Forests are crucial to the health of our planet. They clean the air we breathe and the water we drink, and provide a home to a diverse array of plants and animals. They give humans sustenance and economic stability. And they are crucial to mitigating climate change.
Removing Carbon from the Atmosphere
Forests naturally work in direct opposition to climate change, removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and storing it. Biomass and carbon are sequestered in trees as they grow, but lost when forests are cleared for new uses. That is why we aim to only source from forests that will remain as forests.
Keeping Forests as Forests
The world’s leading authority on climate science, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), says that sustainable forest management is critical to prevent forest conversion to non-forest uses. Enviva supports sustainable forest management by striving to source our biomass from land that will be maintained as forests in the longterm, rather than developed for non-forest uses.
Helping Meet Climate Goals
Our work is crucial to helping the world displace fossil fuels and keep forests as forests.
