  • Enviva Chairman and CEO Joins More Than 150 Business Leaders and Investors to Urge EU Heads of State to Set Higher 2030 Emissions Reduction Targets
    September 15, 2020 Enviva Chairman and CEO Joins More Than 150 Business Leaders and Investors to Urge EU Heads of State to Set Higher 2030 Emissions Reduction Targets “The world’s leading environmental policymakers agree there is no way to achieve ‘Net Zero’ carbon reductions and effectively address climate change without a radical rethink on how we utilize and leverage bioenergy. Enviva fully supports efforts to increase 2030 emissions reduction targets and firmly believes that sustainably sourced wood biomass is a critical pathway to achieving this goal. Increasing 2030 emissions targets is an important component of the ambitious and aggressive actions we must take if we plan to succeed in eliminating additional carbon emissions from entering the environment by 2050.” John Keppler Enviva Chairman and CEO www.envivabiomass.com Dear Heads of State and Government, European Commissioners As business leaders and investors across Europe, we are determined to work with you to confront the health and economic impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic, while setting out the framework for a more climate resilient and regenerative recovery that can build back better. The agreement reached at the July European Council is a significant milestone. What we urgently need to see next is an ambitious implementation of the recovery package focused on achieving a green and digital transition, with the European Green Deal at its core and an elevated short-term emissions reduction target in its sights. This implies both a ‘green stimulus’ of public spending and investment, and market signals to incentivise private investment and steer it towards green outcomes. The right decisions now can help create and protect healthy, thriving and fair communities and secure a roadmap for a prosperous economy.
