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.

The Energy Taxation Directive was approved in 2003 and has needed a revision for several years. As it deals with member states taxation it needs unanimous approval. A taxation on fossil fuel content is often a cost-effective way to achieve decreased emissions. It has been poorly used, and while many members states, as is the Commission, look at a carbon tax, we have not seen it in practise.

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.

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…

The 2030-secretariate is committed to achieving a 70% CO2 reduction in the Swedish transport sector by 2030 and is thus strongly in favour of heightened ambitions for fuels, vehicles and mobility in the European market. We are eagerly awaiting the EU Smart and Sustainable Mobility Strategy in December - outside the scope of this feed-back, but an area where the Commission needs to step up its act.

The Swedish 2030 secret is an independent Think tank committed to the decree of the transport sector. We are not searched into any specific technological solution, the GHG reduction is what matters.Grow sooner than later — we cannot wait until electric vehicles dominate the light vehicle market in the mid 2030 's. The introduction of CO2 demands on new cars and vans on the European market has been successful.

The Swedish 2030 secretariat is an independent Think tank committed to the decarbonization of the transport sector. We are not looked into any specific technological solution, the GHG reduction is what matters. Rather sooner than later. The sustainability debate for aviation is quite recent, and it is welcome to see a stronger sustainability focus on aviation. The RefuelAviation Directive is an important step.

The sustainability debate for aviation is quite recent, and it is welcome to see a stronger sustainability focus on aviation. The RefuelAviation Directive is an important step. The RefuelAviation Directive is one of two new directives with a focus on strategic parts of the transport sector and are developed without any prior directives to “build on”.

The Swedish 2030-secretariat is an independent Think tank, committed to decarbonization of transport, but not locked into an specific technological solutions. GHG reduction is the target, sooner rather than later. The maritime sector dominates world trade. It is an energy efficient means of transport, but the scale of operations makes it a large contributor to global emissions.
