Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Believes that the challenges ahead are also an opportunity for the Union industrial leadership in clean technologies such as batteries or hydrogen, as well as in the related industrial ecosystems; welcomes the new European partnerships under Horizon Europe related to mobility; encourages the commissions to proceed with an Alliance on Zero Emission Aviation to upscale readiness for disruptive aircraft technologies such as hydrogen and electric Aviation, building on the existing investments under the Clean Sky while creating complementarity synergies with existing and futur Alliances.
Amendment 50 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Calls for a holistic approach to increase the share of renewable energy in the transport sector, where the further development and deployment of electric vehicles should play a key role; furthermore, setting out a target for renewable energy in transport will further complement legislative instruments aiming at the promotion of zero emission vehicles such as the CO2 standards for vehicles; the promotion of zero emission vehicles will also contribute to other environmental objectives such as the reduction of local air and noise pollution;
Amendment 52 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Calls for a holistic approach based on the principle of technology neutrality and the life cycle assessment to increase the share of renewable and low-carbon energy in the transport sector, where the further development and deployment of low- and zero-emission vehicles should play a key role; the further development and deployment of electric vehicles should play a key role;
Amendment 72 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 6
Paragraph 6
6. Calls for measures to unlock the potential of the energy efficiency first principle by boosting opportunities from digitalisation and electrificationdecarbonisation of the transport sector;;
Amendment 82 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 7
Paragraph 7
7. Calls on the Commission to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the possibilities for advanced biofuels and associated infrastructure development in the EU, such as options for the greater uptake of sustainable alternative fuels, in particular in the aviation and maritime sectors, as part of the review of RED II; whilst Directive (EU) 2018/2001 sets a target of 3.5% for advanced biofuels in transport; for hard-to-decarbonise sectors such as transport, early investments in biofuels are needed to prepare a rapid upscaling of these solutions after 2030;
Amendment 90 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 7 a (new)
Paragraph 7 a (new)
7 a. Acknowledges that all options that foresees an increase of the ambition level need to be complement by dedicated policy initiatives that set out to promote biofuels in the aviation and maritime sector by setting consistent targets, which will ensure that a sufficient amount of fuels is available for all sectors; to that end the European parliament encourages the commission not to revise Articles 29 - 31 in Directive (EU) 2018/2001 to ensure the predictability of legislation;
Amendment 91 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 7 a (new)
Paragraph 7 a (new)
7 a. Underlines that the technology for the production of renewable and low- carbon fuels is available and needs to be deployed on a large scale without delay. Welcomes in this regard the intention to establish a Renewable and Low-Carbon Fuels Value Chain Alliance, whose scope should cover all transport modes, with the aim to boost the supply and deployment of the most promising fuels;
Amendment 92 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 8
Paragraph 8
8. Calls for increased efforts to achieve a EU-wide roll-out of charging infrastructure and the adoption of harmonised standards to ensure interoperability.; the promotion of infrastructure will also contribute in the same way to other environmental objectives such as GHG emission reductions; for example, for decarbonisation purposes, unless EVs are well integrated into the electricity system, the resulting investments needs for the electricity system could be substantial and would most likely not be accompanied by GHG emission reductions;
Amendment 100 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 8 a (new)
Paragraph 8 a (new)
8 a. Acknowledge that the Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Directive (AFID) and the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) are relevant in relation to fossil free electricity for recharging of electric vehicles (EVs); the proliferation of EVs is expected to follow exponential tendencies, with an estimate of about 30 million electric cars by 2030; the potential of EVs to absorb further fossil free electricity and decrease system GHG emissions has to be well appreciated and fully utilised through appropriate measures, as stipulated in the Commission’s Energy System Integration Strategy.
Amendment 102 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 8 a (new)
Paragraph 8 a (new)
8 a. Highlights the importance of providing support to the research and development of the most promising and sustainable technologies, like gaseous fuels, hydrogen, hybrid and electric ones, following a technology neutral approach based on life-cycle GHG emissions, in order to accelerate the transition to the next generation of decarbonised transport systems.
Amendment 109 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 8 b (new)
Paragraph 8 b (new)
8 b. Emphasizes that it will be crucial for users to access publicly available charging infrastructure, especially at locations where cars EVs are left for long hours (e.i. over day, or overnight) in locations of high demand for parking spaces, such as dense urban or residential areas;
