Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2085 of 14 December 2020 amending and correcting Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2066 on the monitoring and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions pursuant to Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (Text with EEA relevance)
Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2085of 14 December 2020amending and correcting Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2066 on the monitoring and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions pursuant to Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(Text with EEA relevance)THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 2003 establishing a system for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Union and amending Council Directive 96/61/ECOJ L 275, 25.10.2003, p. 32., and in particular Article 14(1) thereof,Whereas:(1)Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2066Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2066 of 19 December 2018 on the monitoring and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions pursuant to Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and amending Commission Regulation (EU) No 601/2012 (OJ L 334, 31.12.2018, p. 1). lays down rules for the monitoring and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions from the activities subject to Directive 2003/87/EC. In particular, Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2066 lays down rules on the monitoring of emissions from biomass which are consistent with the rules on the use of biomass laid down in Directive 2009/28/EC of the European Parliament and of the CouncilDirective 2009/28/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources and amending and subsequently repealing Directives 2001/77/EC and 2003/30/EC (OJ L 140, 5.6.2009, p. 16).. Directive (EU) 2018/2001 of the European Parliament and of the CouncilDirective (EU) 2018/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2018 on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources (OJ L 328, 21.12.2018, p. 82). repeals Directive 2009/28/EC with effect from 1 July 2021. It is therefore appropriate to align the provisions regarding the monitoring and reporting of emissions from biomass laid down in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2066 with the rules laid down in Directive (EU) 2018/2001, in particular as regards the relevant definitions and the sustainability and greenhouse gas emission saving criteria for the use of biomass. Furthermore, since Directive (EU) 2018/2001 lays down the sustainability and greenhouse gas emissions saving criteria for fuels when used for energy purposes, the sustainability criteria for biomass under Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2066 should apply only in the case of combustion of biomass in an installation or as a biofuel for aviation. For reasons of legal certainty, it is also necessary to clarify that where the biomass used for combustion does not comply with the sustainability and greenhouse gas emission saving criteria, its carbon content should be considered as fossil carbon.(2)Pursuant to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/331Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/331 of 19 December 2018 determining transitional Union-wide rules for harmonised free allocation of emission allowances pursuant to Article 10a of Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 59, 27.2.2019, p. 8). and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1842Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1842 of 31 October 2019 laying down rules for the application of Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards further arrangements for the adjustments to free allocation of emission allowances due to activity level changes (OJ L 282, 4.11.2019, p. 20)., the operator of an installation applying for free allocation of allowances in accordance with Article 10a of Directive 2003/87/EC is required to include the relevant monitoring provisions in a monitoring methodology plan, subject to approval of the competent authority. No further elements need to be included in the monitoring plans of installations to which free allocation is given. Accordingly, it is no longer necessary to provide the Member States with the possibility to require the inclusion of such elements.(3)During the transition phase between the notification of a modification of a monitoring plan and the approval of the new modified monitoring plan by the competent authority, any gap in the monitoring or any application of a less accurate methodology should be avoided. It should therefore be clarified that data collection in this transition period should be based on both the original and the modified monitoring plan and that records should be kept of both monitoring results.(4)With a view of ensuring accurate monitoring of source streams involving biogas injected into a gas grid, the rules on determination of the activity data from biogas should be improved and strengthened. In particular, the determination of the biomass fraction should depend on the actual purchase of biogas by the operator, and any potential double counting of the same biogas by different users should be avoided. On the basis of experience gained in application of the methodology for determining the biomass fraction of natural gas from a gas grid, the Commission will assess the need for a review of that methodology.(5)Due to typical administrative and practical procedures at aerodromes, it is difficult to ascertain to which aircraft a batch of fuel is physically uplifted. Since aviation fuels are uniform in technical specifications, it is therefore appropriate to allow a monitoring approach for biofuel uplifts based on purchase data, provided that the relevant requirements laid down in Articles 29, 30 and 31 of Directive (EU) 2018/2001 are complied with.(6)For consistency reasons, the rounding of data on emissions of greenhouse gases should be aligned with the way verified emissions are rounded in the Union Registry established in accordance with Article 19 of Directive 2003/87/EC.(7)In order to reduce administrative burden for operators using certain mixed process materials, the distinction between inorganic carbon, mostly in form of carbonates, and organic carbon should be avoided where possible. In order to align common laboratory practice with the terminology of different source stream types, it is appropriate to include all forms of carbon in the same approach for process emissions. Therefore, the analysis of total carbon of a material instead of separate treatment of total inorganic carbon and total organic carbon should be allowed where possible. As a consequence, the expression "non-carbonate carbon" should be used instead of "organic carbon" to refer to all forms of carbon except carbonates.(8)The fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate ChangeColumn "GWP 100-year" in Table 8.A.1 of Appendix 8.A of the report "Climate Change 2013: The Physical Science Basis. Contribution of Working Group I to the Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change", p. 731; available at https://www.ipcc.ch/assessment-report/ar5/ provides new values for global warming potentials of greenhouse gases. The global warming potentials of greenhouse gases used in the EU Emission Trading System should therefore be adapted to those values and aligned with other Union acts.(9)Following the publication of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2066, an error has been detected in a formula used to determine the emissions of C2F6. That error should be corrected.(10)Member States are to transpose Directive (EU) 2018/2001 by 30 June 2021. As the monitoring and reporting under Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2066 takes place on a calendar year basis, the amendments made in order to align the provisions of that Regulation to Directive (EU) 2018/2001 should start to apply only as of the beginning of the subsequent reporting period, that is from 1 January 2022. The date of application for the other amendments and the correction should be the same as for Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2066, that is 1 January 2021. Accordingly, the existing provisions of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2066 on the monitoring and reporting on CO2 emissions from biomass in accordance with Directive 2009/28/EC should continue to apply for the emissions occurring in 2021.(11)Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2066 should therefore be amended and corrected accordingly.(12)The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Climate Change Committee,HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
