(1a) The General Union Environment Action Programme to 2030 (8th EAP) sets out thematic priority objectives for 2030 in the areas of climate change mitigation, adaptation to climate change, protecting and restoring biodiversity, a non-toxic circular economy, a zero pollution environment and minimising environmental pressures from production and consumption across all sectors of the economy and recognises that these objectives, which address both drivers and impacts of environmental damage, are inherently interlinked. The 8th EAP also has a long-term priority objective that by 2050 at the latest, people live well, within the planetary boundaries in a well-being economy where nothing is wasted, growth is regenerative, climate neutrality in the Union has been achieved and inequalities have been significantly reduced. A healthy environment underpins the well- being of all people and is an environment in which biodiversity is conserved, ecosystems thrive, and nature is protected and restored, leading to increased resilience to climate change, weather and climate-related disasters and other environmental risks.

(1b) The General Union Environment Action Programme to 2030(‘8th EAP’), the framework for Union action in the field of the environment and climate, aims to accelerate the green transition to a climate-neutral, sustainable, non-toxic, resource-efficient, renewable energy- based, resilient and competitive circular economy in a just, equitable and inclusive way, and to protect, restore and improve the state of the environment by, inter alia, halting and reversing biodiversity loss. It supports and strengthens an integrated policy and implementation approach, building upon the European Green Deal. The 8th EAP recognises that achieving this transition will require systemic change which, according to the EEA, entails a fundamental, transformative and cross-cutting change that implies major shifts and reorientation in system goals, incentives, technologies, social practices and norms, as well as in knowledge systems and governance approaches.

(1c) Ensuring that legislative initiatives, programmes, investments, projects and their implementation are consistent with, contribute where relevant, and do no harm to any of the 8th EAP objectives is necessary for the objectives’ achievement. Furthermore, ensuring that social inequalities resulting from climate- and environmental-related impacts and policies are minimised and that measures taken to protect the environment and climate are carried out in a socially fair and inclusive way, as well as gender mainstreaming throughout climate and environmental policies, including by incorporating a gender perspective at all stages of the policy-making process, will be required to meet the objectives of the 8th EAP and, as such, are also laid down as enabling conditions in the 8thEAP.

(1d) The 2030 climate mitigation objective of the 8th EAP is swift and predictable reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and, at the same time, enhancement of removals by natural sinks in the Union to attain the 2030 greenhouse gas emission reduction target as laid down in Regulation (EU) 2021/1119, in line with the Union’s climate and environment objectives, whilst ensuring a just transition that leaves no one behind. To help achieve its objectives, the 8th EAP also lays down the enabling condition of phasing out of environmentally harmful subsidies, including through setting a deadline for the phasing out of fossil fuel subsidies consistent with the ambition of limiting global warming to 1,5°C as well as a binding Union framework to monitor and report on Member States’ progress towards phasing out fossil fuel subsidies, based on an agreed methodology.

(2) Renewable energy plays a fundamental role in achieving the objectives of the 8th EAP and delivering on the European Green Deal and forwhich both entail achieving climate neutrality by 2050, given that the energy sector contributes over 75% of total greenhouse gas emissions in the Union. By reducing those greenhouse gas emissions, renewable energy can also contributes to tackling environmental-related challenges such as biodiversity loss, land, water and air pollution as long as the renewable energy sources themselves do not exacerbate these challenges. Strict sustainability criteria as well as, where necessary the exclusion of certain feedstock for the purposes of counting toward the targets under this Directive as well as being eligible for support, are necessary to fulfil this condition.

(3) Directive (EU) 2018/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council9 sets a binding Union target to reach a share of at least 32 % of energy from renewable sources in the Union's gross final consumption of energy by 2030. Under the Climate Target PlanTo achieve the objective of the 8th EAP and the European Green Deal and to make the legislation fit for 1.5°C, the share of renewable energy in gross final energy consumption would need to increase to 40at least 51% by 2030 in order to achieve the Union’s greenhouse gas emissions reduction target10 as enshrined in the EU climate law. Therefore, the target set out in Article 3 of that Directive needs to be increased. and accompanied by national binding targets given their proven effectiveness in providing certainty for investors and to encourage continuous development of technologies which generate energy from all types of renewable sources. _________________ 9Directive (EU) 2018/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2018 on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources, OJ L 328, 21.12.2018, p. 82–209 10 Point 3 of the Communication from the Commission COM(2020) 562 final of 17.9.2020, Stepping up Europe’s 2030 climate ambition Investing in a climate- neutral future for the benefit of our people

(3a) In line with the latest scientific evidence energy savings, energy efficiency and renewable energy, are among the key drivers for reaching a net zero emissions economy. In addition to this Directive on Renewable Energy, the Union has committed to the Energy Efficiency First principle, which should be implemented in all relevant legislation and initiatives.

