Amalungu ePalamente yaseYurophu kunye neBhunga leManyano yaseYurophu avumelene ngomthetho omtsha ofuna ukwanda okukhulu kwenani leendawo zokutshaja kunye nezikhululo zokuzalisa ipetroli kwizithuthi zombane kuthungelwano oluphambili lwezothutho lwaseYurophu, ngenjongo yokuphucula utshintsho lwaseYurophu ukuya kuthutho olungenamsi ongcolileyo kunye nokujongana neenkxalabo ezinkulu zabathengi malunga nokungabikho kweendawo zokutshaja/izikhululo zokuzalisa ipetroli ekutshintsheni ukuya kuthutho olungenamsi ongcolileyo.
Isivumelwano esifikelelwe ngamalungu ePalamente yaseYurophu kunye neBhunga leManyano yaseYurophu linyathelo elibalulekileyo ekugqityweni ngakumbi kwemephu yendlela yeKhomishini yaseYurophu ethi “Fit for 55″, injongo ecetywayo ye-EU yokunciphisa ukukhutshwa kwegesi ebangela ubushushu ukuya kuma-55% wamanqanaba ka-1990 ngo-2030. Kwangaxeshanye, isivumelwano sixhasa ngakumbi ezinye izinto ezahlukeneyo ezigxile kwezothutho zemephu yendlela ethi “Fit for 55″, njengemithetho efuna ukuba zonke iimoto zabakhweli ezisandula ukubhaliswa kunye nezithuthi zorhwebo ezilula zibe zizithuthi ezingenakukhupha umbane emva kowama-2035. Kwangaxeshanye, ukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni kwezithuthi zendlela kunye nothutho lwaselwandle lwasekhaya kuncitshiswa ngakumbi.
Umthetho omtsha ocetywayo ufuna ukuba kubekho iziseko zokutshaja zikawonke-wonke kwiimoto nakwiiveni, ngokusekelwe kwinani lezithuthi zombane ezibhalisiweyo kwiLizwe ngalinye eliLungu, ukuthunyelwa kwezikhululo zokutshaja ngokukhawuleza rhoqo emva kwe-60km kwi-Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) kunye nezikhululo zokutshaja ezizinikeleyo kwizithuthi ezinzima rhoqo emva kwe-60km kwi-TEN-T core network ngo-2025. Isikhululo esinye sokutshaja sithunyelwa rhoqo emva kwe-100km kwinethiwekhi enkulu edibeneyo ye-TEN-T.
Umthetho omtsha ocetywayo ukwafuna ukuba kubekho iziseko zesikhululo se-hydrogenation rhoqo emva kwe-200km kuthungelwano oluphambili lwe-TEN-T ngo-2030. Ukongeza, lo mthetho ubeka imithetho emitsha yokutshaja nokufaka ipetroli kubaqhubi bezikhululo, nto leyo ebafuna ukuba baqinisekise ukuba amaxabiso acacile kwaye banike iindlela zokuhlawula ezisetyenziswa ngumntu wonke.
Umthetho ukwafuna ukuba kubekho umbane kwiindawo zokungena nakwizikhululo zeenqwelo-moya zeenqanawa kunye neenqwelo-moya ezingasebenziyo. Emva kwesivumelwano sakutshanje, esi siphakamiso ngoku siza kuthunyelwa kwiPalamente yaseYurophu nakwiBhunga ukuze samkelwe ngokusesikweni.
