(30) The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), established under Regulation (EU) […./..] of the European Parliament and of the Council51 , is an alternative to free allocation to address the risk of carbon leakage. To the extent that sectors and subsectors are covered by that measure, they should not receive free allocation. However, a transitional phasing-out of free allowances is needed to allow producers, importers and traders to adjust to the new regime. The reduction of free allocation should be implemented by applying a factor to free allocation for CBAM sectors, while the CBAM is phased in. This percentage (CBAM factor) should be equal to 100 % during the transitional period between the entry into force of [CBAM Regulation] and 2025, 90 % in 2026 and should be reduced by 10 percentage points each year to reach 0 % and thereby eliminate free allocation by the tenth year. The relevant delegated acts on free allocation should be adjusted accordingly for the sectors and subsectors covered by the CBAM. The 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 sectors. 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 allocatcomplements free allocation and is intended to protect against the increased risk of carbon leakage stemming from the enhanced climate mitigation ambitions of the Union. _________________ 51 [please insert full OJ reference]

(3) The European Green Deal combines a comprehensive set of mutually reinforcing measures and initiatives aimed at achieving climate neutrality in the EU by 2050, and sets out a new growth strategy that aims to transform the Union into a fair and prosperous society, with a modern, resource-efficient and competitive economy, where economic growth is decoupled frompendent on sustainable and responsible resource use. It also aims to protect, conserve and enhance the Union's natural capital, and protect the health and well- being of citizens from environment-related risks and impacts. Simultaneously, the intent is to create conditions for a dignified life for Europeans with access to affordable sustainable energy to meet their necessities for life. At the same time, this transition affects women and men differently and has a particular impact on some disadvantaged groups, such as older people, persons with disabilities and persons with a minority racial or ethnic background. It must therefore be ensured that the transition is just and inclusive, leaving no one behind.

(7) All sectors of the economy need to contribute to achieving those emission reductions. Therefore, the ambition of the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), established by Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council41 to promote reductions of greenhouse gas emissions in a cost-effective and economically efficient manner, should be increased in a manner commensurate with this economy-wide net greenhouse gas emissions reduction target for 2030 and at the same time, constantly to assess the impacts of the EU ETS on the development of production and energy sectors in order to provide a tool to support the transition, not to attenuate the economic activity. _________________ 41 Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 2003 establishing a system for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Union and amending Council Directive 96/61/EC (OJ L 275, 25.10.2003, p. 32).

(13) Greenhouse gases that are not directly released into the atmosphere should be considered emissions under the EU ETS and allowances should be surrendered for those emissions unless they are stored in a storage site in accordance with Directive 2009/31/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council46 , or they are permanently chemically bound in a product so that they do not enter the atmosphere under normal use, or they are captured and used to produce recycled carbon fuels and renewable liquid and gaseous fuels of non-biological origin. The Commission should be empowered to adopt implementing acts specifying the conditions where greenhouse gases are to be considered as permanently chemically bound in a product so that they do not enter the atmosphere under normal use, including obtaining a carbon removal certificate, where appropriate, in view of regulatory developments with regard to the certification of carbon removals. _________________ 46Directive 2009/31/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 on the geological storage of carbon dioxide and amending Council Directive 85/337/EEC, European Parliament and Council Directives 2000/60/EC, 2001/80/EC, 2004/35/EC, 2006/12/EC, 2008/1/EC and Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 (OJ L 140, 5.6.2009, p. 114).

Starting from 2024 Member State with a deficit of allowances in any year in the period after 2023 shall have their allowances exempted from the operation of market stability reserve in the following year up to the amount of their deficit in the previous year. 1c. For Member States with structural imbalance of allowances that persists even after the exemption from the operation of market stability reserve in the following year, the allowances in the Market Stability Reserve shall be used to cover this imbalance. This shall be done by comparing the total number of allowances for the beneficiary Member State against the emissions generated in the sectors covered by the EU ETS in the same year. For the purpose of this calculation the total number of allowances shall take into account all allowances: (a) to be auctioned by particular Member States in accordance with Article 10 together with (b) the total number of allowances received for free by installations in this Member State in accordance with Article 10a, and (c) the national allocation from the Modernisation Fund for that Member State in accordance with Article 10d. 1d. After establishing the level of deficit the national share of the Modernisation Fund shall be increased by the same amount or the Member State shall receive this amount of allowances from the Market Stability Reserve allowances that would otherwise be cancelled in that year. Should this be insufficient to fully compensate the deficit in year n then the rest of it shall be covered by using allowances already placed in the MSR to ensure a respective increase of the Modernisation Fund allocation for this Member State in year n+1.’.

(26) Achieving the Union’s emissions reduction target for 2030 will require a reduction in the emissions of the sectors covered by the EU ETS of 61 % compared to 2005. The Union-wide quantity of allowances of the EU ETS needs to be reduced to create the necessary long-term carbon price signal and drive for this degree of decarbonisation. To this end, the linear reduction factor should be increased, also taking into account the inclusion of emissions from maritime transport. The latter should be derived from the emissions from maritime transport activities reported in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2015/757 for 2018 and 2019 in the Union, adjusted, from year 2021, by the linear reduction factor.

