Albioma is a energy producer committed to energy transition through biomass, photovoltaics and geothermal energy. Albioma is engaged in the energy transition renewable energies (biomass, solar and geothermal).

The Group is based in French overseas, in Hexagon, Mauritius, Brazil, Canada, Australia and Turkey. For 30 years he has developed a unique partnership with the sugar industry to produce renewable energy from bagasse, a fibrous residue of sugar cane. Albioma is also the first producer of photovoltaic energy in Overseas where it builds and operates innovative projects with storage, as well as in Hexagon.

Plant-based biomass is a renewable and non-intermittent source of energy for unstable networks. ALBIOMA is building its growth on the recovery of a considerable deposit still underexploited: biomass residues. Biomass energy is used to generate electricity from the heat generated by the combustion of organic materials, including wood pellets. Wastes of plant origin are also used: residues from agricultural crops such as industrial pallet mills, debris from forestry and especially bagasse, a fibrous residue of sugar cane obtained after sugar extraction.

Albioma solutions

• Production of electricity from renewable energies (biomass, solar, geothermal)
• The sites, ALBIOMA Gol and ALBIOMA Bois Rouge produce ash from biomass and slag.

Key figures

• 768 employees
• > 1 GW of total capacity
• 2.4 M of people supplied with electricity
• 40% of electricity produced in Réunion (2022)

Sustainable development objective

+90% of renewable energy in 2025, almost 100% in 2030

Valorization of combustion by-products in concrete, road and agricultural engineering

Quality and environmental benefits

• Biomass combustion by-products have compositions that allow these materials to be exploited as components of hydraulic binders and also as sublayers of pavements.
• The use of the latter in the concrete and road construction industries is a great alternative to landfilling at licensed sites.
