Enviva to Close Its Biomass Facility in Amory, MS, on February 7

On Tuesday, Enviva informed employees that it will close its biomass plant in Amory, Mississippi, effective Friday, February 7, the Monroe Journal reported (2-4-25).

Enviva, a leading producer of industrial wood pellets, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection last April and successfully emerged in December.

Enviva said the number of employees impacted by the closure is in the mid-20s.

In a statement to the Monroe Journal, the company said:

“Enviva has made the decision to shut down operations at its Amory, MS, facility, effective February 7. 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.”
