Enviva shuts down Amory biomass plant

Enviva will close its biomass plant in Amory, Mississippi on 7 February.
The 115,000 metric tonne per year pellet plant will cease operations due to market dynamics and the facility's infrastructure and operations, according to the company.
This site was Enviva's first US-operated plant, and was acquired in 2010, having previously been owned by CKS Energy.
“Enviva has made the decision to shut down operations at its Amory, MS facility, effective February 7,” said Enviva in a statement.
“As part of our post-emergence exercises, we are reviewing the overall operational efficiencies of our entire fleet. Due to market dynamics and the Amory facility’s infrastructure and operations, along with the relationship of its size and scale relative to the rest of our portfolio, it has been decided resources are better invested in other areas moving forward.
“We are deeply grateful for the hard work and dedication of all those who have contributed to the Amory facility over the years, and we are committed to supporting our team through this transition. Enviva remains committed to manufacturing high-quality sustainable wood pellets and focused on the long-term success of our business as we navigate these changes.”
