Biodiesel supplier World Energy is locating a new, $5.4 million production facility in Hampton County in a move expected to create 30 jobs during the next five years.

World Energy, which produces 200 million gallons of biodiesel annually, will upgrade an existing but idle former biodiesel production facility at 552 Third St. W. in Estill.

 “As South Carolina's and Hampton County's newest corporate citizen, we are thrilled to be coming to a community that means business,” World Energy CEO Gene Gebolys said in a news release. “Our mission is to deliver the cleaner, low-carbon fuels the world needs, from communities where we can be of service. Estill is a great place for us to invest, and we are looking forward to getting to work in this great community.”
