EU Taxonomy Technical Screening Criteria
The activity provides urban or suburban passenger
transport, and its direct (tailpipe) CO₂ emissions are
zero
Until 31 December 2025, the activity provides
interurban passenger road transport using vehicles
designated as categories M2 and M3 that have a type
of bodywork classified as 'CA' (single-deck vehicle),
CB' (double-deck vehicle), CC (single-deck articulated
vehicle) or 'CD' (double-deck articulated vehicle), and
comply with the latest EURO VI standard, .e. both with
the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 595/2009 and,
from the time of the entry into force of amendments to
that Regulation, in those amending acts, even before
they become applicable, and with the latest step of the
Euro VI standard set out in Table 1 of Appendix 9 to
Annex 1 to Regulation (EU) No 582/2011 where the
provisions governing that step have entered into force
but have not yet become applicable for this type of
vehicle. Where such standard is not available, the direct
CO₂ emissions of the vehicles are zero.

Project EU Taxonomy Alignment-Comunidad de
Madrid
Use of proceeds for Metro (EUR 387.8 million) and electric
buses (EUR 105.375 million) are zero emissions and hence
considered aligned with substantial contribution criteria set
by the EU Taxonomy.
Use of proceeds for Hybrid busses (EUR 11.125 million) fit
Regulation 2020/852 and are aligned with the technical
screening criteria. Comunidad de Madrid has provided type
approvals and techinical specification of the busses showing
compliance with EURO VI standard.
in as a transitionall activity as referred to in Article 10 of
Emissions avoided with this LoP have been calculated by
Comunidad de Madrid as 137,895 tCO2 for Metro, and 6,280
tCO2 for busses (EMT).

(2) Climate change adaptation
The activity complies with the criteria set out in
Appendix A to Annex 1 (EU) 2021/2139.
(3) Sustainable use and protection f water and
marine resources
NA
(4) Transition to a circular economy
Measures are in place to manage waste, in accordance
with the waste hierarchy, both in the use phase
(maintenance) and the end-of-life of the fleet, including
through reuse and recycling of batteries and electronics
(in particular critical raw materials therein).
(5) Pollution prevention and control
For road vehicles off categories M, tyres comply with
external rolling noise requirements in the highest
populated class and with Rolling Resistance Coefficient
(influencing the vehicle energy efficiency) in the two
highest populated classes as set out in Regulation (EU)
2020/740 of the European Parliament and of the
Council and as can be verified from the European
Product Registry for Energy Labelling (EPREL). Where
applicable, vehicles comply with the requirements of the
most recent applicable stage of the Euro VI heavy duty
emission type- approval set out in accordance with
Regulation (EC) No 595/2009.

Project EU Taxonomy Alignment - Comunidad de
Madrid
Following climate change vulnerability and risk analysis,
Comunidad de Madrid issued Plan Azul 2013-2020, a
strategical program of measures for mitigation and adaptation
to climate change, to be implemented in Comunidad de
Madrid. Furthermore, a new strategy is under development.
that will set out the broad lines of action up to 2030 to make
progress in terms of climate action (mitigation and adaptation)
and improvement of air quality, in line with recent international
and national guidelines and requirements.
The UOP in Metro and Busses is deemed not to interfere with
the adaptation measures contained in Plan Azul, measures
for water resources, other vulnerable systems and industries,
indicators for climate change adaptation, reforestation,
increase of carbon sequestration in agricultural soils in the
region.
DNV considers this is in line with the criteria established for
Climate Change Adaptation in Commission Delegated
Regulation (EU) 2021/2139, Annex 1, 6.3 Urban and
suburban transport, road passenger transport.
Not applicable as per Commission Delegated Regulation
(EU) 2021/2139, Annex 1, 6.3 Urban and suburban transport,
road passenger transport.
However, Metro has provided evidence of extensive water
use and management plans for each underground station
showing plans and measures to mitigate effects on water
resources.
Metro de Madrid and EMT operate under an Environmental
Management Systems certified according to ISO 14001.
Responding to a new organisational model in Mietro, actions
and initiatives are implemented based on integral
sustainability, using and optimising stocks and flows of
resources (water and energy), materials and waste. Among
others recovery of more than 95% of the waste generated.
including batteries and electronic products, through improved
waste segregation and management.
A strategic plan in place in EMT for circular economy includes
projects like the design and construction of a Hydrogen
Fuelling Station and purchasing of biogas for the supply of
CNG.
DNV considers this is in line with the criteria established for
circular economy in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU)
2021/2139, Annex 1, 6.3 Urban and suburban transport, road
passenger transport.
Comunidad de Madrid has provided type approvals and
technical specification of the busses showing compliance
with EURO VI standard and external noise requirements.
DNV considers this is in line with the criteria established for
pollution and prevention control in Commission Delegated
Regulation (EU) 2021/2139, Annex 1, 6.3 Urban and
suburban transport, road passenger transport.
