Amendment 14 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital A
Recital A
A. whereas almost 50% of the energy used for heating and cooling in the EU is primary energyEU final energy consumption is used for heating and cooling;
Amendment 75 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital G
Recital G
G. whereas natural gas is becoming ever moreand in rural areas LPG has been playing and will play an important role in heating given that the chemical energy stored in it can be converted into heat energy highly efficiently;
Amendment 104 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph -1 a (new)
Paragraph -1 a (new)
-1a. Underlines that strategy shall prioritise sustainable and cost efficient solutions which will enable Member states to reach EU climate and energy policy goals; Notes that Member states heating and cooling sectors are very diverse due to their energy mix, climatic conditions, the efficiency of the building stock or industry intensity therefore flexibility in choosing adequate strategy solutions shall be ensured;
Amendment 136 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 3 a (new)
Paragraph 3 a (new)
3a. Stresses that building sector has high potential in reducing energy demand and CO2 emissions; underlines that further efforts are needed to increase building renovation rate; notes that attractive financial incentives, availability of highly competent experts at various levels, exchange and promotion of best practices are necessary to achieve this;
Amendment 207 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 7
Paragraph 7
7. Stresses that in dense urban agglomerations it is imperative that the use of individual heating systems that depend on fossil fuels be restricted and replaced with large-scale local cogeneration systems that produce heat and electricityinefficient and unsustainable individual or district heating/cooling systems are replaced with efficient district heating/cooling systems or are modernised with state-of-the-art heating/cooling technologies to shift to high-efficiency and renewable alternatives;
Amendment 222 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 7 a (new)
Paragraph 7 a (new)
7a. Believes that more information should be provided to EU citizens on the economic and climate benefits of deploying highly efficient district heating and cooling systems since in certain Member States there is a lack of historical heritage in this respect;
Amendment 233 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 8
Paragraph 8
8. Notes that outdated heating plants with low energy efficiency should be replaced by efficient district heating or by renewable sources or by small, environmentally- friendly CHP plants that use natural gas or other green fuelsrenewable energy;
Amendment 259 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 9
Paragraph 9
9. Expresses the view that, in Europe's temperate climate zone, reverse systems for heating (winter) and cooling (summer) using heat pumps could become very important under proper conditions (if low temperature heating and/or suitable heat source temperature is available);
Amendment 267 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 10
Paragraph 10
10. Takes the view that the Member States should explore the possibility of using heat from geothermal waters directly or from other sources indirectly, for example the heat contained in deep-sea mines which could, with the help of huge heat pumps, heat whole towns, not just individual buildings if suitable district heating infrastructure is available or it will be developed;
Amendment 278 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 12
Paragraph 12
12. Takes the view that the waste heat obtained through cogeneration in the production of electric energy in conventional power plants and from well isolated residential buildings using recuperative methods for recovering heat from ventilation system should play a much greater role in heating and cooling than before;
Amendment 304 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 14
Paragraph 14
14. Calls on the Commission to draw up a plan to promote the sustainable use of organic waste for heating and cooling connected to district heating and cooling systems as part of the 'Waste to energy' programme;
Amendment 334 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 17
Paragraph 17
17. Takes the view that heat exchangers can play a vital role in local cooling via the expansion of liquefied natural gas in LNG terminals(LNG);
Amendment 412 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 26
Paragraph 26
26. Takes the view that consumers must be made fully awareinformed of the technological and economic benefits of newsustainable heating and cooling systems and installations, so as to enable them to make the best possible choices; asks the Commission to make concrete proposals in the energy performance of buildings directive that will enable to increase the awareness about the efficiency of their installed heating systems;
Amendment 419 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 26
Paragraph 26
26. Takes the view that consumers must be made fully aware of the technological and economic benefits of new heating and cooling systems, so as to enable them to make the best possible choices; notes that households in remote and isolated locations may require particular attention and unique solutions;
