An export terminal once used for kaolin clay is being repurposed to provide Enova Wood Pellet Group LLC with 1.35 million metric tons of annual wood pellet export capacity at a single location. The group, a subsidiary of Enova Energy Group LLC, formed a long-term agreement with the port’s ownership group, Georgia Kaolin Terminals Inc., which is a subsidiary of Colonia Group Inc.
Enova will use the port location for storage and shipment of wood pellets sourced from its production plants located in Georgia and South Carolina. The pellets will arrive at the port via rail.

The export portion of the facility also features duel ship loaders to minimize vessel shifting, an 800 ton-per-hour continuous vessel loading rate, and a dust control system.
