If the EU unilaterally tightens up climate and energy policy targets, significantly strengthened protection measures for Industry are needed, because their pressure to shift is growing due to increasing energy and climate costs. Expanding the ETS as guidance instrument for investment in the location and the climate protection is necessary.

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.

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.

The Austrian Federal Economic Chamber (WKÖ) welcomes the initiative of the European Commission to review the legislative framework in order to design competitive decarbonised gas markets as a means to facilitate the gas sector’s contribution to the overall energy system decarbonisation.

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.

WKÖ supports the European Green Deal and stands by the climate neutrality goal by 2050. Now a concrete set of measures for a sustainable, ecological change in the EU, in line with a new growth strategy, is necessary. WKÖ will contribute to a legislative package that meets the requirements of effective climate protection and at the same time is practicable and compatible with economic prosperity.

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.

WKÖ supports the European Green Deal and stands by the climate neutrality goal by 2050. Now a concrete set of measures for a sustainable, ecological change in the EU, in line with a new growth strategy, is necessary. WKÖ will contribute to a legislative package that meets the requirements of effective climate protection and at the same time is practicable and compatible with economic prosperity.

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.

The Austrian Chamber of Commerce supports the climate objectives of the European Union. The WKÖ will promote legislation that meets the requirements of effective climate protection while being practicable and compatible with economic prosperity. Please find attached our detailed position paper on the proposal for a regulation on the proposed regulation on the reduction of CO2 emissions from heavy-duty vehicles.
