use of feedstock for advanced biofuel production does not compete with other uses in which the feedstock would have to be replaced with more emission intensive raw materials. The incorporation obligation on fuels suppliers should encourage continuous development of advanced fuels, including biofuels, and it is important to ensure that the incorporation obligation also incentivises improvements in the greenhouse gas performance of the fuels supplied to meet it. The Commission should assess the greenhouse gas performance, technical innovation and sustainability of those fuels.

(65) The promotion of low carbon fossil fuels that are produced from fossil waste streamswaste-based fuels and other products, such as chemicals, that are produced from unavoidable gaseous waste streams of non-renewable origin can also contribute towards the policy objectives of energy diversification and, transport decarbonisation and the promotion of a circular economy. It is therefore appropriate to include those fuels in the incorporation obligation on fuel suppliers. These fuels should not be recognised as a renewable energy source, however.

Article 2 – paragraph 2 – point f f
(ff) ‘waste-based fossil fuels’ means liquid and gaseous fuels produced from unavoidable waste streams of non- renewable origin, including waste processing gases and exhaust gases, with substantial greenhouse gas savings over their entire lifecycle; if produced from solid waste streams, only waste that is not reusable and not mechanically recyclable shall be used, with full respect of the waste management hierarchy; if produced from gaseous process emissions, these must be emitted as an unavoidable and not intentional consequence of the manufacturing process; the proportion of gaseous waste used for the production of these waste-based fuels, cannot be credited under other emissions reduction schemes, such as the EU Emission Trading System;

Article 16 – paragraph 5 a (new)
5a. Member States shall ensure via their permit or concession granting processes that by 31 December 2020 all fuel stations along the roads of the core network established by Regulation (EU) No 1315/2013 ('TEN-T Core Network') are equipped with public accessible charging points for electric vehicles. The Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 32 to extend the scope of this paragraph to fuels falling under Article 25.

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 may be usedshall be used. However, electricity obtained from direct connection to an installation generating renewable electricity that is not connected to the grid may be fully counted as renewable electricity. In both cases, an equivalent amount of guarantees of origin issued in accordance with Article 19 shall be cancelled.

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 required for these fuels for the purpose of paragraph 1 of this Article.

Article 28 – paragraph 6 a (new)
Article 28 – paragraph 6 a (new)
6a. The Commission shall conduct an analysis of the technical and economic feasibility and the greenhouse gas saving potential of technologies that can convert the feedstocks listed in part A of Annex IX and the waste streams of non-renewable origin that can be used to produce the fuels defined in article 2(ff), into new chemical products, polymers or construction materials. To this end, material and energy balances will be compiled that allow to quantify (in)direct CO2-emissions in comparison to a baseline scenario. The Commission shall examine into what extent these technologies have a higher greenhouse gas saving potential than the conversion to transport fuels and shall, if appropriate, submit a legislative proposal to the European Parliament and the Council by 1st January 2021 to unlock this potential.