(4) There is a growing recognition of the need for alignment of bioenergy policies with the cascading principle of biomass use11 as well as with climate, climate and air pollution objectives, with a view to ensuring fair access to the biomass raw material market for the development of innovative, high value-added bio-based solutions and a sustainable circular bioeconomy. When developing support schemes for bioenergy, Member States should therefore take into consideration the available sustainable supply of biomass for energy and non- energy uses and the maint, ensuring protection of biodiversity and enhancement of the national forest carbon sinks and ecosystems as well asimplementing the principles of the circular economy and the biomass cascading use, and the waste hierarchy established in Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council12 . For this, they should grant no support to the production of energy from saw logs, veener logs, stumps and roots and avoid promoting the use of quality roundwood for energy except in well-defined circumstancelectricity from woody biomass and to the production of heat using primary woody biomass. In line with the cascading principle, secondary woody biomass should be used according to its highest economic and environmental added value in the following order of priorities: 1) wood- based products, 2) extending their service life, 3) re-use, 4) recycling, 5) bio-energy and 6) disposal. Where no other use for secondary woody biomass is economically viable or environmentally appropriate, energy recovery helps to reduce energy generation from non- renewable sources. Member States’ support schemes for bioenergy should therefore be directed to such feedstocks for which little market competition exists with the material sectors, and whose sourcing is considered positive for both climate and biodiversity, in order to avoid negative incentives for unsustainable bioenergy pathways, as identified in the JRC report ‘The use of woody biomass for energy production in the EU’13 . On the other hand, in defining the further implications of the cascading principle, it is necessary to recognise the national specificities which guide Member States in the design of their support schemes Waste pPrevention, reuse and recycling of waste should be the priority option. Member States should avoid creating support schemes which would be counter to targets on treatment of waste and which would lead to the inefficient use of recyclable waste. Moreover, in order to ensure a more efficient use of bioenergy, from 2026 on Member States should not give support anymore to electricity-only plants , unless the installations are in regions with a specific use status as regards their transition away from fossil fuels or if the installations use carbon capture and storage. _________________ 11The cascading principle aims to achieve resource efficiency of biomass use through prioritising biomass material use to energy use wherever possible, increasing thus the amount of biomass available within the system. In line with the cascading principle, woody biomass should be used according to its highest economic and environmental added value in the following order of priorities: 1) wood-based products, 2) extending their service life, 3) re-use, 4) recycling, 5) bio-energy and 6) disposal. 12Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 November 2008 on waste and repealing certain Directives (OJ L 312, 22.11.2008, p. 3). 13 https://publications.jrc.ec.europa.eu/reposit ory/handle/JRC122719

(5) The rapid growth and increasing cost-competitiveness of renewable electricity production can be used to satisfy a growing share of energy demand, for instance using heat pumps for space heating or low- and medium temperature industrial processes, electric vehicles for transport, or electric furnaces in certain industries. Renewable electricity can also be used to produce synthetic fuels for consumption in hard-to-decarbonise transport sectorssectors and applications, such as aviation and maritime transport. A framework for electrification needs to enable robust and efficient coordination and expand market mechanisms to match both supply and demand in space and time, stimulate investments in flexibility, and help and additional renewable capacities, and help to maximise the integrateion of large shares of variable renewable generation. Member States should therefore ensure that the deployment of renewable electricity continues to increase at an adequate pace to meet growing demandincrease in demand for electricity in the transport, industry, building and heating and cooling sectors and for the production of renewable fuels of non-biological origin is met with equivalent amounts of additional renewable generation capacities. For this, Member States should establish a framework that includes market- compatible mechanisms to tackle remaining barriers to have secure and adequate electricity systems fit for a high level of renewable energy, as well as storage facilities, fully integrated into the electricity system. In particular, this framework shall tackle remaining barriers, including non-financial ones such as insufficient digital and human resources of authorities to process a growing number of permitting applications. When designing the framework, Member States should promote electrification and the most energy- and resource- efficient sustainable renewable energy generation technologies in each sector in application of the energy efficiency first principle’. In order to guarantee a harmonised approach across the EU, the Commission should develop a framework on additionality in view of determining the baseline of Member States and criteria measuring additionality

