Ecologistas acusan al Gobierno de Extremadura de incumplir la ley de transparencia en plantas de biometano "que no son circulares"

Ecologists in Extremadura have denounced that new biomethane projects prioritize industrial logic over regenerative approaches, questioning their circular nature and their actual capacity to mitigate livestock emissions. This criticism is closely linked to the importance of open data, as administrative opacity prevents the verification of these scientific and environmental claims. When public information is hidden or presented incompletely, civil society and experts lack the necessary data to audit the real impact of these infrastructures, thereby weakening democratic accountability. The management of these projects reveals a serious breach of transparency legislation, with citizens being denied their right to submit formal comments due to lack of access to project files. This lack of access to basic documentation fosters institutional distrust and limits citizen participation in critical decisions. Within the context of open data, bureaucratic barriers not only violate principles of open government but also stifle evidence-based public debate, as it is impossible to assess actual health or ecological risks without verifiable data. Moreover, the submission of project files with obscured or insufficient data on risks such as odors or aquifer contamination underscores the need to publish comprehensive technical information. The relevance to open data lies in the fact that transparency of environmental data is a prerequisite for social trust and rigorous evaluation of public policies. Only through free and complete access to official information can one distinguish between greenwashing and genuine sustainability, ensuring that industrial decisions are backed by verifiable data rather than administrative omissions.
