The EU Taxonomy is a tool to help investors, companies, issuers and project promoters navigate the transition to a low-carbon, resilient and resource-efficient economy.
(GPA).


The Taxonomy sets performance thresholds (referred to as ‘technical screening criteria’) for economic activities which:
A contract between an gas supplier and a buyer for the sale of "green" gas between the two parties.
*Make a substantive contribution to one of six environmental objectives (below).
*Do no significant harm (DNSH) to the other five, where relevant.
*Meet minimum safeguards (for example, the OECD Guidelines on Multinational Enterprises and the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights).




Environmental objectives of the EU Taxonomy:
Similar to a Power purchase agreement in relation to electricity.


*Climate change mitigation.
*Climate change adaptation.
*Sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources.
*Transition to a circular economy.
*Pollution prevention and control.
*Protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems.
