Thomas Meth Joins Javelin Commodities As Head Of Biomass
Thomas Meth, who as recently as November 2023 held the position of CEO at Enviva, the world’s largest producer of industrial wood pellets, has departed Enviva to become Head of Biomass for Javelin Global Commodities, a large worldwide commodities trader.
“I am truly grateful to the Javelin team for the opportunity and look forward to connecting with my network of 20 years of biomass supply and with the incredible team at Javelin to provide solutions for the decarbonization efforts of energy providers,” Meth says.
Meth adds that leaving Enviva was bittersweet after building a business for more than 20 years to become the largest global supplier of wood pellets. “Serving the incredible people at Enviva was an honor of a lifetime and I believe the best is yet to come for the company,” Meth says.
Meth was a co-founder of Enviva and prior to his appointment as CEO he held the position of president.
Enviva filed for bankruptcy in March 2024 and said that agreements it had entered into to purchase nearly 3 million metric tons of wood pellets with deliveries into 2026 to supplement its existing production and sales became overburdening to the company as wood pellet shipment market prices declined significantly, in comparison to what Enviva had paid in the agreements.
Founded in London in 2015, and today with offices worldwide, Javelin states that it provides a “one-stop-shop for marketing, trading, hedging, transporting, financing, advising, and investing in commodities.”
