Recital 10 a (new)
(10a) The promotion of energy from renewable resources should aim to achieve the utmost resource efficiency, in line with the principles of circular economy and cascading use, in particular with respect to forest and agricultural biomass.

Recital 16
Recital 16
(16) Electricity generation from renewable sources should be deployed atwith the lowbest possible cost-efficiency for consumers and taxpayers. When designing support schemes and when allocating support, Member States should seek to minimise the overall system cost of deployment, taking full account of grid and system development needs, including the development of high-voltage, electric power transmission systems, the resulting energy mix, and the long term potential of technologies.

Amendment 454 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 7 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 4
Article 7 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 4
For the calculation of a Member State’s gross final consumption of energy from renewable energy sources, the contribution from biofuels and bioliquids, as well as from biomass fuels consumed in transport, if produced from food or feed crops, shall be no more than 7% of final consumption of energy in road and rail transport in that Member State. This limit shall be reduced to 3,80% in 2030 following the trajectory set out in part A of Annex X. Member States may set a lower limit and may distinguish between different types of biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels produced from food and feed crops, for instance by setting a lower limit for the contribution from food or feed crop based biofuels produced from oil crops, taking into account indirect land use change.

By means of best available techniques (BAT) and of an overall cap for the share of solid biomass in heating installations, Member States shall ensure that total emissions of PM 2,5 addressed by Directive 2016/2284/EU decrease by at least 49 percent, in the domestic heating sector within the EU (by 2030, compared to 2005).
Amendment 638 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 25 – paragraph 3 – subparagraph 1
Article 25 – paragraph 3 – subparagraph 1
3. To determine the share of renewable electricity for the purposes of paragraph 1 either the average share of electricity from renewable energy sources in the Union or the share of electricity from renewable energy sources in the Member State where the electricity is supplied, as measured two years before the year in question mayshall be used. In both cases, aAn equivalent amount of guarantees of origin issued in accordance with Article 19 shall be cancelled. However, electricity obtained from a direct connection to an installation generating electricity exclusively from renewable energy that is not connected to the grid may be fully counted as renewable electricity.
Amendment 645 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 25 – paragraph 3 – subparagraph 3 – point a – subparagraph 1
Article 25 – paragraph 3 – subparagraph 3 – point a – subparagraph 1
(a) When electricity is used for the production of renewable liquid and gaseous transport fuels of non-biological origin, either directly or for the production of intermediate products, either the average share of electricity from renewable energy sources in the Union or the share of electricity from renewable energy sources in the country of production, as measured two years before the year in question, may be used to determine the share of renewable energy. In both cases, aAn equivalent amount of guarantees of origin issued in accordance with Article 19 shall be cancelled.
Amendment 654 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 25 – paragraph 3 – subparagraph 3 – point a – subparagraph 2
Article 25 – paragraph 3 – subparagraph 3 – point a – subparagraph 2
However, electricity obtained from direct connection to an installation generating renewable electricity exclusively from renewable energy (i) that comes into operation after or at the same time as the installation producing the renewable liquid and gaseous transport fuel of non- biological origin and (ii) is not connected to the grid, can be fully counted as renewable electricity for the production of that renewable liquid and gaseous transport fuel of non-biological origin.
