Green Energy Biofuel stands ready to provide waste recycling solutions for a variety of businesses and industries in the Southeast by turning costly liabilities into savings. Companies can leverage Green Energy Biofuel to help meet their environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) goals by no longer paying for waste to be landfilled. Virtually all organic waste streams, whether liquid or solid—including the dirtiest, least desirable materials—are responsibly converted into environmentally conscious products such as biofuels, compost material and more.

Green Energy Biofuel began in 2008 as Midlands Biofuels in Winnsboro, South Carolina. Midlands Biofuels provided local grease collection services for restaurants and processed the fryer oil into biodiesel. As the small company grew, it acquired a grease processing plant and 500 restaurant clients in Knoxville, Tennessee, and changed its name from Midlands Biofuels to Green Energy Biofuel.

In 2018, Green Energy Biofuel purchased its third—and largest—waste processing facility near Aiken, South Carolina, called GEB3. The company has invested significant capital into this site to accommodate waste from several large-scale clients such as Tyson Foods, whose food processing plant in Columbia, South Carolina, provided 30 to 40 percent of GEB3’s intake volume until Tyson recently closed the facility.

“We took over all their waste streams, which was sometimes four tankerloads a day and nasty,” says BioJoe Renwick, Green Energy Biofuel co-founder and owner. “In less than five months, we retooled the plant from only making biodiesel to a multi-feedstock processor that can handle anything with grease in it. The Aiken plant went from sitting idle for years to now processing 10 different industrial commercial-scale waste streams from various facilities, generating a quarter-million gallons of biodiesel feedstock every month. We have built a redundant process to bring in hard-to-deal-with waste streams and effectively process them all with no downtime.”
