Enviva and E.ON sign biomass agreement

Feb. 7, 2012, Washington, DC –
Enviva LP ("Enviva"), a leading manufacturer of processed biomass fuel
in the United States and Europe, and E.ON, one of the world's largest
investor-owned utilities, today announced a multi-year 240,000 metric
ton per year wood pellet supply agreement.

"Demand for clean, renewable resources like our sustainably produced
wood pellets continues to grow as energy generators invest in
alternatives to traditional fossil fuels," said John Keppler, chairman
and CEO of Enviva. "Our partnership with E.ON reinforces the economic
and environmental benefits achievable from renewable biomass resources
in energy production."

"Strong agreements with companies like Enviva that are focused on
growing biomass supply and share our views on the importance of
promoting sustainability are essential for us to invest in biomass
generation," said Jan Groeneveld, manager biomass sourcing at E.ON.
"Biomass is one of the lowest-cost renewable solutions available and is a
key part of helping us ensure that the lights stay on at a price that
is affordable while helping to protect the climate."

The contract begins in early 2013. Enviva will supply the wood pellets
from its facilities in the Southeastern U.S., home to some of the
world's most abundant and sustainably managed wood baskets.
