Under the contract, Enviva will supply the wood pellets from its facilities in the southeastern US, home to some of the world’s most abundant and sustainably managed wood baskets.
The contract commences in early 2013.
Enviva chairman and CEO John Keppler said the partnership with E.ON reinforces the economic and environmental benefits achievable from renewable biomass resources in energy production.
E.ON biomass sourcing manager Jan Groeneveld said strong agreements with companies like Enviva that are focused on growing biomass supply and share the firm’s views on the importance of promoting sustainability are essential for it to invest in biomass generation.
Enviva is a manufacturer of processed biomass fuel in the US and Europe.
