Recital 13 a (new)

(13a) Inclusion of municipal waste incineration installations in the EU ETS may encourage recycling and proper sorting of waste leading to climate and environmental benefits. To assess any positive as well as negative consequences of this proposal, the Commission should by 31 December 2023 conduct an impact assessment on the inclusion of municipal waste incineration installations within the scope of Directive 2003/87/EC from 1 January 2026. If appropriate, this assessment should be accompanied by a legislative proposal to prevent any large- scale deviation of waste from municipal waste incineration installations towards landfills in the Union and exports to third countries.

(28) Achieving the increased climate ambition will require substantial public resources in the EU as well as national budgets to be dedicated to the climate transition. To complement and reinforce the substantial climate-related spending in the EU budget, all auction revenues that are not attributed to the Union budget should be used for climate-related ~~purpose~~investments in all sectors. This may includes the use for financial support to address social aspects in lower- and middle-income households by reducing distortive taxes. Further, to address distributional and social effects of the transition in ~~low-income~~ Member States, an additional amount of 2,5 % of the Union-wide quantity of allowances from [year of entry into force of the Directive] to 2030 should be used to fund the energy transition of ~~the~~Member States. Priority may be given to Member States with a gross domestic product (GDP) per capita below 65 % of the Union average in 2016-2018, through the Modernisation Fund referred to in Article 10d of Directive 2003/87/EC.

(30) The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), established under Regulation (EU) […./..] of the European Parliament and of the Council51 , isntends to complement and progressively offer an alternative to free allocation to address the risk of carbon leakage without undermining the Unions competitiveness. To the extent that sectors and subsectors are covered by that measure, and the measure has proven to be effective in preventing carbon leakage, including on leakage on export markets resulting from any drop in EU exports and investment leakage they should not receive free allocation. However, a transitional phasing-out of free allowances, combined with a reserve and review mechanism, is needed to allow producers, importers and traders to adjust to the new regime~~. The reduction of~~ and to assess the effective implementation of the CBAM. Once the CBAM has fully demonstrated its effectiveness in equalising CO2 costs between imported and domestic products and in protecting the competitiveness of European exports, the free allocation received by these sectors should be gradually phased out. Once the CBAM has fully demonstrated its effectiveness in equalising CO2 costs between imported and domestic products and in protecting the competitiveness of European exports, free allocation should be implemented by applying a factor to free allocation for CBAM sectors, while the CBAM is phased in. Nonetheless, safeguards should be provided for the products intended for exports. This percentage (CBAM factor) should be equal to 100 % during the transitional period between the entry into force of [CBAM Regulation] and 202530, 980 % in 202631 and should be reduced by 120 percentage points each year to reach 0 % and thereby eliminate free allocation by the ~~ten~~fifth year. The relevant delegated acts on free allocation should be adjusted accordingly for the sectors and subsectors covered by the CBAM. Theis phase-out of free allocation no longer provided to the CBAM sectors based on this calculation (CBAM demand) must be auctioned and the revenues will accrue to the Innovation Fund, so as to support innovation in low carbon technologies, carbon capture and utilisation (‘CCU’), carbon capture and geological storage (‘CCS’), renewable energy and energy storage, in a way that contributes to mitigating climate change. Special attention should be given to projects in CBAM sectorsshould be kept under review in light of the entry into force and effective implementation of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism. To respect the proportion of the free allocation available for the non-CBAM sectors, the final amount to deduct from the free allocation and to be auctioned should be calculated based on the proportion that the CBAM demand represents in respect of the free allocation needs of all sectors receiving free allocation. _________________ 51 [please insert full OJ reference]

Recital 30 a (new)

