On behalf of the ‘Petón do Lobo’ Environmental Association, requesting information on a review of the loan granted by the EIB to the company Greenalia Biomass Power Curtis-Teixeiro (La Coruña, Galicia)  

The petitioner is calling for an investigation into the loan granted by the European Investment Bank (EIB) to Greenalia Biomass Power Curtis-Teixeiro S. L.U. for its biomass plant in Curtis. He complains at lack of transparency in the project and considers that it promotes a model of intensive logging based on the production of lumber with little added value from plantations of trees such as eucalyptus. He points out that there is increasing opposition from society to power generation from forest biomass as a result of its harmful effects on the biodiversity of the Galician mountains and CO2 emissions.
