The world\u2019s largest wood pellet plant is nearly fully operational in Lucedale, Mississippi.<\/p>\n

The Enviva Lucedale plant, located in George County, is Enviva\u2019s second operating plant in the state, and the first plant in its newly formed Pascagoula cluster.<\/p>\n

The Lucedale plant began its ramp in production at the beginning of 2022 with a goal of reaching an annual permitted production capacity of 750,000 metric tons per year (MTPY), but the company plans on increasing that to 1 million metric tons next year. Looking back, represented an investment of more than $215 million.<\/p>\n

Most of the softwood timber and paper mill residuals used to make the pellets are being sourced from areas within 75 miles of the Lucedale plant. Most of the pellets made in Lucedale will be shipped to power plants in Europe and Asia, as an alternative to coal with fewer carbon emissions.<\/p>\n

Enviva Biomass operates ten plants throughout the southeast that produce 6.2 million metric tons of wood pellets annually. Enviva is the world\u2019s largest producer of industrial-grade wood pellets with plans to double production capacity over the next five years to 13 million metric tons.<\/p>\n

In April of this year, Enviva announced plans to build its fourth Mississippi plant in neighboring Stone County. There is also another plant under construction in Sumter County, Alabama. Once operational, the Sumter plant\u2019s 1.1 million metric tons per year capacity will make it the world\u2019s largest pellet plant, moving the Lucedale plant to second largest in the world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
