Under the Climate and Energy Package 2020, the EU is committed to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 20 per cent by 2020 from the 1990 level. The majority of the reduction will be reached as part of the EU emissions trading scheme (EU ETS): in 2020, emissions from sectors covered by the EU ETS will be 21 per cent lower than in 2005. Under the revised EU ETS Directive", one single EU ETS cap covers the EU Member States and the three participating non-EU Member States (Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein). There are no further differentiated caps by country. For allowances allocated to the EU ETS sectors, annual caps have been set for the period from 2013 to 2020; these decrease by 1.74 per cent annually, starting from the average level of allowances issued by Member States for the second trading period (2008-2012). The annual caps imply interim targets for emission reductions in sectors covered by the EU ETS for each year until 2020. For further information on the EU ETS and for information on the use of flexible mechanisms in the EU ETS see the EU's Fourth Biennial Report under the UNFCCC.

Assumptions:
Households:
- according to the existing data, in Croatia in 2012 was 142.2 million m
of residential buildings and houses (Long-term strategy for the
promotion of the investments of buildings, OG 74/14). It is assumed that
the living area will grow slowly with the recovery of economic activity,
despite the fall of number of people, by 8,5% until 2030 and by 10,6%
until 2050. Most of the new surfaces will refer to a block of flats in urban
areas,
- no improved efficiency and renovation of building are assumed for this
scenario,
- consumption of electricity to power household appliances and devices
for cooling (air conditioning) will grow,
- specific energy consumption for cooking in households will stagnate. Services:
no change in the structure, used forms of energy - increase of electricity
consumption, decrease in the usage of petroleum products and their
replacement with natural gas,
1.2. 'with existing measures' scenario
-
on the islands and parts of Croatia not covered with a natural gas grid,
the share of liquefied petroleum gas will be increased
- In the services and households sub-sector, projections in the 'without
measures' scenario show an increase in the final energy consumption
because of the GVA growth of the service sector as well as increase in
income of households. Agriculture, forestry and fisheries:
- there will be no changes in energy intensity. In the period until 2020, energy efficiency improvements are in line with the
existing measures listed in the National Action Plan for Energy Efficiency for
the Period 2017-2019 (listed in the Report on Policy and Measures), while for
the post-2020 period, there are no yet implemented measures, so only assessed
market improvements are integrated:
- market driven improvements of energy efficiency and fuel switches in
industrial sector;
- renovation of 0,5% surface are of the buildings annually to the standard
as listed in the Technical regulation on rational use of energy in
buildings (OG 97/14);

Minister of State for Energy, Clean Growth Department for Business, Energy & Chair, Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Committee Energy Supply Company Special Administration Regime – Bulb Energy Limited The Secretary of State and I have written to you on 25 November and several times since about the special administration of Bulb Energy. In order to protect Bulb’s customers, and to limit wider industry contagion, the Secretary of State agreed to initiate the Energy Supply Company Special Administration Regime (SAR) in respect of Bulb. This is a temporary situation and Government is working with the Energy Administrators to ensure value for money for consumers and taxpayers, including an exit from the SAR as s oon as is As you know, Government financial support has been agreed with the company and Energy Administrators. This takes the form of a working capital loan which includes Contingent Liabilities in the form of letters of credit to reduce upfront cash requirements, and a guarantee facility in respect of borrowings incurred by the company during the SAR. This is for the sole purpose of securing the statutory objective of Energy Supply Company SAR, which is the continuation of energy supplies to Bulb’s customers at the lowest reasonable, practicable cost until such time as the SAR becomes unnecessary. Appropriate governance arrangements are in place to ensure value for money and that any financial support provided is the minimum necessary for the Energy Administrators t o discharge their The 29 December letter set out, in a confidential annex, the letters of credit issued to counterparties on the behalf of Bulb. One of these letters of credit originally expired at the end of February, and has since then been extended twice with the most recent extension until the 31st May. This letter refers to issuing another replacement. Attached at Annex A to this letter are details of this new letter of credit which has been issued. Parliament will be informed via a Written Ministerial Statement and Departmental Minutes for the Contingent I am writing in equivalent terms to Meg Hillier as Chair of the Public Accounts Committee and Mel Stride as Chair of the Treasury Committee. A copy of this letter goes to Gareth Davies, Comptroller and Auditor General and to the Treasury Officer of Accounts. Minister of State for Energy, Clean Growth and Climate Change

