CHAPTER IV

PROVISIONS APPLYING TO AVIATION AND STATIONARY INSTALLATIONS

Harmonised rules for projects that reduce emissions
Article 24a
1
In addition to the inclusions provided for in Article 24, the Commission may adopt measures for issuing allowances or credits in respect of projects administered by Member States that reduce greenhouse gas emissions not covered by the EU ETS.
Such measures shall be consistent with acts adopted pursuant to former Article 11b(7) as in force before
8 April 2018
. The Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 23 to supplement this Directive by setting out the procedure to be followed.
Any such measures shall not result in the double-counting of emission reductions nor impede the undertaking of other policy measures to reduce emissions not covered by the
EU ETS
. Measures shall only be adopted where inclusion is not possible in accordance with Article 24, and the next review of the
EU ETS
shall consider harmonising the coverage of those emissions across the
Union
.

A Member State can refuse to issue allowances or credits in respect of certain types of projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions on its own territory.
Such projects will be executed on the basis of the agreement of the Member State in which the project takes place.
