COMMISSION DECISION (EU) 2025/1479
of 22 May 2025
specifying the pro rata contributions to the Union CO2 injection capacity objective by 2030 from entities holding an authorisation as defined in Article 1, point 3, of Directive 94/22/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2024/1735 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 June 2024 on establishing a framework of measures for strengthening Europe’s net-zero technology manufacturing ecosystem and amending Regulation (EU) 2018/1724 (1), and in particular Article 23(3) thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Articles 20(1) and Article 23(1) of Regulation (EU) 2024/1735 provide that entities which produced natural gas and crude oil on the territory of the Union between 1 January 2020 and 31 December 2023 are to contribute to the Union-wide target of 50 million tonnes of CO2 injection capacity by 2030. |
|
(2) |
Member States were required, pursuant to Article 23(2) of Regulation (EU) 2024/1735, to report to the Commission by 30 September 2024 the entities to which they had granted authorisations for the production of natural gas and crude oil, and the production volumes of those entities between 1 January 2020 and 31 December 2023. |
|
(3) |
All Member States reported information on every individual authorisation as defined in Article 1, point 3, of Directive 94/22/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) on their territory, such as which entity or entities held the authorisation, the production volume of those entities for the period from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2023, and the split of the production volumes between those entities in the event that more than one entity held the authorisation. The information on authorisations was communicated using a standardised form, and Member States sent one form per authorisation. In addition, several Member States also sent the aggregated production volume for the period from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2023 for all entities holding at least one authorisation on the respective Member State’s territory. |
|
(4) |
The Commission has verified the completeness of the reports, and the comparability of the data provided. Where necessary, it requested the Member States to provide any missing information and to clarify the data supplied. Where Member States sent both the standardised forms per authorisation and the aggregated production per entity, the Commission relied on the latter. Where Member States were not able to calculate the production per authorisation, the Commission agreed to only rely on the aggregated production per entity. After obtaining the relevant production data from all Member States, the Commission cross-referenced it with external sources, to determine the Union’s total crude oil and natural gas production in the period from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2023. |
|
(5) |
Following the receipt of the reports referred to in Article 23(2) of Regulation (EU) 2024/1735, and in accordance with the rules set out in Article 4 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2025/1477 (3), the Commission is to specify the amount of the contributions of obligated entities. |
|
(6) |
It is therefore necessary for the Commission to specify the amount of the contributions to the Union CO2 injection capacity objective by 2030 from the entities referred to in Article 23(1) of Regulation (EU) 2024/1735. |
|
(7) |
In accordance with Article 23(4) of Regulation (EU) 2024/1735, by 30 June 2025, the authorisation holders are to submit to the Commission a plan specifying in detail how they intend to meet their contribution to the Union CO2 injection capacity objective by 2030. In order to allow authorisation holders time to prepare and submit that plan by 30 June 2025, this Decision should enter into force as a matter of urgency, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Authorisation holders whose combined production of crude oil and natural gas in the Union amounted to 95 % of the volume of crude oil and natural gas produced in the Union in the period from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2023 shall be considered obligated entities. Those obligated entities shall be subject to the contribution obligations as set out in Annex 1.
Article 2
Authorisation holders with production volumes of crude oil and natural gas that made up 5 % of the cumulative Union production volumes of crude oil and natural gas in the period from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2023 shall be considered excluded entities. Those excluded entities are listed in Annex 2.
Article 3
This Decision shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
Done at Brussels, 22 May 2025.
For the Commission
The President
Ursula VON DER LEYEN

(3) Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2025/1477 of 21 May 2025 supplementing Regulation (EU) 2024/1735 of the European Parliament and of the Council by specifying the rules on the identification of authorised oil and gas producers who are required to contribute to the objective of reaching the Union target for available CO2 injection capacity by 2030, on the calculation of their respective contributions, and on their reporting obligations (OJ L, 2025/1477, 25.7.2025, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg_del/2025/1477/oj).
