These two texts have too little in common to be compared paragraph by paragraph (under 15 % of their paragraphs match): they are different documents rather than versions of one — for example a group’s motion and the joint text that was adopted.

Removedd) cost-effective energy savings potential contribution ("Fpotential").

Removed3. Fflat represents the 2030 Union target that includes the additional efforts needed to reach the Union’s energy efficiency targets in FEC and PEC compared to the 2007 Reference Scenario projections for 2030.

Removed4. Fwealth shall be calculated for each Member State based on its three-year average Eurostat's real GDP per capita index to the Union’s three-year average over the 2017-2019 period, expressed in Purchasing power parities (PPPs).

Removed5. Fintensity shall be calculated for each Member State based on its three-year average final energy intensity (FEC or PEC per real GDP in PPPs) index to the Union’s three-year average over 2017-2019 period.

Removed6. Fpotential shall be calculated for each Member State based on the final or primary energy savings under the PRIMES MIX 55% scenario for 2030. The savings are expressed in relation to 2007 Reference Scenario projections for 2030.

Removed7. For each criteria provided in point 2(a) to (d), a lower and upper limit shall be applied. The level of ambition for each factor shall be capped at 50% and 150% of the Union average level of ambition under a given factor.

Removed8. The source of the input data used to calculate the factors is Eurostat unless stated otherwise.

Removed9. Ftotal shall be calculated as the weighted sum of all four factors (Fflat. Fwealth Fintensity and Fpotential). The target shall be then calculated as the product of the total factor Ftotal and the EU target.

Removed10. The Commission shall determine a primary and final energy correction factor CEU, which shall be applied to all Member States’ target allocations to calibrate the sum of all national contributions to the Union primary and final energy consumption targets in 2030. The factor CEU is identical for all Member States.

RemovedGENERAL PRINCIPLES FOR THE CALCULATION OF ELECTRICITY FROM COGENERATION

RemovedPart I

RemovedGeneral principles

RemovedValues used for calculation of electricity from cogeneration shall be determined on the basis of the expected or actual operation of the unit under normal conditions of use. For micro- cogeneration units the calculation may be based on certified values.

Removed(a) Electricity production from cogeneration shall be considered equal to total annual electricity production of the unit measured at the outlet of the main generators if following conditions are met:

Removed(i) in cogeneration units of types (b), (d), (e), (f), (g) and (h) referred to in Part II with an annual overall efficiency set by Member States at a level of at least 75 %;

Removed(ii) in cogeneration units of types (a) and (c) referred to in Part II with an annual overall efficiency set by Member States at a level of at least 80 %.

Removed(b) In cogeneration units with an annual overall efficiency below the value referred to in point (a)(i) (cogeneration units of types (b), (d), (e), (f), (g), and (h) referred to in Part II) or with an annual overall efficiency below the value referred to in point (a)(ii) (cogeneration units of types (a) and (c) referred to in Part II) electricity from cogeneration is calculated according to the following formula:

RemovedECHP=HCHP*C

Removedwhere:

RemovedECHP is the amount of electricity from cogeneration;

RemovedC is the power-to-heat ratio;

RemovedHCHP is the amount of useful heat from cogeneration (calculated for this purpose as total heat production minus any heat produced in separate boilers or by live steam extraction from the steam generator before the turbine).

RemovedThe calculation of electricity from cogeneration must be based on the actual power-to-heat ratio. If the actual power-to-heat ratio of a cogeneration unit is not known, the following default values may be used, in particular for statistical purposes, for units of types (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) referred to in Part II provided that the calculated cogeneration electricity is less or equal to total electricity production of the unit:

RemovedIf Member States introduce default values for power-to-heat ratios for units of types (f), (g), (h), (i), (j) and (k) referred to in Part II, such default values shall be published and shall be notified to the Commission.

Removed(c) If a share of the energy content of the fuel input to the cogeneration process is recovered in chemicals and recycled this share can be subtracted from the fuel input before calculating the overall efficiency used in points (a) and (b).

Removed(d) Member States may determine the power-to-heat ratio as the ratio of electricity to useful heat when operating in cogeneration mode at a lower capacity using operational data of the specific unit.

Removed(e) Member States may use other reporting periods than one year for the purpose of the calculations according to points (a) and (b).

RemovedPart II

RemovedCogeneration technologies covered by this Directive

Removed(a) Combined cycle gas turbine with heat recovery

Removed(b) Steam back pressure turbine

Removed(c) Steam condensing extraction turbine

Removed(g) Stirling engines

Removed(h) Fuel cells

Removed(i) Steam engines

Removed(j) Organic Rankine cycles

Removed(k) Any other type of technology or combination thereof falling under the definition laid down in point (32) of Article 2.

RemovedWhen implementing and applying the general principles for the calculation of electricity from cogeneration, Member States shall use the detailed Guidelines established by Commission Decision 2008/952/EC .

RemovedANNEX III

RemovedMETHODOLOGY FOR DETERMINING THE EFFICIENCY OF THE COGENERATION PROCESS

RemovedValues used for calculation of efficiency of cogeneration and primary energy savings shall be determined on the basis of the expected or actual operation of the unit under normal conditions of use.

Removed(a) High-efficiency cogeneration

RemovedFor the purpose of this Directive high-efficiency cogeneration shall fulfil the following criteria:

Removed– cogeneration production from cogeneration units shall provide primary energy savings calculated according to point (b) of at least 10 % compared with the references for separate production of heat and electricity;

Removed– production from small-scale and micro-cogeneration units providing primary energy savings may qualify as high-efficiency cogeneration;

Removed– direct emissions of the carbon dioxide from cogeneration production that is fuelled with fossil fuels, are less than 270 gCO2 per 1 kWh of energy output from the combined generation (including heating/cooling, power and mechanical energy).

Removed– When a cogeneration unit is built or substantially refurbished, Member States shall ensure that there is no increase in the use of fossil fuels other than natural gas in existing heat sources compared to the annual consumption averaged over the previous three calendar years of full operation before refurbishment, and that any new heat sources in that system do not use fossil fuels other than natural gas.

Removed(b) Calculation of primary energy savings

RemovedThe amount of primary energy savings provided by cogeneration production defined in accordance with Annex II shall be calculated on the basis of the following formula:

RemovedWhere:

RemovedPES is primary energy savings.

RemovedCHP Hη is the heat efficiency of the cogeneration production defined as annual useful heat output divided by the fuel input used to produce the sum of useful heat output and electricity from cogeneration.

RemovedRef Hη is the efficiency reference value for separate heat production.

RemovedCHP Eη is the electrical efficiency of the cogeneration production defined as annual electricity from cogeneration divided by the fuel input used to produce the sum of useful heat output and electricity from cogeneration. Where a cogeneration unit generates mechanical energy, the annual electricity from cogeneration may be increased by an additional element representing the amount of electricity which is equivalent to that of mechanical energy. This additional element does not create a right to issue guarantees of origin in accordance with Article 24(10).
