EU styrker mål for reduktion af CO2-emissioner

I sidste uge annoncerede EU, at der er opnået enighed om at styrke CO₂-reduktionsmål for medlemslande samt i jord- og skovbrug. De nye lovforslag er en del af ’Fit for 55’ lovforslagene, som er EU’s klimalovpakke.

Ifølge EU bør medlemslandene:  “Pending a formal adoption, the provisional deal endorses an EU-level greenhouse gas emission reduction target of 40% compared to 2005, by 2030, for the sectors not covered by the EU Emissions Trading System (EU-ETS), namely road and domestic maritime transport, buildings, agriculture, waste and small industries. The agreement keeps the increased national targets assigned to each member state as proposed by the Commission and adjusts the way member states can use existing flexibilities to meet their targets.”

For jord- og skovbrug er ambitionen: “Pending formal adoption, the Council and Parliament set an overall EU-level objective of 310 Mt CO2 equivalent of net removals in the LULUCF sector in 2030. The LULUCF sector covers the use of soils, trees, plants, biomass and timber and is responsible for both emitting and absorbing CO₂ from the atmosphere. The objective is to progressively increase absorptions and reduce emissions so that the EU-wide objective is reached.”