(8) The Offshore Renewable Energy Strategy introduces an ambitious objective of 300 GW of offshore wind and 40 GW of ocean energy across all the Union’s sea basins by 2050. To ensure this step change, Member States will need to work together across borders at sea-basin level. Member States should therefore jointly define and allocate adequate space in their maritime spatial plan for the amount of offshore renewable generation and related infrastructure to be deployed within each sea basin by 2050, with intermediate steps in 2030 and 204030, 2040 and 2050,. Where the cumulated objective does not amount to at least 79 GW and 340 GW of installed capacity by 2030 and2050 respectively, or where intermediate steps are not in line with the 2030 and 2050 objectives, the Commission shall take additional measures to facilitate the roll-out of offshore renewable energy. These objectives should be reflected in the updated national energy and climate plans that will be submitted in 2023 and 2024 pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2018/1999. In defining the amount, Member States should take into account the offshore renewable energy potential of each sea basin, environmental protection and biodiversity, climate adaptation and other uses of the sea, as well as the Union’s decarbonisation targets. In addition, Member States should increasingly consider the possibility of combining offshore renewable energy generation with transmission lines interconnecting several Member States, in the form of hybrid projects or, at a later stage, a more meshed grid. This would allow electricity to flow in different directions, thus maximising socio- economic welfare, optimising infrastructure expenditure and enabling a more sustainable usage of the sea. GHG emission reduction targets. Accordingly, when installing new wind parks Member States should avoid placing them in the routes of migratory birds and apply best practices to reduce bird fatalities such as by increasing rotor blade visibility through visual cues by applying contrast painting to single blades, as well by requiring the installation of automated curtailment system whereby turbines are slowed or stopped when wildlife are considered at increased risk of collision.

(8a) In order to enhance broad public acceptance, Member States should ensure the possibility of including renewable energy communities in joint cooperation projects on offshore renewable energy. In addition, Member States should increasingly consider the possibility of combining offshore renewable energy generation with transmission lines interconnecting several Member States, in the form of hybrid projects or, at a later stage, a more meshed grid.

(11) Buildings have a large untapped potential to contribute effectively to the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in the Union. The decarbonisation of heating and cooling in this sector through the phase out of fossil based H&C appliances/systems as well as an increased share in production and use of renewable energy and energy efficiency measures will be needed to meet the ambition set in the Climate Target Plan to achieve the Union objective of climate neutrality. However, progress on the use of renewables for heating and cooling has been stagnant in the last decade, largely relying on increased use of biomass. Without the establishment of targets to increase the production and use of renewable energy in buildings, there will be no ability to track progress and identify bottlenecks in the uptake of renewables. Furthermore, the creation of targets will provide a long-term signal to investors, including for the period immediately after 2030. This will complement obligations related to energy efficiency and the energy performance of buildings. Therefore, bindicativeng targets for the use of renewable energy in buildings should be set to guide and incentivise Member States’ efforts to exploit the potential of using and producing renewable energy in buildings, encourage the development of and integration of technologies which produce renewable energy while providing certainty for investors and local level engagement.

(16) In order for flexibility and balancing services from the aggregation of distributed storage assets to be developed in a competitive manner, real- time access to basic battery information such as state of health, state of charge, capacity and power set point should be provided under non- discriminatory terms, in full compliance with the relevant provisions in Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation) and free of charge to the owners or users of the batteries and the entities acting on their behalf, such as building energy system managers, mobility service providers and other electricity market participants. It is therefore appropriate to introduce measures addressing the need of access to such data for facilitating the integration-related operations of domestic batteries and electric vehicles, complementing the provisions on access to battery data related to facilitating the repurposing of batteries in [the proposed Commission regulation concerning batteries and waste batteries, repealing Directive 2006/66/EC and amending Regulation (EU) No 2019/1020]. The provisions on access to battery data of electric vehicles should apply in addition to any laid down in Union law on type approval of vehicles.

(18) Electric vehicle users entering into contractual agreements with electromobility service providers and electricity market participants should have the right to receive information and explanations on how the terms of the agreement will affect the use of their vehicle and the state of health of its battery. Electromobility service providers and electricity market participants should explain clearly to electric vehicle users how they will be remunerated for the flexibility, how their aggregated data is used, balancing and storage services provided to the electricity system and market by the use of their electric vehicle. Electric vehicle users also need to have their consumer rights secured when entering into such agreements, in particular regarding the privacy and protection of their personal data such as location and driving habits, in connection to the use of their vehicle. Electric vehicle users’ preference regarding the type of electricity purchased for use in their electric vehicle, as well as other preferences, can also be part of such agreements. For the above reasons, it is important that electric vehicle users can use their subscription at multiple recharging pointso ensure that the charging infrastructure that is to be deployed, is used most effectively, and to improve consumer confidence in e- mobility, it is essential that the use of publicly accessible recharging stations is open to all users, regardless of the car brand and whether or not they are part of a contract-based payment scheme and that they accept payment cards widely used in the Union. This will also allow the electric vehicle user’s service provider of choice to optimally integrate the electric vehicle in the electricity system, through predictable planning and incentives based on the electric vehicle user preferences. This is also in line with the principles of a consumer-centric and prosumer-based energy system, and the right of supplier choice of electric vehicle users as final customers as per the provisions of Directive (EU) 2019/944.

