Lettre ouverte : les acteurs financiers ne doivent pas financer la conversion du charbon en biomasse

Reclaim Finance and 19 NGOs argue that converting coal plants to solid biomass in Réunion would increase greenhouse gas emissions and threaten public health and biodiversity. They call on the AFD and private financiers to suspend funding for Albioma's project and instead support a sustainable energy transition aligned with the 2030 energy autonomy goal for overseas territories.

• The proposed conversion of coal plants to solid biomass by Albioma in Réunion is claimed to be detrimental to the climate, as producing one unit of electricity from solid biomass emits between 3% and 50% more CO2 than production from coal.
• The document asserts that converting a coal plant to forest biomass results in 2 to 3 times more carbon in the atmosphere by 2050 per gigajoule of final energy, and that carbon released from cutting trees takes decades or over a century to be compensated by new plantings.
• The project is viewed as a threat to public health, biodiversity, and the 2030 energy autonomy objective for overseas territories established in the 2015 law on energy transition for green growth.
