About the Company

BenchMark Energy was founded in 2011 by Mark Bateman, who saw great potential in glycerin refinement in its early days. We began by serving customers in Idaho, North Dakota, Minnesota and Michigan then expanded our customer base by making the benefits of refined glycerin more widely known.

With leadership from Mark Bateman and others, refined glycerin is gaining growing acceptance. Numerous federal and state financial incentives were adopted to support this cleaner, renewable, energy source.

Who we are

BenchMark Energy is a customer-oriented company dedicated to the highest standards. Over years of service, we have earned the reputation for meeting or exceeding the expectations of those who do business with us.

Our mission

BenchMark Energy: Creating and serving the glycerin markets

Our unique supply and distribution platform allows us to ensure reliability and scalability for our customers and partners. An originator and prime mover of glycerin in the United States, we are now creating international markets.
We carefully manage the commodity, infrastructure, and governmental risks inherent in our business. By efficiently deploying capital, we take advantage of opportunities as they emerge around the world.
