Grease4Profit

by Ron Kotrba (Biobased Diesel Daily) Green Energy Biofuel’s Grease4Profit campaign recovers valuable biofuel feedstock and generates revenue for environmental-service providers.

Green Energy Biofuel LLC has a message for environmental companies that provide services for restaurants, food manufacturers and other producers of fats, oils and grease (FOG): Turn your high-overhead, low-margin grease-trap cleaning and high-waste emergency pump-and-dump operations into greater revenue-generating businesses with minimal effort and little to no investment.

The vertically integrated grease collection, processing and organics-recycling company based in South Carolina and serving much of the eastern half of the U.S. is ready to assist environmental-services companies in achieving this through its Grease4Profit campaign.

“The reality is, many of these companies are already doing the work and paying for waste disposal, including their grease,” said BioJoe Renwick, Green Energy Biofuel’s co-founder and head honcho. “We can provide an alternative option to just throwing everything away.”

Renwick recently was asked to teach at the 2026 Water & Wastewater Equipment, Treatment & Transport event in Indianapolis, Indiana, where he gave a presentation on the company’s Grease4Profit enterprise.

Many firms already have a process in place to capture this material and separate the water out, according to Renwick, but many still choose to throw it away. “Just call me next time,” he said. “It’s so simple and there’s no heavy investment and no permitting. Anyone can park a tanker with wheels on their property and put material inside it—with no permit, almost nationwide. Of course, check with your local authorities first.”

Renwick said even if environmental-service companies aren’t interested in working with Green Energy Biofuel in the win-win Grease4Profit endeavor, it would behoove them to at least start with reconnaissance on all of their accounts to measure what they have.

After investing more than $1 million of private capital in the business last year alone, and after years of expanding and improving its operations, Green Energy Biofuel is on a mission to find every pound of waste it can to max out its oversized grease-processing capabilities.

“I want to get the word out that we are hungry for people’s waste,” Renwick said. “We can do way more than we’re doing, and we need more. Green Energy Biofuel has never been more ready for action than right now in this given moment. If you have access to greasy wastes, we are just a phone call away.” READ MORE

Excerpt from Fairfield County, South Carolina/Biobased Diesel Daily: Green Energy Biofuel LLC has been recognized by the South Carolina House of Representatives and Rep. Annie McDaniel through a House Resolution honoring the company’s outstanding contributions to sustainable waste management, economic development and environmental stewardship across the state.

Headquartered in Fairfield County, South Carolina, Green Energy Biofuel has spent more than 18 years building one of the East Coast’s largest and most advanced biofuel feedstock-processing operations.

The company collects, processes and upcycles fats, oils, grease and other organic-waste streams, helping transform materials that would otherwise be discarded into valuable renewable energy resources.

The resolution recognizes Green Energy Biofuel’s ability to process more than 100 million pounds of organic materials annually while serving thousands of commercial and industrial customers throughout the Southeastern U.S.

The company’s recycled feedstocks play a vital role in supporting the production of renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), strengthening domestic energy security and reducing dependence on foreign resources.

In addition to its environmental impact, Green Energy Biofuel has become a significant economic driver for South Carolina.

The company operates multiple processing facilities across the state and neighboring regions, including major operations in Winnsboro, Elgin and Warrenville.

It employs more than 40 full-time team members in South Carolina, offers comprehensive employee benefits, and has invested millions of dollars in infrastructure to support continued growth.

The resolution also highlights the company’s commitment to innovation and sustainability by diverting millions of pounds of organic waste from landfills each year and converting those materials into renewable biofuel feedstocks and compost, advancing a circular economy that benefits both local communities and the environment.

Green Energy Biofuel’s commitment to excellence has earned numerous state and industry honors, including the South Carolina Ambassador of Economic Development Award presented by then-Gov. Nikki Haley, the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control’s Business of the Year Award, the South Carolina Manufacturing Alliance’s Innovator of the Year Award and the Carolina Recycling Association’s Recycler of the Year Award.

The company has also been recognized as one of South Carolina’s best places to work.

The South Carolina House of Representatives commended Green Energy Biofuel for demonstrating how private enterprise can successfully combine economic growth with environmental responsibility while continuing to invest in innovation, expansion and strategic partnerships that strengthen South Carolina’s leadership in the renewable energy and sustainable waste-management industries.

The House Resolution concludes by formally recognizing and honoring Green Energy Biofuel LLC for its exceptional service to the state of South Carolina and directing that a copy of the resolution be presented to the company’s leadership team. READ MORE
