The company is expected to invest around $175 million (\u20ac159.2 million) to build the plant.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Governor Kay Ivey joined with Enviva and local leaders to announce the company\u2019s plans on 4 October at a ceremony in Sumter County Courthouse in Livingston, Alabama. \u201cWe are very excited about the prospect of Enviva joining Alabama\u2019s business community with a very important manufacturing project in Sumter County,\u201d said Governor Ivey.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEnviva is the world\u2019s largest producer of wood pellets for energy, and Alabama is proud to support the company\u2019s efforts to provide a renewable fuel solution for worldwide power generation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Governor Ivey added that the project will create \u201cquality jobs\u201d for locals in West Alabama, as well as improved timber markets for local landowners and an enhanced economy for the region.<\/p>\n<p>According to\u00a0a statement\u00a0on Governor Ivey\u2019s website, Enviva expects construction to begin in early 2020, once the necessary permits have been obtained. Construction is estimated to take between 15 and 18 months.<\/p>\n<p>John Keppler, chairman and CEO of Enviva, said: \u201cWe are privileged to have been invited by the people of Alabama to invest in a remarkable community like Epes. With its thriving forest resources, great local workforce and favourable transportation logistics, we look forward to the opportunity to grow sustainably in West Alabama for decades to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Enviva owns and operates eight plants in the Southeast US and produces more than 3.5 million metric tonnes of wood pellets every year. The Sumter County facility would initially produce 700,000 metric tonnes per year, though production could be increased to 1.15 million tonnes per year.<\/p>\n<p>The latest facility in Sumter County aligns with Enviva\u2019s ambitious plans for the rest of the Deep South. Enviva expects to grow its assets in the Gulf region, opening pellet plants in Mississippi and Alabama as well as a deep-water marine terminal at the Port of Pascagoula in Mississippi.<\/p>\n<p>The proposed production facility would use a mix of softwood and scrap from mills sourced from within a 75-mile radius. The pellets would be transported by barge via the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway to the terminal at Pascagoula and exported to Europe and Asia.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Enviva, the world\u2019s largest producer of wood pellets, is to build a new production plant in Alabama, US.
