(2) Various instruments of Union law already set targets for renewable fuels. Directive 2018/2001/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council45 for instance set a market share target of 14 % of renewables in transport fuels, including a target of 3,5% for advanced biofuels. _________________ 45 Directive (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).

(4 a) In order to support the market uptake of electric mopeds and motorcycles, the deployment of battery recharging infrastructure for L-category vehicles should be accelerated, especially in the urban and peri-urban environments. While the technical specifications of AC recharging points are specified by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU)2019/1745, Members States should support and engage in the roll out of DC charging infrastructure and swappable battery infrastructure for these vehicles.

(5) Therefore all modes of transport should be addressed in one instrument which should take into account a variety of alternative fuels. The use of zero-emission powertrain technologies is at different stages of maturity in the different modes of transport. In particular, in the road sector, a rapid uptake of battery-electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles is taking place. Hydrogen fuel-cell road vehicles are available to markets, as well. In addition, smaller hydrogen and battery electric vessels and hydrogen fuel-cell trains are currently being deployed in different projects and in first commercial operations, with full commercial roll out expected in the next years. In contrast, the aviation and waterborne sectors continue to be dependent on liquid and gaseous fuels, as zero- and low-emission powertrain solutions are expected to enter the market only around 2030 and in particular for the aviation sector even later, with full commercialisation taking its time. The use of fossil gaseous or liquid fuels is only possible if it is clearly embedded into a clear decarbonisation pathway that is in line with the long-term objective of climate neutrality in the Union, requiring increasing blending with or replacement by renewable fuels such as bio-methane, advanced biofuelsbiopropane, biomass fuels, biofuels (including bioLPG and renewable Dimethyl Ether), advanced biofuels, recycled carbon fuels, renewable fuels of non-biological origin or renewable and low- carbon synthetic gaseous and liquid fuels.

(6) Such biofuelsmass fuels, biogas, advanced biofuels, biofuels, recycled carbon fuels, renewable fuels of non- biological origin and synthetic fuels, substituting diesel, petrol and jet fuel, can be produced from different feedstock and can be blended into fossil fuels at very high blending ratios. Renewable and biomass fuels, can made and blended with conventional gaseous fuels such us natural gas, LPG and LNG. They can be technically used with the current vehicle technology with minor or no adaptations. Renewable and bio-based liquefied natural gas can be used for heavy transport, both by rail and by sea. Already 20% of gas used in road transport is biomethane (bioCNG and bioLNG), a share which is quickly increasing, supporting the decarbonisation of the sector. Renewable methanol can also be used for inland navigation and short-sea shipping. Synthetic and paraffinic fuels have a potential to reduce the use of fossil fuel sources in the energy supply to transport. All of these fuels can be distributed, stored and used with the existing infrastructure or where necessary with infrastructure of the same kind.

(7) LNG is likely to play a continued role in maritime transport, where there is currently no economically viable zero- emission powertrain technology available. The Communication on the Smart and Sustainable Mobility Strategy points to zero-emission seagoing ships becoming market ready by 2030. Fleet conversion should take place gradually due to the long lifetime of the ships. Contrary to maritime transport, fFor inland waterways, with normally smaller vessels and shorter distances, zero-emission powertrain technologies, such as hydrogen and electricity, should enter the markets more quickly. LNG is expected to no longerLPG, LNG, hydrogen and electricity, also in their renewable derivatives, can immediately play a significant role in that sector. Transport fuels such as LNG need increasingly to be decarbonised by blending/substituting with liquefied biomethane (bio-LNG) or renewable and low-carbon synthetic gaseous e-fuels (e- gas) for instance. Those decarbonised fuels can be used in the same infrastructure as gaseous fossil fuels thereby allowing for a gradual shift towards decarbonised fuels.

(7 a) Renewable DME (rDME) is a renewable fuel that is chemically identical to DME. rDME can be blended up to 20% by weight with LPG to be used in existing LPG vehicles. Diesel engines used in hard to decarbonised heavy duty sector, can run on 100% DME with slight modification.

(8) In the heavy-duty road transport sector, LNG trucks are fully mature, and can run on a high blend of bioLNG. On the one hand, the common scenarios underpinning the Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy and the Climate Target Plan as well as the revised “Fit for 55” modelling scenarios suggest some limited role of gaseous fuels that will increasingly be decarbonised in heavy- duty road transport especially in the long haul segment. FurthermoreOn the other hand, LPNG and CNG vehicles for which already a sufficient infrastructure network exists across the Union are expected to gradually be replaced by zero emission drivetrains and therefore only a limited targeted policy for LNG infrastructure deployment that can equally supply decarbonised fuels is considered necessary to close remaining gaps in the main networksbioLNG is the only available and competitive solution to cut GHG emissions of the heavy-duty sector, and LNG stations network in Europe remains insufficient to match the demand and decarbonisation needs of the sector towards 2030 and beyond, and they should be further deployed.

Recital 11
(11) Implementation in Member States should ensure that a sufficient number of publicly accessible recharging points is installed, in particular at public transport stations, such as port passenger terminals, airports or railway stations. A sufficient number of publicly accessible fast recharging points dedicated to light-duty vehicles should also be deployed to increase consumer convenience in particular across the TEN-T network, the main roads and urban areas, to ensure full cross-border connectivity and allow electric vehicles to circulate throughout the Union.

