Goals / Remit
Enviva are the world’s largest producer of sustainable wood pellets, a renewable alternative to fossil fuels. Enviva sells a majority of its wood pellets through long-term contracts with customers in Asia, the Europe Union and the United Kingdom.
The world’s leading authority on climate science, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, explicitly recognizes bioenergy as a renewable energy source that is critical to our low-carbon future. The IPCC also concludes that sustainable forest management is critical to prevent forest conversion to non-forest uses.
Sustainable biomass is essential for displacing fossil fuels in power, heat, industry, transport and enabling negative emissions through Bioenergy Carbon Capture and Storage. At the same time biomass sourcing supports forest growth and health.
Put simply Enviva’s mission is to displace coal, grow more trees and fight climate change.Main EU files targeted
Green Deal; Renewable Energy Directive (recast) and amendments; Biodiversity Strategy; Forestry Strategy; Sustainable Finance; Regulation on Deforestation-Free Products; EU-ETS; ReFuelEU Aviation; FuelEU Maritime; Voluntary Carbon Removal Framework Regulation

The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
