On 9 December 2020, the European Commission put forward the Sustainable and smart mobility strategy to transform the EU transport system in line with the European Green Deal and the EU's Digital Strategy. The Commission pledges to reduce the dependence on fossil fuels by replacing existing fleets with low- and zero- emission vehicles and increasing the use of renewable and low-carbon fuels. Second, to increase the use of the less polluting modes and shift a substantial part of today’s inland freight carried by road (75%) onto rail and inland waterways.In Parliament, the Committee on Transport and Tourism (TRAN) is preparing an own-initiative report on the strategy, under the lead of Ismail Ertug (S&D, Germany). The footage shows congested roads, road transport, e-cars, e-buses, hydrogen trucks, high-speed train, cargo train, hydrogen train, inland waterways transport, conventional airplanes and animation of future hybrid-hydrogen airplanes.

A revision of the Renewable Energy Directive as amended by Parliament’s Industry, Research and Energy Committee would raise the share of renewables in the EU's overall energy consumption to 45% by 2030. Under the proposal, renewables deployment in the transport sector should lead to a 16% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, through the use of higher shares of advanced biofuels and a more ambitious quota for renewable fuels of non-biological origin, like hydrogen. Closing statement by Markus PIEPER (EPP, DE), Rapporteur and Adina VĂLEAN, European Commissioner for Transport.

What does the EU do for us? It makes sure our food and products are safe. It connects Europe with safe infrastructure that makes travel cheaper and easier. The single market gives job opportunities to millions of EU citizens.  And calling home from any EU country is now cheaper than ever.  Not bad, right?

What has the EU ever done for me?

The European Green Deal, Fit for 55 package, Climate Law, Emissions Trading System, green finance… What is it all about? How does it work? And how is the EU tackling the growing threat of climate change?

Green Deal, Fit for 55, Climate Law… what are they?

The Transport (TRAN) Committee votes on new rules to increase the use of sustainable aviation fuels, such as synthetic fuel, used cooking oil or even hydrogen, by aircraft operators and EU airports, in order to cut emissions from aviation and ensure Europe becomes climate neutral continent by 2050 (part of "Fit for 55").

This infoclip aims to illustrate the legislative proposal to review the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS). As part of the 'Fit for 55' package, the aim of the review is to align the EU ETS Directive with target set out in the European Climate Law to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions by 55 % by 2030, compared to 1990 levels. The amount of emission allowances would be reduced, fewer allowances would be allocated for free, and the ETS would be extended to maritime transport. A separate new emissions trading system would be established for fuel distribution for road transport and buildings. The footage shows the building of the European Energy Exchange in Liepzig, Germany, which houses the EU ETS, the maritime transport sector, pollution, fuel distribution for road transport and fuel for heating buildings.

Infoclip: Fit for 55 – Revision of the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS)

The European Union is set to establish a Social Climate Fund to help citizens and businesses make the transition to clean energy. It comes as the bloc looks to extend its emissions trading system to buildings and road transport - part of efforts to reach carbon-zero by 2050. Parliament is pushing for a sustainable deal, which helps vulnerable households and tackles energy poverty. It also wants to help businesses become more energy efficient.
