Recently, the European Commission proposed in a draft legislation that new cars sold in Europe starting from 2035 should achieve the goal of zero emissions. The European Commission believes that stricter environmental regulations will prompt EU member states to strengthen the construction of car charging infrastructure. Under the framework of the existing agreement, Europe may become the world's first zero-emission continent by 2050. However, there are still variables before the draft is officially adopted.
China Economic Net's comprehensive foreign news report Recently, the European Commission (European Commission) proposed in a draft legislation that starting from 2035, new cars sold in Europe should achieve the goal of zero emissions. Before that-new cars should reduce emissions by 65% in 2030, which is at least 55% tighter than the 1990 emission standards.
The European Commission believes that the achievement of the zero-emission target for automobiles is conducive to ensuring that the European economy and climate goals are in line. In addition, stricter environmental regulations will prompt EU member states to increase investment in car charging infrastructure. For example, EU member states are required to ensure that a charging station is established every 60 kilometers on major highways; the maximum interval between hydrogen refueling stations is 150 Kilometers.
It is reported that the European Commission’s reform of new car emission targets is part of achieving the EU’s climate goals. The European Commission said that it is expected that the package announced on July 14 will also include a proposal that the European Union’s renewable energy power generation ratio will change from The current 32% has increased to 40%.
The European Commission believes that under the framework of its existing agreement, Europe may become the world's first zero-emission continent by 2050. To achieve its goals, Europe needs to completely reform all aspects of the economy, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions from transportation and industry. This is its biggest challenge.
In addition, the European Commission will also propose to expand its carbon trading market this week. It will also amend the energy tax law to impose climate taxes on emissions-intensive products entering the EU to reduce the use of fossil fuels. In industries not yet covered by the carbon trading market, the European Commission will also set stricter climate indicators for member states.
However, there are still variables before the draft is officially adopted, because according to regulations, EU executive agencies cannot comment on the draft legislation.