Recital 11 a (new)
(11 a) Implementation in Member States should take into account that incertain portions of their territory, usually out of main urban centers, the demand for an adequate number of charging points can vary throughout the year, as it is the case in many touristic destinations. In these cases the possibility of deploying a temporary mobile off-grid charging infrastructure would help those territories meet the seasonal demand without forcing the installation of fixed infrastructure that would not be of use in other times of the year and avoiding negative environmental impacts.

(13) Electric heavy-duty vehicles need a distinctively different recharging infrastructure than light-duty vehicles. Public accessible infrastructure for electric heavy-duty vehicles is however currently almost unowhere available in the Union. Therefore, it will require a substantially longer period for its development than the infrastructure for light-duty vehicles. A combined approach of distance-based targets along the TEN-T network, targets for overnight recharging infrastructure and targets at urban nodes should ensure that a sufficient publicly accessible infrastructure coverage for electric heavy-duty vehicles is established throughout the Union to support the expected market uptake of battery electric heavy-duty vehicles.
Amendment 223 #

Recital 21
Recital 21
(21) The increasing number of electric vehicles in road, rail, maritime and other transport modes will require that recharging operations are optimised and managed in a way that does not cause congestion and takes full advantage of the availability of renewable electricity and low electricity prices in the system. Smart recharging points as well as off-grid recharging points, in particular, can facilitate the integration of electric vehicles into the electricity system furtherand reduce the impact of electric vehicles on the electricity distribution network, as it enables demand response through aggregation and through price based demand response. System integration can further be facilitated through bi-directional recharging (vehicle-to-grid). All normal recharging points at which vehicles are typically parked for a longer period should therefore support smart recharging.;

Recital 22
(22) The development of on-grid and off-grid infrastructure for electric vehicles, the interaction of that infrastructure with the electricity system, and the rights and responsibilities assigned to the different actors in the electric mobility market, have to be consistent with the principles established under Directive (EU) 2019/944. In that sense, distribution system operators should cooperate on a non-discriminatory basis with any person establishing or operating publicly accessible recharging points and Member States should ensure that the electricity supply for a recharging point can be the subject of a contract with a supplier other than the entity supplying electricity to the household or premises where this recharging point is located. The access of Union electricity suppliers to recharging points should be without prejudice to the derogations under Article 66 of Directive (EU) 2019/944.
Amendment 236 #

Recital 23
Recital 23
(23) The establishment and operation of recharging points for electric vehicles should be developed as a competitive market with open access to all parties interested in rolling-out or operating recharging infrastructures, on-grid and off- grid. In view of the limited alternative locations on highways, existing highway concessions such as for conventional refuelling stations or rest areas are a particular cause for concern, since they can run over very long periods and sometimes even lack a specified end date altogether. Member States should seek, to the extent possible and in compliance with Directive (EU) 2014/23 of the European Parliament and of the Council53 , to competitively award new concessions specifically for recharging stations on or adjacent to existing highway rest areas in order to limit deployment cost and enable new market entrants. _________________ 53 Directive 2014/23/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014 on the award of concession contracts (OJ L 94, 28.3.2014, p. 1).

Recital 28
(28) At the early stage of market deployment there is still a degree of uncertainty with regard to the kind of vehicles that will come into the market and to the kind of technologies that are going to be widely used. As outlined in the Commission’s communication ‘A hydrogen strategy for a climate-neutral Europe’56 the heavy-duty segment was identified as the most likely segment for the early mass deployment of hydrogen vehicles. Therefore, hydrogen refuelling infrastructure should preliminarily focus on that segment while also allowing light-duty vehicles to fuel at publicly accessible hydrogen refuelling stations. To ensure interoperability, all publicly accessible hydrogen stations should at least serve gaseous hydrogen at 700 bar. The infrastructure roll out should also take into account the emergence of new technologies, such as high-density hydrogen (hydrogen >50 kg/m3) e.g. in the form of cryo-compressed gas or cryo- liquid hydrogen, that allow a larger range for heavy-duty vehicles and are the preferred technology choice of some vehicle manufacturers. To that end, a minimum number of hydrogen refuelling stations should serve also high density hydrogen, cryo-compressed gas or cryo- liquid hydrogen in addition to gaseous hydrogen at 700 bar. _________________ 56 COM(2020) 301 final

(29) A number of LNG refuelling points are established in the Union, already providing a backbone for the circulation of LNG driven heavy-duty vehicles. The TEN-T core network should remain the basis for the deployment of LNG infrastructure, and progressively for bio- LNG, as it covers the main traffic flows and allows cross border connectivity throughout the Union. It had been recommended in Directive 2014/94/EU that such refuelling points be installed every 400 km on the TEN-T core network, but certain limitedimportant gaps in the network remain across the EU to reach that objective, especially in Eastern European countries where LNG stations are still present in insufficient numbers. Member States should by 20258 reach that objective and fill the remaining gaps, after which the target should cease to apply should be able to further support the extension of their network in line with their decarbonisation pathway.

(54) The market for alternative fuels and in particular for zero emission fuels is still in the early stages of development and technology is evolving fast. This should likely affect the demand for alternative fuels and consequently for alternative fuels infrastructure across the modes. The Commission should therefore review this Regulation by the end of 20268 in particular as regards the targets setting for electric recharging points for HDV as well as targets for infrastructure for alternative fuels for zero-emission vessels and aircraft in waterborne transport and aviation.