(30a) A temporary Carbon Leakage Protection Reserve should be established between 2031 to 2040, linked to the reduction of free allocation. Each year, the free allocation no longer provided to the CBAM sectors, based on the free allocation phase-out calculation, should be placed into the temporary Carbon Leakage Reserve. To this purpose the Commission shall every year, from 2031 to 2035, present to the European Parliament and Council a report on the effectiveness of this Regulation in lowering carbon leakage. By 28 February, the following year the Commission shall report to the European Parliament and the Council on the entry into force of CBAM and its effectiveness during the preceding year. If the assessment is positive, the allowances placed in the reserve should automatically be made available according to provisions of Article 10a(1b) of Directive 2003/87/EC. If the assessment proves negative impact on lowering carbon leakage, the allowances placed in the reserve should automatically be returned to industry, to mitigate the risk of carbon leakage.

Recital 30 b (new)

(30b) If any aspect of the CBAM Regulation or related EU ETS provisions is challenged in the WTO and as a result CBAM is cancelled, withdrawn, terminated or not implemented, the free allowances should no longer be phased out, and those already placed in the Carbon Border Adjustment Reserve should automatically be returned to the industry, to mitigate the risk of carbon leakage.

Recital 33

(33) The scope of the Innovation Fund referred to in Article 10a(8) of Directive 2003/87/EC should be extended to support in~~novation in low-carbon technologies and~~ stallation of non-breakthrough technologies in industrial processes that have a large greenhouse gas-saving potential but are not market-ready as well as innovation in low-carbon technologies in particular breakthrough technologies identified in the industrial ecosystem transition pathways, and processes that concern the consumption of fuels in the sectors of buildings and road transport. In addition, the Innovation Fund should serve to support investments to decarbonise the maritime transport sector, including investments in sustainable alternative fuels, such as hydrogen and ammonia that are produced from renewables, as well as zero- emission propulsion technologies like wind technologies. The Innovation Fund should support nuclear energy-related activities. Considering that revenues generated from penalties raised in Regulation xxxx/xxxx [FuelEU Maritime]52 are allocated to the Innovation Fund as external assigned revenue in accordance with Article 21(5) of the Financial Regulation, the Commission should ensure that due consideration is given to support for innovative projects aimed at accelerating the development and deployment of renewable and low carbon fuels in the maritime sector, as specified in Article 21(1) of Regulation xxxx/xxxx [FuelEU Maritime]. To ensure sufficient funding is available for innovation within this extended scope, the Innovation Fund should be supplemented with 50 million allowances, stemming partly from the allowances that could otherwise be auctioned, and partly from the allowances that could otherwise be allocated for free, in accordance with the current proportion of funding provided from each source to the Innovation Fund. To foster innovation in breakthrough technologies as soon as possible, the Commission should ensure that the financing made available through the Innovation Fund is ‘frontloaded’ during the first years of implementation of this Directive. _________________ 52[add ref to the FuelEU Maritime Regulation].

Recital 35

(35) Carbon Contracts for Difference (CCDs) are an important element to trigger emission reductions in industry, offering the opportunity to guarantee investors in innovative climate-friendly technologies a price that rewards CO2 emission reductions above those induced by the current price levels in the EU ETS. The range of measures that the Innovation Fund can support should be extended to provide support to projects through price- competitive tendering, such as CCDs. CCDs will be an important mechanism to support the development of decarbonisation technologies such as CCS and CCU and optimises the use of available resources. The Commission should be empowered to adopt delegated acts on the precise rules for this type of support.

(39) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/206654 lays down rules on the monitoring of emissions from biomass which are consistent with the rules on the use of biomass laid down in the Union legislation on renewable energy. As the legislation becomes more elaborate on the sustainability criteria for biomass with the latest rules established in Directive (EU) 2018/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council55 , the conferral of implementing powers in Article 14(1) of Directive 2003/87/EC should be explicitly extended to the adoption of the necessary adjustments for the application in the EU ETS of sustainability criteria for biomass, including biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels. In addition, the Commission should be empowered to adopt implementing acts to specify how to account for the storage of emissions from mixes of zero-rated biomass and biomass that is not from zero- rated sources. For maritime transport, the implementing acts shall ensure consistency with Regulation (EU) .../... [FuelEU Maritime] by taking into account well-to-wake performance of renewable and low-carbon fuels. _________________ 54Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2066 of 19 December 2018 on the monitoring and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions pursuant to Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and amending Commission Regulation (EU) No 601/2012 (OJ L 334, 31.12.2018, p. 1). 55Directive (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).

