-- 欧州委員会は火曜日、EUのクリーンエネルギー目標を支援するため、チェコ共和国のバイオメタン開発計画(総額37億ユーロ、43億7000万ドル)を承認したと発表した。 欧州委員会は、バイオメタン生産施設への資金提供を目的としたこの計画を承認した。これはクリーン産業協定に沿ったものであり、低炭素経済への移行を支援するものだと同委員会は述べた。 欧州委員会によると、この計画により、持続可能なバイオメタンの生産能力が約3億5000万標準立方メートル増加する見込みだ。 支援は、双方向差金決済契約(CFD)を用いた直接価格メカニズムを通じて提供される。バイオメタン生産者は、15年間固定のストライク価格に基づき、メガワット時当たりの支払いを受ける。 欧州委員会によると、この制度では、ガス価格がストライク価格を下回った場合、国が生産者に補償を行い、価格がストライク価格を上回った場合は、企業がその差額を返済する。 欧州委員会によると、プロジェクトは競争入札によって選定される。 欧州委員会は、この計画が明確な予算、明確な生産目標、市場原理に基づく設計を理由に、クリーン産業ディール国家補助枠組みの規則に準拠していると述べた。 テレサ・リベラ執行副委員長は、37億ユーロ規模のこの計画は、輸送と暖房向けのEUバイオメタン生産量を拡大し、チェコ共和国の排出量削減に貢献すると述べた。 さらに同副委員長は、この措置は公平な競争条件を維持しながら、よりクリーンで安全かつ競争力のあるエネルギーシステムを支援すると付け加えた。
