EU Winter Climate and Energy Package – A Cicero/amo overview

This week, the European Commission published a package of proposals on energy consumption, climate change and transport. The texts published complement the ‘Fit for 55’ package presented in July, continuing the Commission’s mission to deliver on the European Green Deal.

The Commission is doubling its efforts to tackle emissions from the buildings and transport sector, two sectors that have lagged behind in reducing emissions. Notable announcements include a revision to the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, along with several publications promoting sustainable and smart mobility.

The Commission is also proposing a revision to the functioning Third Gas Package, a timely update given the EU’s new political interest in hydrogen, as well as the ongoing energy crisis. It also presented a Communication on encouraging sustainable carbon cycles within the European economy, setting out how the Commission seeks to support carbon farming as an economic activity.
