Decarbonisation price signals and a level playing field for all the available energy supply options are essential to tackle emissions and increase efficiency, both for consumers and emitters. The price of products must internalise their total environmental cost so those with a lower carbon footprint become more competitive.

France Hydrogène considers that the reform of the EU ETS carbon market is going in the right direction to strengthen the carbon price signal and encourage the transition to low-carbon technologies provided that adequate carbon leakage protection is guaranteed to trade intensive sectors.

IBERDROLA welcomes the “Fit for 55 Package” The Green Deal though the “Fit for 55 Package” offers a unique opportunity to set a proper regulatory framework that boosts momentum on the most efficient renewable alternatives to enable decarbonisation and the achievement of EU climate objectives.

Iberdrola shares with the Commission the views that energy taxation should be a tool for climate policy and preserving the internal EU market requires harmonised energy tax framework across the MSs as one of the keystones of the Green Deal to achieve climate neutrality in the EU by 2050. Decarbonisation is a must for the whole society involving all economic sectors.

Frances Hydrogène welcomes the recast of the Taxation Energy Directive (ETD) as presented in the “Fit for 55” legislative package. Rules on the taxation of fossil-based energies and clean energies emerging with new low-carbon technologies need to be updated, particularly to match the strengthened EU climate neutrality ambitions.

France Hydrogène welcomes the revision of the Gas Directive and Regulation in order to prepare the design of a competitive hydrogen market by 2030, as promoted in the EU Strategy on Hydrogen. Renewable and low-carbon hydrogen are efficient solutions to decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors such as chemicals, heavy industries, heavy-duty road transport, railway, aviation and shipping.

• This package should be framed within the 2030 and 2050 goals. Hence, it must: o be consistent with the goals and principles of the Green Deal; o respect the basic principles of liberalisation; o be aligned with the decarbonisation-enabling initiatives of the CEP; o be realistic regarding the contribution of hydrogen and gas to carbon neutrality (i.e.

• CROSS-SUBSIDIES BETWEEN DIFFERENT ENERGY CARRIERS. Cross-subsidies means deviating from the cost-reflective tariffs principle, thus distorting competition between different energy vectors, which is the essence of an efficient energy system integration according to Commission's Strategy itself.

Review of the “alternative fuel” definition Given the difficulty of reducing emissions of aviation and shipping, it is necessary to focus efforts on the decarbonisation of road transport to achieve carbon neutral economy by 2050.

France Hydrogène welcomes the new ambitions from the EU with the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation. The new Regulation will support the uptake of hydrogen refuelling stations (HRS), whose deployment will now become mandatory for Member States, instead of being optional as it was with the AFID.

The ReFuel Aviation Regulation will directly constrain airline companies to gradually switch to sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) to reduce their GHG emissions. Hydrogen technologies can play a future role for the decarbonation of the aviation sector, with two main applications.

France Hydrogène welcomes the initiative Refuel Aviation whose goal is to support the uptake of renewable fuels in the air transport. Either with fuel cells or H2 turbines, hydrogen-powered aircraft are not directly targeted by the Regulation as they are considered insufficiently mature technological options within the next 10 years.

France Hydrogène welcomes the initiative to support the uptake of renewable and low-carbon fuels in maritime transport. France Hydrogène particularly supports the agnostic and technologically neutral approach of the Regulation, offering a wide range of renewable and low-carbon fuel solutions to decarbonise the sector, such as hydrogen (gas or liquid), synthetic fuels (e-fuels), ammonia, or methanol.

France Hydrogène considers that the revision of the regulation (EU)2019/1242 represents a major potential lever for decarbonization of new heavy-duty vehicles. Some points of the revision must be given particular attention.
