3.4 A diversified economy and green competitiveness 3.4.1 Innovation and technology development to find low-emission solutions Developing a green, competitive low-emission society that creates value and provides workplaces in Norway will require business and industry to focus on low-emission solutions and a robust research and innovation system that can support initiatives all the way from basic research to the market. Knowledge, skills, research and innovation are an essential basis for maintaining an innovative, competitive business sector in Norway. Research and technology development to promote the shift to a greener society is a very high priority and an important element of the Government's long-term plan for research and higher education 2015-2024 (Meld. St. 4 (2018-2019)).
Strategic Goal 2: Ensuring the Security and Reliability of Gas Supplies Ireland has a well developed framework to ensure the adequacy of gas supplies and transportation infrastructure into the country. Recent years have seen substantial investment in the transmission network and the new pipelines recently completed [Mayo-Galway & South- North) will enable the indigenous gas find at Corrib to be brought to the market, assist in the development of an all-island gas network and enable more communities to benefit from the availability of natural gas. In light of global, EU and UK trends, natural gas will continue to play a vital role in the Irish fuel mix for some decades yet. Business as usual projections indicate that more than 70% of our electricity would be generated from natural gas by 2020. Our alternative scenario, with renewables contributing 33% by 2020, will see greater diversity in the fuel mix with gas contributing just under 50% to power generation. The UK is now the source of some 87% of our natural gas and the UK's own demand for imports is growing strongly. Norway will remain a significant supplier of gas to UK in the medium term. Ireland's location in Europe from the view-point of gas supply sources is becoming less peripheral. In the last 12 months the UK has achieved a significant increase in gas import capacity through accelerated infrastructure developments with resultant benefits for Ireland. Both Pipeline and LNG capacity has increased significantly. These include the Langeled pipeline from Norway, the new pipeline from the Netherlands and new LNG terminals at Milford Haven. Further expansion of LNG capacity and gas interconnection is underway in the UK and Europe which will benefit Ireland in terms of security of wholesale gas supplies within this regional market.
The Medium-Term Climate Policy plan was updated to meet the increasingly stringent EU obligations for 2030 and the Government's target to achieve carbon neutrality by 2035. The plan sets a target for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions 50 per cent in the effort sharing sector by 2030 compared to the 2005 level. It also determines the measures for achieving the target. The target is based on the European Union's (EU) 2030 target of reducing emissions by at least 55 per cent compared with 1990 levels and is in line with Finland's long-term climate goal. As the existing measures are insufficient to achieve the 2030 EU target and the national target to be climate neutral by 2035, the plan identifies a range of additional measures. The greatest emissions reduction potential is identified in the transport sector. The plan also includes measures to reduce emissions in the agriculture, waste, and machinery sectors, as well as emissions from buildingspecific heating and F gas emissions.

49 Forecast estimates of the level of emissions in the with additional measures&gt;&gt; (energy efficient) scenario are based on taking into account the effect of the planned measures, including the increase in energy efficiency through the transition to the best available technologies (BAT) and on achieving the targets of the State Program Energy Efficiency and Energy Development  45 and the draft Energy Strategy of Russia for the period up to 2035. In the energy efficient scenario, as well as in the inertial one, the level of primary energy consumption by 2030 will not exceed the values of 2011-2012. The energy intensity of GDP is reduced by 2030 by 27% from the level of 2007.

In 2019, the Integrated National Energy and Climate Plan of the Slovak Republic (NECP) for 20212030 was adopted*, processed according to Regulation (EU) of the European Parliament and of the Council No.2018/1999 on the Governance of the Energy Union and Climate Action. The main quantified energy and climate targets for 2030 are a Union-wide reduction of greenhouse gas emissions of at least 40% compared to 1990 (with individual Member States setting shares according to local conditions), a binding Union-wide target of at least 32% for the share of renewable energy sources (RES) in gross final energy consumption, with a share of RES in transport of at least 14% in each Member State, a national energy efficiency contribution of at least 32.5%, and an interconnectedness of electricity grids of at least 15%. The main quantified targets of the NECP in the framework of the Slovak Republic by 2030 are the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions for non-ETS sectors by 20% (the share has been increased from the originally declared level of 12%). The share of RES is set at 19.2 % for 2030 and alternatively at 20% (increased from the initially declared 18%), in both cases meeting the required target of 14% RES in transport. The elaborated measures for achieving the national energy efficiency contribution of the Slovak Republic show values slightly lower (30.3%) than the European target of 32.5%. The industry and buildings sectors will be key to achieving the targets. Electricity grid interconnection is already above 50% and will remain so in 2030, so the target of at least 15% will be met.

The emission reduction obligation of the EU Member State is jointly implemented through the European Emission Trading System (EU ETS). A common 'cap' was established for the EU ETS system, in which 52 facilities from Croatia are also included. The emissions and sectors not covered by the EU ETS, the annual national allocation quotas are determined for the Member States and they must not be exceeded. These quotas are established on the basis of solidarity. A debate on the Proposal for a Regulation on binding annual greenhouse gas emission reductions by Member States from 2021 to 2030 for a resilient Energy Union and to meet commitments under the Paris Agreement has finished and the publication in the Official Journal of the EU is expected soon, and for the Republic of Croatia the goal of reducing emissions by 7 % compared to the 2005 level is determined. The EU set a goal of reducing emissions by at least 80 % compared to 1990 in 2050 in the Roadmap for the transition to a low-carbon economy by 2050 (COM (2011) 112).

The European Climate Law legally defines the commitment in the European Green Deal for Europe's economy and society to be climate neutral by 2050. The law also sets an interim target to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels. Climate neutrality means achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions for EU countries as a whole, mainly by reducing emissions, investing in green technologies and protecting the natural environment. The Law aims to ensure that all EU policies contribute to this goal and that all sectors of the economy and society play their part. The Climate Law includes measures to monitor progress and adapt our actions according to existing systems, such as the process for managing Member States' national energy and climate plans, regular reports from the European Environment Agency, and the latest scientific evidence on climate change and its impacts. Slovakia is part of these actions and was among the first countries in the EU (end of 2019) to agree to climate neutrality by 2050.

Summary of responses received 9 It would be useful to have more information on the type of information expected with regard to the distance to the IEA scenario. Also, if the IEA scenario seems to be relevant, namely in terms of governance of the scenario and regular updates, it is not clear to stakeholders which 2-degree scenario the template refers to (i.e. whether the SDS scenario or not). It would be necessary to give more clarity on the scenario that should be the basis for the reporting during a certain period (three years for instance). This will avoid volatility in institutions' disclosure not resulting from exposure changes. In addition, this would help reflect changes in historical emissions and changes in technology and policy.
