## Resource

South Carolina’s House of Representatives just gave Green Energy Biofuel the spotlight — and for good reason. This Winnsboro-based startup, born from collecting used cooking oil, has exploded into one of the East Coast’s largest biofuel operations. Founder Joe Renwick earned top honors as one of SC’s 500 most influential leaders. Now processing fats, oils, and grease from restaurants and factories, they refine them into renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel sold to major oil companies. With facilities across South Carolina and Tennessee, they’re riding a wave of global supply chain chaos that’s boosting demand for American-made clean fuels. But scaling up from half a million to two million gallons monthly? That’s forcing tough decisions — and maybe even outside investment — to keep pace with explosive growth.
