Description
of Business

Throughout this Annual Report, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “our company,” and “the Company” collectively refer to
Global
Clean Energy Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-
owned
subsidiaries. References to “GCEH” refer only to Global Clean Energy Holdings, Inc.
GCEH is a Delaware corporation. GCEH currently operates through various U.S. and foreign subsidiaries that are currently wholly-owned. The principal subsidiaries include, among others: (i) Sustainable Oils, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SusOils”) that conducts camelina breeding and owns proprietary rights to various camelina varieties and operates our camelina business; (ii) GCE Holdings Acquisitions, LLC and its five Delaware limited liability company subsidiaries that were formed to finance and own, directly or indirectly, Bakersfield Renewable Fuels, LLC, a Delaware limited liability subsidiary (“BKRF”) that owns our renewable fuels refinery in Bakersfield, California (the “Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery”); (iii) GCE Operating Company, LLC, our subsidiary that operates our Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery, and employs various personnel throughout the Company; (iv) Agribody Technologies, Inc., our Delaware subsidiary that oversees aspects of our plant science programs; and (v) Camelina Company Espana, S.L., our Spanish subsidiary that develops proprietary camelina varieties and leads our business expansion opportunities in Europe and South America.
 
GCEH
is a uniquely positioned, vertically integrated renewable fuels innovator that will produce ultra-low carbon renewable fuels from patented nonfood camelina varieties. Our farm-to-fuel business model is designed to allow greater efficiencies throughout the value chain, lowering our finished fuels’ carbon intensity and streamlining our operations at every step. Our patented camelina varieties are purposefully bred to increase yield, quicken maturity, and increase tolerance to drought and pests. Today, GCEH owns the world’s largest portfolio of patented camelina genetics, and we contract directly with farmers around the globe to grow our proprietary camelina crop on fallow land. Once online, the 15,000 barrels per day (“BPD”) facility will sell up to its full production capacity of renewable
diesel
(“RD”).
The
production capacity will be limited due to a hydrogen constraint at the refinery, which, based upon feedstock blend, could limit us to processing no more than ~12,000 BPD of feedstock.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). References to the “ASC” hereafter refer to the Accounting Standards Codification established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) as the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Certain reclassifications have been made within the consolidated financial statements for the prior period to conform with current presentation.
