Amendment 19 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Points out that the use of LNG in heavy-duty vehicles and shipping can reduce emissions of various pollutants (SOx, NOx and particulate matter) and, in the case of shipping, can allow the sector to meet the requirements of environmental legislation by decreasing the sulphur and nitrogen content in marine fuels used in the Emission Control Areas; notes that LNG, and in particular CNG, is also an immediately viable solution for public and private transport which helps to reduce air and noise pollution;
Amendment 28 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Stresses that the use of LNG and CNG may also lead to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from maritime and road transport, provided that methane slip is minimised in the production, distribution, and combustion phases; calls therefore for adequate measures to minimise methane slip in the overall LNGproduction chain through the use of the best available technologies and to ensure adequate R&D financing for that purpose;
Amendment 44 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Calls on the Member States to ensure implementation of Directive 2014/94/EU on the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure, within the prescribed time limits, in particular as regards the establishment of LNG refuelling points, at least along the existing TEN-T Core Network, to ensure that LNG heavy-duty motor vehicles can circulate throughout the Union, and at maritime and inland ports to enable LNG inland waterway vessels or sea-going ships to circulate throughout the TEN-T Core Network; recalls that Member States should assess, in their national policy frameworks, in close cooperation with their regional authorities, the need to install refuelling points for LNG in ports outside the TEN-T Core Network, and that similar steps should be taken as regards CNG;
