Renewable wood pellets

Highly advanced technologies

Enviva is leading the wood biomass industry on air emissions controls by investing, installing, and operating industry-proven air emissions control technology, and we work closely with environmental regulators to ensure compliance with the Clean Air Act. Our plants have what is known as ‘Best Available Control Technologies’ to curb emissions to the greatest extent possible. We use a series of emissions control devices to effectively reduce emissions from our manufacturing process. We maintain local air quality around each of our facilities that is far better than all ambient air concentrations prescribed through federal standards.

All of our facilities have valid environmental permits and are carefully monitored for compliance with the U.S. federal and state regulatory emission standards both internally and by supervisory authorities.

Enviva works tirelessly to minimize the impact of our operations on the local communities where we operate by demonstrating our continued commitment to environmental stewardship.

Affordable energy

Providing stability and reliability

Biomass is an affordable source of energy that provides stability and reliability. How are emissions from wood pellets different than emissions from traditional wood burning? Sustainably sourced wood pellets are the most efficient fuel for biomass-fired power and heat generation and are part of a highly effective system of emissions management in energy generation.

Today’s large-scale biomass

Highly advanced technologies

Today’s large-scale biomass power is more consistently and effectively managed with highly advanced technologies than recreational or small domestic and commercial systems. The emissions impact of a biomass-fueled power plant is far lower than numerous small fireplaces in homes scattered across a city. Sustainably sourced, high-quality wood pellets and advanced emissions reduction technologies within power plants ensure that biomass power is an affordable, reliable, and flexible source of clean energy.

Environmental stewardship

The foundation of our business

Enviva’s manufacturing plants are designed and built to meet or exceed all air quality permitting requirements. We seek to use the best environmental control technology, and we work closely with environmental regulators to ensure compliance with the Clean Air Act. Enviva works tirelessly to minimize the impact of our operations on the local communities where we operate by demonstrating our continued commitment to environmental stewardship.
