6:1 un ratio pour transformer notre système énergétique

The document argues that limiting global warming to 1.5°C requires a radical shift in financial flows, moving away from fossil fuel expansion toward sustainable energy. Based on IEA data, it proposes a 6:1 ratio for banks: investing six times more in sustainable electricity supply than in fossil fuels by 2030. It specifies that 'sustainable' energy should focus on mature technologies like solar, wind, grids, and storage, while excluding nuclear, biomass, and carbon capture (CCUS).

• To achieve the IEA's 'Net Zero Emission by 2050' (NZE) scenario, total annual energy sector investments must increase from 2,800 billion US$ in 2023 to 4,700 billion US$ by 2030. Within this, energy transition investments need to rise from 1,800 billion US$ in 2023 to over 4,200 billion US$ by 2030, while annual fossil fuel investments should drop from 1,000 billion US$ in 2023 to 400 billion US$ by 2030.
• The document identifies a specific 6:1 ratio for clean electricity supply as part of a broader 10:1 energy transition ratio. By 2030, for every dollar invested in fossil fuels, six dollars should go to 'clean' energy supply (primarily electricity) and four dollars to energy efficiency and end-uses.
• Reclaim Finance distinguishes 'sustainable' electricity from the IEA's broader 'clean' definition. It argues that banks should exclude nuclear energy, biomass, and Carbon Capture and Storage/Utilization (CCUS) from their financing targets due to uncertainties, negative impacts, or lack of commercial maturity, focusing instead on solar photovoltaics, wind, grids, and storage.
• Banks are called to implement three immediate actions: adopt specific financial targets for sustainable electricity supply with a clear framework, cease all support for fossil fuel expansion (including projects and companies), and integrate the 6:1 ratio into credible climate transition plans across all banking activities, including off-balance sheet capital market activities.
