Amendments (15)

Amendment 10 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital B a (new)
Ba. whereas with current levels of use of fossil fuels and future projections for this, CCS would seem to be essential to achieving the target of keeping the rise in global temperatures below 2°C;
2013/10/09
Committee: ENVI
Amendment 12 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital B b (new)
Bb. whereas developments in carbon capture and storage should not in any way be to the detriment of achieving the EU's mandatory renewables development target;
2013/10/09
Committee: ENVI
Amendment 13 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital B c (new)
Bc. whereas development of carbon capture and storage should be regarded as a strategy that is complementary to development of renewables in the transition to a low carbon economy;
2013/10/09
Committee: ENVI
Amendment 15 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital C a (new)
Ca. whereas development of this technology should not serve as an incentive to increase the share of fossil fuel power plants;
2013/10/09
Committee: ENVI
Amendment 21 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 1
1. Recognises that CCS deployment is needed for the EU to meet its 2050 low- carbon aspirations at least cost; affirms the urgent need to develop a range of full- chain CCS flagship projects; appreciates that instruments in addition to the EU ETS are needed to drive forward their development; believes that, for their development, other instruments need to be found which can foster research and technical development in the CCS technology field;
2013/10/09
Committee: ENVI
Amendment 26 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 1 a (new)
1a. Emphasises the importance of deploying CCS in certain industrial processes such as metallurgy, iron and steel, and the cement industry where it can profitably contribute to radical reductions in industrial emissions in the medium term;
2013/10/09
Committee: ENVI
Amendment 44 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 3 a (new)
3a. Notes the decision by certain Member States not to include CCS in their emissions reduction strategies, but points out that this ought not to prevent it being developed by those Member States which consider this technology to be valid and effective in the transition to a low carbon economy provided it can be deployed in a way that is safe for the environment.

Committee: ENVI
Amendment 48 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 5
5. Emphasises that Member States wishing to carry out CCS projects on their territory need to have the key role in providing a transparent revenue stream, such as feed-in tariffs, to support the construction and operation of flagship projects while enabling operators to secure a return on their investment, and in introducing regulatory requirements such as guarantees that first-mover CCS power plants provide baseload electricity generation;

Committee: ENVI
Amendment 104 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 12
12. Recognises the concern of potential CCS developers that the requirements of the CCS Directive appear one-sided, may require private companies to accept excessive liability for CO2 storage despite their work being approved by a Member State’s competent authority, and could pose a significant deterrent to investment;deleted
2013/10/09
Committee: ENVI
Amendment 109 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 12 a (new)
12a. Mentions again the rules on responsibility for storage of CO2 laid down in the CCS Directive and the obligations incumbent upon holders of a storage permit;
2013/10/09
Committee: ENVI
Amendment 110 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 12 b (new)
12b. Points out that the rules on responsibility for storage of CO2 laid down in the CCS Directive ought not to have a dissuasive effect on investments;
2013/10/09
Committee: ENVI
Amendment 112 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 13
13. Fully accepts that any accidental release of CO2 from a storage site must be prevented, but believes that Member States must share the liability once they have authorised a storage site and approved the conditions for its use; insists that the details of such liability should be a matter for negotiation between potential operators and the competent authority;deleted
2013/10/09
Committee: ENVI
Amendment 119 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 14
14. Points out that the CCS Directive gives Member States wide flexibility to determine the financial security to be provided by CCS operators and the period before responsibility for a closed storage site is transferred to the competent authority; suggests that Member States that seek to promote CCS development will have to play a more entrepreneurial role and accept a greater share of the responsibilities than presently understood;deleted
2013/10/09
Committee: ENVI
Amendment 124 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 15
15. Suggests that the CCS Directive requirement that in the event of CO2 leakage operators must surrender allowances does not take into account the costly remedial efforts required; fears that this obligation puts a further obstacle in the way of CCS development; calls on the Commission to propose a revision in its assessment of the CCS Directive;deleted
2013/10/09
Committee: ENVI
Amendment 133 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 16 a (new)
16a. Calls on the Commission to study the possibility of setting emissions standards for future fossil fuel power plants;