(20) Recharging points where electric vehicles typically park for extended periods of time, such as where people park for reasons of residence or employment, are highly relevant to energy system integration, therefore smart and bi directional charging functionalities need to be ensured. In this regard, the operation of non-publicly accessible normal charging infrastructure is particularly important for the integration of electric vehicles in the electricity system as it is located where electric vehicles are parked repeatedly for long periods of time, such as in buildings with restricted access, employee parking or parking facilities rented out to natural or legal persons.

(21) Industry accounts for 25% of the Union’s energy consumption, and is a major consumer of heating and cooling, which is currently supplied 91% by fossil fuels. However, 50% of heating and cooling demand is low-temperature (<200 °C) for which there are cost-effective and more energy efficient renewable energy options, including through particular direct renewables based electrification. In addition, industry uses non-renewable sources as raw materials to produce products such as steel or chemicals. Industrial investment decisions today will determine the future industrial processes and energy options that can be considered by industry, so it is important that those investments decisions are future-proofin line with the goal of climate neutrality and thus future-proof instead of risking becoming stranded-assets. Therefore, benchmarks should be put in place to incentivise industry to switch to a renewables-based production processes that not only are fueled by renewable energy, but also use renewable-based raw materials such as renewable hydrogen. Moreover, a common methodology for products that are labelled as having been produced partially or fully using renewable energy or using renewable fuels of non-biological origin as feedstock is required, taking into account existing Union product labelling methodologies and sustainable product initiatives. This would avoid deceptive practices and increase consumers trust. Furthermore, given consumer preference for products that contribute to environmental and climate change objectives, it would stimulate a market demand for those products.

(22) Renewable fuels of non-biological origin can be used for energy purposes, but also for non-energy purposes as feedstock or raw material in industries such as steel or chemicals. TIn line with the energy efficiency first principle, the use of renewable fuels of non-biological origin for both purposes exploits their full potential to replace fossil fuels used as feedstock and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in industryial processes that cannot be directly electrified with renewables and should therefore be included in a target for the use of renewable fuels of non- biological origin. National measures to support the uptake of renewable fuels of non-biological origin in those industryial sectors should not result in net pollution increases due to an increased demand for electricity generation that is satisfied by the most polluting fossil fuels, such as coal, diesel, lignite, oil peat and oil shale.

(22a) The Commission’s 2020 Hydrogen Strategy for a Climate-Neutral Europe notes the importance of the EU actively promoting new opportunities for cooperation on renewable hydrogen with neighbouring countries and regions, as a way to contribute to their energy transition and to foster sustainable growth and development. With this in mind, it is important that demand from the EU for RFNBOs do not drive unsustainable production models within and outside the EU. To mitigate this risk, RFNBOs, regardless of the country of production, should meet a set of minimum criteria including in relation to land and water use as well as to human rights and sustainable development in order to be eligible for support or to count towards the overall target and the related sub- targets of this Directive. The production of hydrogen should meet the highest environmental standards and should not be in competition with the needs of local communities provision for water, land and energy, in line with the objectives of the SDGs as well as the Paris Agreement and international agreements on biodiversity and the environment.

(22b) Emission reduction and climate neutrality objectives should not come at the expense of biodiversity. According to the European Environmental Agency report on the “State of the Water” the EU’s rivers are in bad state with only 44% being in a good or high ecological state. In addition to chemical pollution, “energy-related pressures and hydropower installations” are the biggest threat to these important ecosystems. Moreover, European rivers are thought to be the most fragmented freshwater ecosystems in the world. Small hydropower plants in particular can jeopardise the goal of restoring 25.000 km free flowing rivers laid down in the Biodiversity Strategy. Hydropower’s effect on biodiversity has been considerable: since 1970, migratory freshwater fish species have declined by 93 percent. All new hydropower plants should be excluded from the possibility of getting support or counting towards the targets. Furthermore, in order to receive support, existing plants should be able to fulfil a number of requirements: they should, inter alia, be greater than 10 MW and meet the minimum ecological requirements laid down in EU legislation;

(23) Increasing ambition in the heating and cooling sector is key to delivering the overall renewable energy target given that heating and cooling constitutes around half of the Union's energy consumption, covering a wide range of end uses and technologies in buildings, industry and district heating and cooling. To accelerate the increase of renewables in heating and cooling, an annual 1.1 percentage point increase at Member State level should be made binding as a minimum for all Member States. For those Member States, which already have renewable shares above 50% in the heating and cooling sector, it should remain possible to only apply half of the binding annual increase rate and Member States with 60% or above may count any such share as fulfilling the average annual increase rate in accordance with points b) and c) of paragraph 2 of Article 23. In addition, Member State- specific top-ups should be set, redistributing the additional efforts to the desired level of renewables in 2030 among Member States based on GDP and cost- effectiveness. A longer list of different measures should also be included in Directive (EU) 2018/2001 to facilitate increasing the share of renewables in heating and cooling. Member States mayshould implement onetwo or more measures from the list of measures.