(40) Renewable liquid and gaseous fuels of non-biological origin and recycled carbon fuels can be important to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in sectors that are hard to decarbonise. Where recycled carbon fuels and renewable liquid and gaseous fuels of non-biological origin are produced from captured carbon dioxide under an activity covered by this Directive, the emissions should be accounted ~~under that activity~~for at the point of release. To ensure that renewable fuels of non-biological origin and recycled carbon fuels contribute to greenhouse gas emission reductions and to avoid double counting for fuels that do so, it is appropriate to explicitly extend the empowerment in Article 14(1) to the adoption by the Commission of implementing acts laying down the necessary adjustments for how and where to account for the eventual release of carbon dioxide and how to avoid double counting to ensure appropriate incentives for capturing emissions are in place, taking also into account the treatment of these fuels under Directive (EU) 2018/2001.

(44) In order to establish the necessary implementation framework and to provide a reasonable timeframe for reaching the 2030 target, emissions trading in the two new sectors should start in 2025. During the first year, the regulated entities should be required to hold a greenhouse gas emissions permit and to report their emissions for the years 2024 and 2025. The issuance of allowances and compliance obligations for these entities should be applicable as from 2026. This sequencing will allow starting emissions trading in the sectors in an orderly and efficient manner. It would also allow the EU funding and Member State measures to be in place to ensure a socially fair introduction of the EU emissions trading into the two sectors so as to mitigate the impact of the carbon price on vulnerable households, enterprises and transport users in all Member States.

Annex I – Paragraph 1 - row 24

Production of hydrogen (H2) and/or synthesis gas with a production capacity exceeding 2510 tonnes per day. The extension of the EU ETS to renewable and low carbon hydrogen production facilities, goes in the right direction and could provide a positive boost to the uptake of the electrolysis route. Nevertheless, in the current proposal, the effects are expected to be rather limited because the production threshold at 25 ton of hydrogen a day – corresponding to an electrolyser between 60-100MW depending on the efficiency - will exclude many electrolyser units.Justification

(52) The introduction of the carbon price in road transport and buildings should be accompanied by effective social compensation, especially in view of the already existing levels of energy poverty. About 34 million Europeans reported an inability to keep their homes adequately warm in 2018, and 6,9 % of the Union population have said that they cannot afford to heat their home sufficiently in a 2019 EU-wide survey60 . To achieve an effective social and distributional compensation, Member States should be required to spend the auction revenues on the climate and energy-related purposes already specified for the existing emissions trading, but also for measures added specifically to address related concerns for the new sectors of road transport and buildings, including related policy measures under Directive 2012/27/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council61 . Auction revenues should be used to address social and economic aspects of the emission trading for the new sectors with a specific emphasis in vulnerable households, micro- enterprises and transport users. In this spirit, a new Social Climate Fund will provide dedicated funding to Member States to support the European citizens most affected or at risk of energy or mobility poverty, as well as supporting enterprises greatly affected by this inclusion. This Fund will promote fairness and solidarity between and within Member States while mitigating the risk of energy and mobility poverty during the transition. It will build on and complement existing solidarity mechanisms. The resources of the new Fund will in principle correspond to 25 % of the expected revenues from new emission trading in the period 2026-2032, and will be implemented on the basis of the Social Climate Plans that Member States should put forward under Regulation (EU) 20…/nn of the European Parliament and the Council62 . In addition, each Member State should use their auction revenues inter alia to finance a part of the costs of their Social Climate Plans. _________________ 60 Data from 2018.
