6.15 Infrastructure enabling low-carbon road transport and public transport (climate change mitigation)

Kurzbeschreibung

Construction, modernisation, maintenance and operation of infrastructure that is required for zero tailpipe CO 2 operation of zero-emissions road transport, as well as infrastructure dedicated to transshipment, and infrastructure required for operating urban transport. The economic activities in this category could be associated with several NACE codes, in particular F42.11, F42.13, F71.1 and F71.20 in accordance with the statistical classification of economic activities established by Regulation (EC) No 1893/2006. An economic activity in this category is an enabling activity as referred to in Article 10(1), point (i), of Regulation (EU) 2020/852 where it complies with the technical screening criteria set out in this Section.

Technische Bewertungskriterien

Technical screening criteria Substantial contribution to climate change mitigation 1. The activity complies with one or more of the following criteria: (a) the infrastructure is dedicated to the operation of vehicles with zero tailpipe CO 2 emissions: electric charging points, electricity grid connection upgrades, hydrogen fuelling stations or electric road systems (ERS); _____________ ( 276 ) EU Construction and Demolition Waste Protocol (version of 4.6.2021: https://ec.europa.eu/growth/content/eu-construction-and- demolition-waste-protocol-0_en). ( 277 ) Directive 2002/49/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 June 2002 relating to the assessment and management of environmental noise (OJ L 189, 18.7.2002, p. 12). (b) the infrastructure and installations are dedicated to transhipping freight between the modes: terminal infra­ structure and superstructures for loading, unloading and transhipment of goods; (c) the infrastructure and installations are dedicated to urban and suburban public passenger transport, including associated signalling systems for metro, tram and rail systems. 2. The infrastructure is not dedicated to the transport or storage of fossil fuels. Do no significant harm (‘DNSH’) (2) Climate change adaptation The activity complies with the criteria set out in Appendix A to this Annex. (3) Sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources The activity complies with the criteria set out in Appendix B to this Annex. (4) Transition to a circular economy At least 70 % (by weight) of the non-hazardous construction and demolition waste (excluding naturally occurring material defined in category 17 05 04 in the European List of Waste established by Decision 2000/532/EC) generated on the construction site is prepared for reuse, recycling and other material recovery, including backfilling oper­ ations using waste to substitute other materials, in accordance with the waste hierarchy and the EU Construction and Demolition Waste Management Protocol ( 278 ). Operators limit waste generation in processes related construction and demolition, in accordance with the EU Construction and Demolition Waste Management Protocol and taking into account best available techniques and using selective demolition to enable removal and safe handling of hazardous substances and facilitate reuse and high-quality recycling by selective removal of materials, using available sorting systems for construction and demolition waste. (5) Pollution prevention and control Where relevant, noise and vibrations from use of infrastructure are mitigated by introducing open trenches, wall barriers or other measures and comply with Directive 2002/49/EC. Measures are taken to reduce noise, dust and pollutant emissions during construction or maintenance works. (6) Protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems The activity complies with the criteria set out in Appendix D to this Annex. Where relevant, maintenance of vegetation along road transport infra­ structure ensures that invasive species do not spread. Mitigation measures have been implemented to avoid wildlife collisions.
