EU strategy on heating and cooling (A8-0232/2016 - Adam Gierek) FR
Amendments (11)
Amendment 16 #
2. Recalls that heating and cooling constitute the largest share of the EU’s energy demand; emphasises that a European gas crisis would be a heat crisis; emphasises the importance of technology-neutral and market-based incentives in the transition to a low-carbon and secure energy supply to the heating and cooling sector and of focusing not only on a component level, such as buildings;
Amendment 25 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital B
Recital B
B. whereas – although there is potential, especially where biomass is concerned – the share of RES energy in heating and cooling in the Member States is insufficient;
Amendment 69 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 5
Paragraph 5
5. Underlines the widespread availability of solid and gaseous biomass and the potential for high-efficiency cogeneration district heating as a cost- efficient means of decarbonising the energy sector while also contributing to security of supply objectives; emphasises that a European gas crisis would be a heat crisisprovided that sustainability criteria are complied and that it strictly respects the principle of waste hierarchy and so it actually contribute to reducing emissions from the energy sector ;
Amendment 74 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 5 a (new)
Paragraph 5 a (new)
5 a. Underlines that the sustainable use of the various forms of biomass available at local level contributes not only to the Energy Union's objectives (security of supply, energy efficiency, decarbonisation, innovation, competitiveness) and climate policies but also to the achievement of a circular economy.
Amendment 78 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital G
Recital G
G. whereas natural gas isand biomethane are becoming ever more important in heating given that they are easy to store and the chemical energy stored in ithem can be converted into heat energy highly efficiently;
Amendment 89 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 6 a (new)
Paragraph 6 a (new)
6 a. Recalls the contribution of renewable energies to energy supply security in Europe, underlines the high reactivity of hydraulic production to peak demands and blackout risks;
Amendment 117 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 1 a (new)
Paragraph 1 a (new)
1a. Is of the opinion that demand for heating will remain an essential component of the energy system in the future; calls on the Commission to reduce the demand for buildings and to link the remaining demand to such sources as might be sustainable in the particular local context, proceeding from a cost- effectiveness analysis;
Amendment 152 #
4. Highlights the fundamental role of RES, and in particular biomass combined with cogeneration, photovoltaic cells, and solar panels, in the heating of water and the provision of thermal comfort in buildings, in conjunction with thermal storage facilities that can be used at night;
Amendment 157 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4 a (new)
Paragraph 4 a (new)
4a. Points to the economic potential and short-term profitability of energy efficiency and energy retrofitting solutions for non-residential buildings; calls on the Commission to encourage and promote investment in solutions making for smart building energy consumption management and to integrate electricity systems more effectively with heating and cooling systems;
Amendment 213 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 7
Paragraph 7
7. Stresses that in dense urban agglomerations it is imperative that the use ofthe use of the most polluting coal- and oil-fired individual heating systems that depend on fossil fuelsshould gradually be restricted and replaced with large-scale localcentralised or decentralised cogeneration systems that produce heat and electricity;
Amendment 241 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 8
Paragraph 8
8. Notes that outdabsoleted heating plantsystems with low energy efficiency should be replaced by small, environmentally- friendly CHP plants that use natural gas or other green fuels such as biogas;
