In September the Company announced the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced Global Clean Energy Holdings was selected for participation in the Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities grant program. The company was awarded up to $30 million for a pilot project to measure and validate the advantages of camelina as an ultra-low carbon renewable fuel feedstock. Altogether the program received over 450 applications for this initial funding pool.
Global Clean Energy Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB:GCEH) is a vertically integrated renewable fuels business that is focused on reducing carbon emissions sustainably through proprietary nonfood camelina varieties – delivering among the lowest carbon intensity renewable fuel in the marketplace. Global Clean Energy’s strategy since inception has been to control the full integration of the renewable fuels supply chain from science to seed and farm to fuel. They aim to operate the development, production, processing, and transportation of feedstocks, to the refining and production of renewable fuels. Global Clean Energy processes their proprietary nonfood camelina feedstock in our Bakersfield, California renewable fuels refinery, yielding a renewable diesel that is chemically identical to petroleum diesel, but with 80+ percent lower carbon emissions. Global Clean Energy’s proprietary camelina varieties are the only nonfood renewable feedstock on the market certified for both the U.S. EPA’s Renewable Fuel Standard and California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard.
GCEH is a uniquely positioned, vertically integrated renewable feedstocks and finished fuels company. Our business model is designed to control all aspects of the value chain, with one end of our business anchored in plant science and the other in renewable fuels production. We contract directly with farmers to grow our ultra-low carbon, nonfood, proprietary Camelina crop on fallow land to process at our own renewable fuels refinery in Bakersfield, California (the “Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery”). Once online in the second half of 2022, the 15,000 barrels per day (“BPD”) facility will sell up to its full production capacity of renewable diesel (“RD”) for a minimum of five years to ExxonMobil Oil Corporation (“ExxonMobil”) through a pair of long-term supply agreements.
Over the past 15 years GCEH has developed a portfolio of proprietary elite varieties of Camelina sativa (“Camelina”) to be used as a feedstock for the Company’s renewable fuels refinery, providing us with feedstock certainty unmatched in the industry. Our Camelina holds several advantages over traditional feedstocks, such as soybean oil, yielding additional Low Carbon Fuel Standard (“LCFS”) credits through a lower carbon intensity (“CI”) score, adding significant value to our end products. As a dryland farmed rotational crop grown on fallow land, Camelina does not impact food production or compete with other crops for scarce water resources. The crop land available for potential Camelina production in the Great Plains and Pacific NorthWest totals 19 million acres. The result of our vertically integrated farm-to-fuel strategy is a highly sustainable, low cost, and ultra-low carbon finished fuel.

Global Clean Energy owns the world’s largest camelina patent and intellectual property portfolio. Their wholly owned subsidiary, Sustainable Oils, Inc., contracts directly with farmers to grow camelina in key regions of the U.S. including Idaho, Colorado, Kansas, Montana, Oregon, and Washington. Camelina grain is grown for use as the source for Global Clean Energy’s ultra-low carbon renewable fuels produced from their Bakersfield Renewable Fuels refinery in California.
GCEH CEO Richard Palmer said “Being selected for this grant signals that the advantages of camelina as a low carbon feedstock are undeniable. Camelina is a nonfood crop grown on fallow land between traditional crop cycles so as not to contribute to land use change, while producing ultra-low carbon renewable fuels that act as a drop-in replacement for their petroleum-based alternatives. This funding from the USDA will help us accelerate farmer adoption of camelina, which will improve soil conditions on existing farmland and help reduce the negative impacts of climate change.”
