University of South Carolina's Student-Run Biodiesel Initiative While currently in its infancy stages, GBF seeks to become a role model for other Universities.
It hopes to become USC’s primary supplier of cleaner-burning fuel. Furthermore, we seek to create a fully sustainable process. The glycerin byproduct will be used to make soap. In addition, all profits are re-invested in the program and the University’s Student Sustainability Fund.