From: and Published 13 May 2021 This was published under the 2019 to 2022 Johnson Conservative government Delivered on: 13 May 2021 I have today published the . These Regulations amend The Motor Fuel (Composition and Content) Regulations 1999 to require the introduction of E10 petrol (petrol with up to 10% ethanol) at filling stations in Great Britain. Current petrol in the UK contains up to 5% ethanol (referred to as E5). Switching to E10 can reduce the CO 2 emissions from a petrol vehicle by around 2%. This, combined with an increase to overall renewable fuel targets (which has been subject to a separate consultation) could cut overall transport CO 2 emissions by a further 750,000 tonnes a year – the equivalent of taking around 350,000 cars off the road. E10 introduction will also help support UK farmers and particularly the ethanol industry based in the north east of England. Producing ethanol also creates the valuable by-products of high-protein animal feed and stored CO 2 . These reduce reliance on imported products, in line with the government’s . The Regulations are published in accordance with the procedure required by Schedule 8 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 and agreed with Parliament. The draft Regulations will be available for review for 28 days before they are laid and debates scheduled.

Post-2012, new developments in the local electricity generation sector played a crucial part in the reversal of the emissions trend for energy industries. Marsa Power Station was largely decommissioned (one operational unit remaining solely for emergency stand-by purposes still in place), investment was made in an interconnector with mainland Europe, thus allowing for the possibility to source electricity from the European grid, and the construction and bringing into operation of a gas-fired plant. These investments together have led to the drastic reduction in greenhouse gas emissions that may be observed after 2012, coupled by significant improvements in the overall emissions intensity of indigenous electricity generation. It is to note that all existing public electricity generation plants mentioned here fall within the scope of the European Union's Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) and are subject to monitoring, reporting and emissions accounting obligations under the EU ETS. Historical CO emissions, electricity generated in Malta and electricity sources through the interconnector, since 2005 (the first year of implementation of the EU ETS) are shown in Figure 16. Furthermore, progress is being achieved with regards to sourcing of a share of local energy demand from renewable energy sources. The share of renewable energy in relation to gross final electricity consumption is estimated to have reached 6.6% by 2017.
These Regulations are primarily concerned with the quality of water supplied in England by water undertakers and licensed water suppliers for domestic or food production purposes and with arrangements for the publication of information about water quality. They transpose transpose requirements of Council Directive 98/83/EC on the quality of water intended for human consumption and Council Directive 2013/51/Euratom laying down requirements for the protection of the health of the general public with regard to radioactive substances in water intended for human consumption and supplement Chapter III of the Water Industry Act 1991 on water supply. The Regulations, among other things: require water undertakers to identify annually the areas (“water supply zones”) that are to be relevant for a particular year for the purposes of the application of the provisions of the Regulations; prescribe standards of wholesomeness in respect of water supplied by water undertakers to premises for domestic or food production purposes; provide for the monitoring of water supplies; require water undertakers and combined licensees to identify every point from which it abstracts water for supply and sets out sampling requirements; require water undertakers and combined licensees to investigate the cause of any failure, or apprehended failure, of any parameters set out in Schedule 1 or any indicator parameters set out in Schedule 2 and to notify the Secretary of State; provide with respect to treatment of water and regulates the substances, processes and products that may be used by water undertakers in connection with the supply of water; deal with the maintenance of records and provision of information by water undertakers, combined licensees and retail licensees; provide with respect to duties of local authorities and enforcement.
7.1.4 Main orientations and fields of action by 2050 The objectives of the transition to a low-carbon circular economy by 2050 are included in common and sectoral targets. The circular economy is a horizontal area and as such it provides the framework for implementing activities and attaining the objectives for emissions reduction by 2050. Contributing to a significant reduction of emissions in all economic activities by means of a transition to a low-carbon circular economy and changes in social behaviour and habits. Contributing to a sustainable social transformation of consumer habits. The framework of sustainable policies will include the sustainable design of products, enhancing the role of consumers and buyers through public procurements and circularity of production processes, which will result in significant savings along entire value chains, the supervision of resource tracking and the promotion of green technology application.
