Paragraph 75
75. Considers it essential to secure a sustainable and affordable energy supply in Europe; calls, therefore, for continuous support for investments ensuring the diversification of energy sources, increasing energy security and enhancing energy efficiency, including by CEF Energy; asks to focus the support towards the objectives of Article 194(1) TFEU; stresses therefore the need to reorient CEF Energy support in gas infrastructure to investments aimed at decarbonizing the gas supply (biogas, green hydrogen, synthetic methane,...); stresses in particular the importance of providing for comprehensive support, especially for carbon-intensive regions, energy transition, transition to a low- carbon economy, the modernisation of power generation and grids, carbon capture storage and utilisation technologies, and the modernisation of district heating; considers that the transformation of the energy sector in the light of the climate objectives should be supported by the creation of an Energy Transition Fund under the next MFF that would facilitate the structural changes in energy-intensive industries and carbon-intensive electricity production plants, and create incentives for low-carbon investments and innovative solutions;
