Annex I to Directive 2003/87/EC is amended as follows: point 1 is replaced by the following: Installations or parts of installations used for research, development and testing of new products and processes are not covered by this Directive. Installations where during the preceding relevant five-year period referred to in Article 11(1), second subparagraph, emissions from the combustion of biomass that complies with the criteria set out pursuant to Article 14 contribute on average to more than 95 % of the total average greenhouse gas emissions are not covered by this Directive.’; point 3 is replaced by the following: When the total rated thermal input of an installation is calculated in order to decide upon its inclusion in the EU ETS, the rated thermal inputs of all technical units which are part of it, in which fuels are combusted within the installation, shall be added together. Those units may include all types of boilers, burners, turbines, heaters, furnaces, incinerators, calciners, kilns, ovens, dryers, engines, fuel cells, chemical looping combustion units, flares, and thermal or catalytic post-combustion units. Units with a rated thermal input under 3 MW shall not be taken into account for the purposes of this calculation.’; the table is amended as follows: the first row is replaced by the following: ‘Combustion of fuels in installations with a total rated thermal input exceeding 20 MW (except in installations for the incineration of hazardous or municipal waste) From 1 January 2024, combustion of fuels in installations for the incineration of municipal waste with a total rated thermal input exceeding 20 MW, for the purposes of Articles 14 and 15. | Carbon dioxide’ the second row is replaced by the following: ‘Refining of oil, where combustion units with a total rated thermal input exceeding 20 MW are operated | Carbon dioxide’ the fifth row is replaced by the following: ‘Production of iron or steel (primary or secondary fusion) including continuous casting, with a capacity exceeding 2,5 tonnes per hour | Carbon dioxide’ the seventh row is replaced by the following: ‘Production of primary aluminium or alumina | Carbon dioxide and perfluorocarbons’ the fifteenth row is replaced by the following: ‘Drying or calcination of gypsum or production of plaster boards and other gypsum products, with a production capacity of calcined gypsum or dried secondary gypsum exceeding a total of 20 tonnes per day | Carbon dioxide’ the eighteenth row is replaced by the following: ‘Production of carbon black involving the carbonisation of organic substances such as oils, tars, cracker and distillation residues with a production capacity exceeding 50 tonnes per day | Carbon dioxide’ the twenty-fourth row is replaced by the following: ‘Production of hydrogen (H2) and synthesis gas with a production capacity exceeding 5 tonnes per day | Carbon dioxide’ the twenty-seventh row is replaced by the following: ‘Transport of greenhouse gases for geological storage in a storage site permitted under Directive 2009/31/EC, with the exclusion of those emissions covered by another activity under this Directive | Carbon dioxide’ the following row is added after the last new row, with a separation line in between: ‘Maritime transport Maritime transport activities covered by Regulation (EU) 2015/757 with the exception of the maritime transport activities covered by Article 2(1a) and, until 31 December 2026, Article 2(1b) of that Regulation | Carbon dioxide From 1 January 2026, methane and nitrous oxide’
