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.

PLINOVODI d.o.o. as a TSO of gas infrastructure would like to highlight that low carbon and renewable gases, such as green hydrogen, biogas and e-gases will play important role to decarbonize the EU ETS 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.

The 2030 energy efficiency (EE) objective was set at 32.5% based on a GHG emissions reduction target of 80-95% by 2050. Consequently, in order to reach carbon neutrality by 2050, the 2030 EE objective should be increased accordingly. Iberdrola strongly supports the proposal to increase this value to 36%.

PLINOVODI d.o.o. as a transmission system operator in Slovenia supports stronger promotion of energy efficiency in all areas of the energy system and in all relevant sectors, where activity affects energy demand, as well as energy efficiency first principle as its key role.

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.

Company Plinovodi, as a transmission system operator in Slovenia, supports the ambitions of Commision to harmonise energy tax legislation in EU. However, there shall be enough flexibility to accomodate specific situation in different Member states. Please find below two proposals in this direction.

Electrification is the most effective, efficient and sustainable way to decarbonise the transport sector, achieve EU’s long-term climate objectives and reduce air pollution. The electric vehicle (EV) is the real, competitive and mature alternative to decarbonise road transport at least cost, contributing at the same time to ALL the energy and climate objectives: renewable, energy efficient (2-3 times more efficient…

We support intention to strengthen reducing of emissions in road transport. This sector has indeed played and will play a key role. We support the deployment of battery electric vehicles (especially in light transport), fuel-cell electric vehicles using hydrogen and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.

Plinovodi, the Slovenian gas TSO, is summarizing its feedback in bellow points: 1. Application of Internal Energy Market rules to H2 market as H2 system is interoperable with other systems, with additional elements that reflect the particularities of H2 business.

• 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.

Plinovodi welcomes the European Commission’s publication of the recast Gas Directive and agrees with the response given by ENTSOG, with further emphasis highlighted bellow. The opinion of the TSO company Plinovodi is that the introduction of an ITC mechanism for hydrogen would be unnecessarily complex, costly and overly burdensome for Slovenia.

Plinovodi welcomes the European Commission’s publication of the recast Gas Regulation and agrees with the response given by ENTSOG, with further emphasis highlighted bellow. Plinovodi especially supports the removal or extension of the time limitation for the financial transfers between regulated services for gas and hydrogen as in some Member States the hydrogen market does not even exists yet or is not mature…

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.

PLINOVODI d.o.o. as a TSO of gas infrastructure would like to highlight full support for further expanding deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure, since certain limited gaps in the network and infrastructure remain and prevent some member states to reach the objective. We are of opinion that by 2025 or at least by 2030 member states should fill the remaining gaps.

Plinovodi, the Slovenian gas TSO has summarized remarks on the proposal for a Regulation on methane emissions reduction in the energy sector in the text bellow. The Regulation will introduce a relatively complex system for managing methane emissions in gas transmission systems, which will represent a major challenge for system operators to establish effective detection, control and reporting of emissions.

We completely agree that air pollution produced by ships at berth is a significant concern for coastal areas and port cities. And it is understandable that specific and stringent obligations should be imposed to reduce emissions at berth from ships that draw power from their engines during their stay in port. Their emissions should be addressed as a priority.
