As part of the 'Fit for 55' package, the Commission presented a legislative proposal to review the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS). The aim of the review is to align the EU ETS Directive with the EU target set out in the European Climate Law to reduce net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 55 % by 2030, compared to 1990 levels. To this end, the amount of emission allowances would be reduced, fewer allowances would be allocated for free, and the ETS would be extended to maritime transport. This would reduce emissions in the ETS sectors by 61 % by 2030, compared to 2005. A separate new emissions trading system would be established for fuel distribution for road transport and buildings.

EPRS - Review of the EU ETS

The Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety (ENVI) adopted on Thursday, with 74 votes in favour, 8 against and 5 abstentions, its position on proposed rules to govern the entire battery product life cycle, from design to end-of-life. Rapporteur Simona BONAFÈ (S&D, IT), explaines that the report includes the possibility for any citizen to remove these batteries on their own and also having batteries that are more accessible to consumers. She also stressed that the EP added an ad hoc category: “Light Means of Transport” (batteries used for electric cars and also for mopeds, scooters) for these forms of batteries that will be increasingly used and available on the market.

Los buques de carga son relativamente ecológicos si los comparamos con las emisiones que producen los camiones en un trayecto similar. Pero el transporte por carretera se está modernizando. La flota tiene que ponerse al día para seguir siendo competitiva. En Rumanía, una compañía de navegación fluvial que opera cerca de 500 buques a lo largo del Danubio, participa en un proyecto de investigación europeo para hacer que los buques sean más ecológicos

Futuris: Cómo hacer que el transporte fluvial sea más ecológico

Os transportes fluviais são uma boa opção para deslocar mercadorias não urgentes. Mas como reduzir as emissões poluentes que provocam? Os pequenos cargueiros produzem menos emissões poluentes do que os camiões, por exemplo. Mas os transportes rodoviários estão a modernizar-se mais rapidamente. Uma companhia romena, a Navrom, que opera cerca de 500 embarcações no rio Danúbio, colabora com um projeto de cientistas europeus, chamado Prominent, para tornar a sua frota mais amiga do ambiente.
