What They Do
Green Energy Biofuel specializes in the production of biodiesel from waste cooking oil and grease, employing a comprehensive process that includes collection, cleaning, dewatering, heating, and conversion into biodiesel, which serves as a renewable fuel alternative. The company has expanded its operations to include feedstock collection and sales to other biodiesel producers, enhancing its market presence in the southeastern U.S. (source: gebiofuel.com). Their core technology features a proprietary secondary waste processing method that stabilizes biodiesel operations, allowing for vertical integration and zero-landfill solutions. This innovative approach is exemplified by their acquisition of ReSoil Compost, which broadens their capabilities in organic waste upcycling (source: gebiofuel.com). The company’s products primarily consist of biodiesel produced at their facilities, including a 300,000-gallon-per-year plant in Winnsboro and a 40-60 million-gallon capacity at their GEB3 plant in Aiken, SC.

They also expanded their operations with a feedstock site in Knoxville, Tennessee, around 2012, and acquired the GEB3 plant in Warrenville/Aiken in 2018, which has a capacity of 40 million gallons per year (source: gebiofuel.com). The company has engaged in collaborations, such as a partnership with ATP-SC LLC aimed at growing biocrops and producing biofuels in Allendale, South Carolina, contributing to the state's bioeconomy expansion (source: gebiofuel.com). Their ongoing operations involve grease collection across four states and biodiesel shipping from their expanded facilities, reflecting their commitment to sustainability and resource management.

Noteworthy achievements include receiving the 2022 Carolina Recycling Association Annual Recycling Award for their zero-landfill solutions through the integration of ReSoil Compost, which underscores their environmental and economic impact in the biodiesel and composting sectors (source: gebiofuel.com).