By way of derogation from subparagraph 1, the ratios for district heating to be determined shall ensure the allocation of allowances in a way that provides an incentive to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. These indicators for the entire period referred to in Art. 11, second paragraph, takes the value specified in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/447 for the heat benchmark.

(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 purposes and for mitigation transformation risks. This 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 23,5 % of the Union-wide quantity of allowances from [year of entry into force of the Directive]2021 to 2030 should be used to fund the energy transition of the 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.

(31) In order to better reflect technological progress and adjust the corresponding benchmark values to the relevant period of allocation while ensuring emission reduction incentives and properly rewarding innovation, the maximum adjustment of the benchmark values should be increased from 1,6 % to 2,51,9 % per year. For the period from 2026 to 2030, the benchmark values should thus be adjusted within a range of 4 % to 5038 % compared to the value applicable in the period from 2013 to 2020.

Projects shall be selected on the basis of objective and transparent criteria, taking into account the need to ensure the fair geographical distribution of the projects, the level of emissions in a given Member State to define relevant emissions savings achieved by a given project and, where relevant, the extent to which projects contribute to achieving emission reductions well below the benchmarks referred to in paragraph 2. Projects shall have the potential for widespread application or to significantly lower the costs of transitioning towards a low-carbon economy in the sectors concerned. Projects involving CCU shall deliver a net reduction in emissions and ensure avoidance or permanent storage of CO2. In the case of grants provided through calls for proposals, up to 60 % of the relevant costs of projects may be supported, out of which up to 40 % need not be dependent on verified avoidance of greenhouse gas emissions, provided that pre-determined milestones, taking into account the technology deployed, are attained. In the case of support provided through competitive bidding and in the case of technical assistance support, up to 100 % of the relevant costs of projects may be supported.

(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 where the CO2 is emitted into the atmosphere. 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 are in place for capturing the CO2, taking also into account the treatment of these fuels under Directive (EU) 2018/2001.

If, for more than three consecutive months, the monthly average allowance price is more than two times the average price of allowances during the two preceding years period on the European carbon market, the Commission shall convene a meeting of the Committee established by Article 9 of Decision No 280/2004/EC not later than within 7 working days. 2. For the purposes of paragraph 1: (a) the “monthly average carbon price” for any month is calculated by dividing the sum of the settlement prices of the relevant December futures contract as traded on the relevant carbon market exchange for each relevant day in the month by the number of relevant days in the month. (b) the “average price of allowances during the two preceding years period” is calculated by dividing the sum of the settlement prices of the relevant December futures contract as traded on the relevant carbon market exchange for each relevant day in the two year period ending with the last month before the first month of the period of three consecutive months by the number of relevant days in the two year period. 3. If the price evolution referred to in paragraph 1 is triggered, one of the following measures shall be implemented, taking into account the degree of price evolution: (a) by bringing forward the auctioning of a part of the quantity to be auctioned in a subsequent calendar year ; (b) by the release for auction up to 25 % of the remaining allowances in the new entrants reserve ; (c) by the release of an appropriate quantity of allowances from the Market Stability Reserve. The Committee may also consider additional interventions if the circumstances justify further or earlier action.

(59) In order to ensure uniform conditions for the implementation of Articles 3gd(3), 12(3b) and 14(1) of Directive 2003/87/EC, implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission. To ensure synergies with the existing regulatory framework, the conferral of implementing powers in Articles 14 and 15 of that Directive should be extended to cover the sectors of road transport and buildings. Those implementing powers should be exercised in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council65 . _________________ 65Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of 16 February 2011 laying down the rules and general principles concerning mechanisms for control by the Member States of the Commission's exercise of implementing powers (OJ L 55, 28.02.2011, p. 13).

(61) A well-functioning, reformed EU ETS comprising an instrument to stabilise the market is a key means for the Union to reach its agreed target for 2030 and the commitments under the Paris Agreement. The Market Stability Reserve seeks to address the imbalance between supply and demand of allowances in the market. Article 3 of Decision (EU) 2015/1814 provides that the reserve is to be reviewed three years after it becomes operational, paying particular attention to the percentage figure for the determination of the number of allowances to be placed in the Market Stability Reserve, the threshold for the total number of allowances in circulation (TNAC) that determines the intake of allowances, and the number of allowances to be released from the reserve. The amount of allowances held by entities that is not used to cover obligations under the EU ETS should not be included in the TNAC calculations to trigger market stability reserve thresholds.

(62) Considering the need to deliver a stronger investment signal to reduce emissions in a cost-efficient manner and with a view to strengthening the EU ETS, Decision (EU) 2015/1814 should be amended so as to increase the percentage rate for determining the number of allowances to be placed each year in the Market Stability Reserve. In addition, for lower levels of the TNAC, the intake should be equal to the difference between the TNAC and the threshold that determines the intake of allowances. This would prevent the considerable uncertainty in the auction volumes that results when the TNAC is close to the threshold, and at the same time ensure that the surplus reaches the volume bandwidth within which the carbon market is deemed to operate in a balanced manner.
