Intrinergy is one of the world's leading biomass energy companies. As major utilities and other energy consumers seek energy independence and a reduced carbon footprint, biomass is emerging as a compelling resource in the renewable energy sector. Each of its trifocal product offerings aids in reducing greenhouse gases, landfill contributions, fossil fuel dependency, and energy costs to its customers. Through its subsidiaries, they manufacture high-quality wood pellets, source and process woody biomass, and build, own, and operate CHP facilities around the world. Intrinergy's Enviva Materials has been aggregating and delivering wood and other biomass for Intrinergy facilities and third parties in the US and Europe since 2004. Its seasoned team of foresters and operators has over a century of combined experience in the biomass industry. Currently, Enviva Materials product catalog includes Enviva Wood Chips, Enviva Mini Chips, and Enviva Micro Chips, as well as alternative biomass feedstock like rice hulls and coconut shells. They have also begun testing energy crops, which, over time, they expect to, become a core component of its biomass supply strategy. Intrinergy's Enviva Pellets is dedicated to producing high-quality industrial and residential wood pellets. Since 2007, Enviva Pellets has been leveraging Enviva Materials' skills and resources to manufacture, market, and distribute several hundred thousand tons of Enviva Wood Pellets annually to customers around the world. They are also closely monitoring the development of terrified wood fuel, which they expect to be more widely available over the next few years. They plan to build its first 30,000 ton torrefaction plant in 2011 in Virginia.
