Translation of "Système d'énergie non basé sur le carbone " (French → English) :

(iii) contributing to sustainable development and protection of the environment, notably by fostering the integration of energy from renewable sources into the transmission and distribution network, improving energy efficiency and developing smart energy networks and carbon dioxide networks, to be measured by the transmission of renewable energy from generation to major consumption centres and storage sites, the proportion of demand response enabled, the number of smart electricity grids, and the sum of CO2 emissions prevented by the construction of the projects which benefited from the Connecting Europe Facility, as well as the total ou ...[+++]tput from the renewable energy sources integrated into the European energy system.

23. Calls on the EU to consider the full integration of the heating and cooling sector in the pathways towards a low-carbon 2050 energy system; notes that this sector represents today some 45 % of final energy consumption in Europe, and that a better understanding of the important role of heating and cooling in terms of low-carbon energy systems is needed;

Partnerships between sectors could accelerate the development and wide-scale roll-out of ICT-based solutions for monitoring, managing and measuring energy-use and carbon emissions in energy-using activities, thus helping to provide a reliable basis for energy-saving and emissions-reducing decisions.

Energy-intensive industries which are determined to be exposed to a significant risk of carbon leakage could receive a higher amount of free allocation or an effective carbon equalisation system could be introduced with a view to putting installations from the Community which are at significant risk of carbon leakage and those from third countries on a comparable footing.

Assessments made in the context of the EU’s Roadmap for moving to a competitive low carbon economy in 2050[24] and the Energy Roadmap 2050[25] see CCS, if commercialised, as an important technology contributing to the transition to a low carbon energy system in the EU.

It calls for the implementation of six new priority European industrial initiatives (industry-led programmes: wind, solar, CCS, grids, bioenergy and sustainable fission) and the establishment of the European Energy Research Alliance (research-led programmes).
