Fit for 55 package

Briefing 06-03-2024

The 'fit for 55' package of July and December 2021 was designed to realise the European Climate Law objectives: climate neutrality by 2050 and a 55 % reduction of net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030, compared with 1990 levels. It consisted of 13 interlinked proposals to revise existing EU climate and energy laws, and six new legislative proposals. All proposals, except the Energy Taxation Directive, have been adopted or agreed by the European Parliament and the Council of the EU. The package ...

In July 2023, the Commission tabled a package of proposals for the greening of freight transport. Among the three proposals is one on the revision of the Weights and Dimensions Directive, which sets limits for heavy goods vehicles in international road transport. The proposal seeks to further promote use of zero-emission trucks by allowing these to exceed the standard weight limits. It also seeks to clarify the rules on use of heavier and longer vehicles in cross-border transport operations between ...

On 30 November 2022, as part of the European Green Deal, the European Commission presented the legislative proposal for a Union certification framework for carbon removals. The initiative was first announced in the March 2020 new circular economy action plan and again highlighted in the climate target plan, as well as in the proposed 'fit for 55' revision of the regulation on land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF), as an essential tool to drive progress towards the 2050 climate neutrality ...

Überarbeitung der F-Gas-Verordnung

Auf einen Blick 10-01-2024

Am 5. April 2022 legte die Kommission einen Vorschlag für eine Verordnung über fluorierte Treibhausgase (F Gase) vor, mit der die geltende F-Gas-Verordnung aufgehoben werden soll. Der Vorschlag zielt darauf ab, die F-Gas-Emissionen weiter zu verringern. Dazu soll das bestehende Quotensystem geändert und das Angebot an teilfluorierten Kohlenwasserstoffen (HFKW) auf dem EU-Markt bis 2048 schrittweise auf 2,4 % des Niveaus von 2015 gesenkt werden. Außerdem ist vorgesehen, F-Gase in bestimmten Anwendungen ...

Überarbeitung der Ozon-Verordnung

Auf einen Blick 10-01-2024

Die Ozon-Verordnung ist das wichtigste Rechtsinstrument für ozonabbauende Stoffe. Obwohl sie weiterhin als zweckmäßig erachtet wird, ist es notwendig, die Emissionen von ozonabbauenden Stoffen im Einklang mit den Zielen des europäischen Grünen Deals und den im EU-Klimagesetz festgelegten Vorgaben weiter zu senken. Die Kommission hat im April 2022 einen Vorschlag zur Änderung der Verordnung vorgelegt. Am 5. Oktober 2023 wurde im Rahmen interinstitutioneller Verhandlungen eine vorläufige Einigung erzielt ...

The impact assessment (IA) provides a useful information package supporting the 'CountEmissionsEU' proposal. It presents a substantiated problem definition and illustrates the scale of the problems. The analysis relies on an external IA supporting study, stakeholder consultation and independent research. The IA assesses the economic, social and environmental impacts of all six policy options. It openly explains the assessment's limitations, in particular the fact that empirical evidence to underpin ...

CO2 emissions of new cars and vans

Auf einen Blick 04-12-2023

Road transport is responsible for almost a fifth of the EU's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The revision of the regulation on CO2 emission limits for new cars and vans under the 'fit for 55' package ensures an increasingly higher share of clean vehicles on European roads. All new cars registered after 2035 must be zero-emission vehicles. The new Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR) meanwhile provides for roll out of the necessary recharging points.

On 14 July 2021 the European Commission adopted the 'fit for 55' package, which adapts existing climate and energy legislation to meet the new EU objective of a minimum 55 % reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030. The 'fit for 55' package is part of the European Green Deal, which aims to put the EU firmly on the path towards climate neutrality by 2050. A key element in the 'fit for 55' package is the revision of the Renewable Energy Directive (RED II), to help the EU deliver the new ...

Carbon border adjustment mechanism

Auf einen Blick 30-11-2023

The carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM) puts a price on the carbon emissions of goods imported into the EU, thus levelling the playing field between EU industry, which is subject to a carbon price in the EU emissions trading system (EU ETS), and foreign producers in countries that do not have an equivalent system in place.

Revised Effort-sharing Regulation

Auf einen Blick 30-11-2023

The revised Effort-sharing Regulation (ESR) establishes more ambitious binding targets for each Member State for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in key sectors, and brings the effort-sharing legislation into line with the upgraded EU-wide emissions reduction target for 2030 to achieve climate neutrality by 2050.
