T&E welcomes the Commission’s initiative to align the ETS directive with the EU’s 2030 target of at least -55% emissions reduction and to ensure that all sectors contribute, in line with the EU’s international commitment to economy-wide action under the Paris Agreement. However, T&E regrets that the Commission is considering to switch gear on tackling emissions in the road sector.

The Dutch Platform Renewable Fuels welcomes the extension of the ETS to include road transport and the maritime sector. It provides a clear path towards a net zero, climate neutral 2050. In particular we support the proposed reduction path that sets an inevitable over years decreasing ceiling for the deployment of fossil fuels.

This response is about the inclusion of 1)shipping and 2)road transport into the ETS: 1.SHIPPING Shipping accounts for around 3.5% of the EU’s total GHG emissions, but has so far avoided regulation on its climate impact. Integrating shipping into the ETS is a positive step in the right direction and will put shipping on the path towards climate neutrality in line with the Paris Agreement.

we welcome to input on the call for evidence for the impact assessment for the RED 4. Our input will focus on the transport framework. We would like to forward our analysis about the role of renewable electricity that will reduce the volumes of renewable liquid and gaseous fuels, but not the fossil fuels volumes. Therefore RED 4 needs to pull electrons and molecules apart.

The Renewable Energy Directive (RED) must remain the backbone of the EUs post-2030 energy framework. As Europe faces yet another energy crisis, it is crucial that we finally put an end to our dependence on fossil fuels and strengthen the role of domestic renewable energy.

We welcome the EC initiative to develop an effective EU regulation to drive the uptake of sustainable alternative fuels in EU shipping. We agree with the EC assessment that creating a predictable demand in the shipping industry is essential for the investment and mass scale deployment of sustainable alternative fuels.

The Dutch Platform Renewable Fuels much appreciates the ‘Fit for 55’ proposals on the effects these will have on reducing the climate impact of the energy use in the international maritime sector. The Platform considers the focus of the proposed FuelEU Maritime Regulation rightly placed on reducing the climate impact, with a much-valued long-term horizon.
