Enviva was founded in 2004 with
a clear purpose in mind: We wanted to develop a cleaner energy alternative to
fossil fuels. Today, we are the world’s largest wood pellet producer, with
the capacity to make more than 2 million tons in 2016. We manufacture pellets
at six facilities in the American South and supply them to electric utilities
in the United Kingdom and Europe.
Enviva is bringing badly needed
economic growth to rural communities across the South, creating hundreds of
new jobs and pumping hundreds of millions of dollars into the Southern
economy. We produce wood pellets with sustainable practices that protect
Southern forests. And wood pellets reliably produce electricity at power
plants across Europe, regardless of whether the wind is blowing or the sun is
shining.
At Enviva, our job is more than
making pellets. We work for lower emissions, healthy forests and strong
communities.
