Ambergre Sloan, North Charleston Plant Office Assistant
Ambergre first heard of biodiesel two years ago (a late bloomer) when an eco-obsessed friend wouldn't stop talking about it. As a 21st century tree-hugging hippie, she became interested, started researching the web and met a handful of knowledgeable bio experts. After her friend Anthony, who owns Independent BioFuels in NC, came for a visit to Charleston, she knew that biodiesel was something she really wanted to get involved in. Working at SEBD is an honor for Amber and she hopes to help in all departments. Amber owns a '99 VW Beetle TDI named Betty that has seen 50% of the US on biodiesel and plans to show her the other half soon.
