CONFIDENTIAL 5 Origin Story ▪ Biodiesel joint venture – early 2000s ▪ Camelina into renewable fuel production, three - year DOD SAF contract ▪ Addressing the problem – Future Feedstock Scarcity & Supply/Cost ▪ Tenured history in feedstock development - the foundation of our business ▪ 15+ years of plant science, R&D and proof of commercial production of nonfood feedstocks Renewable Fuels Innovator ▪ Differentiated renewable fuels platform that aims to address the industry wide feedstock transition away from food - based sources ▪ Developer of sustainable , ultra - low carbon feedstock technology and patented intellectual property Proprietary Feedstock Cultivator ▪ Largest nonfood - based energy crop (camelina) producer worldwide ▪ Over 15 years of cultivation across 24 states plus Canada, with acreage currently under cultivation in five states and five countries ID WY CO KS OK 1 Global Clean Energy’s Roots

 

 

CONFIDENTIAL 6 Focus on Renewable Diesel A chemically identical , cleaner fuel that is a drop - in equivalent to traditional petroleum - based diesel but with fewer contaminants. ▪ Renewable diesel can utilize the same infrastructure and function as a drop - in replacement for petroleum - based diesel ▪ Lower levels of contaminants enable renewable diesel to burn cleaner than petroleum - based diesel, reducing local emissions by up to ~33% ▪ Up to 90% GHG reduction ▪ Renewable diesel reduces engine maintenance issues ▪ Qualifies for the RFS, BTC and LCFS renewable incentive programs, as well as European programs such as REDII What is renewable diesel used for? ▪ Biomass - based fuel ▪ Uses: ‒ Modern diesel engines ‒ Home heating ▪ Development: ‒ Feedstocks include camelina , soybean oil, used cooking oil, tallow or various vegetable oils ‒ Feedstock is processed by hydrotreating ▪ Renewable diesel does not have a blend wall like biodiesel (i.e. B5 and B20) ▪ Unlike biodiesel, renewable diesel has: ‒ Better cold weather performance ‒ Lower microbial growth issues What is renewable diesel?

 

 

CONFIDENTIAL 7 Vertically Integrated Our Competitive Advantage – Farm - to - Fuel Structure • Unique vertical integration strategy bridging traditional agriculture and traditional energy • Farm - to - Fuel model allows greater efficiencies throughout the value chain, lowering our CI • Ownership of largest portfolio of patented camelina genetics • Expanding cultivation of our proprietary nonfood camelina crops as feedstock for our renewable fuels refinery • Streamlined aggregation, storage and transportation of our feedstock • Ownership of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery • Meal co - product FDA approved for livestock feed • Advantaged offtake agreements covering 100% of renewable diesel and renewable propane production

 

 

CONFIDENTIAL 8 What makes us unique: camelina sativa Camelina: Protects like a cover crop. Pays like a cash crop. Grown on fallow land between crop cycles • Provides additive revenue for farmers on fallow land cycles • Capital light and highly scalable: Utilizes farmers’ existing agricultural equipment, logistics and storage Low water crop • Grows on dryland (rain - fed) farms • Does not compete with food crops for scarce water resources Nonfood • Does not displace food crops • Does not result in direct or indirect land use change (ILUC) carbon penalty Low input crop with high yield • Our high yielding camelina produces revenue per fallow acre • Camelina grain yields more than twice the oil content of soybeans Sustainable ag is the NEW upstream. We contract directly with farmers to produce our ultra - low carbon feedstock.

 

 

CONFIDENTIAL 9 Producing ultra - low carbon renewable fuels • Camelina based renewable diesel has an estimated carbon intensity (CI) Score of ~24 (without meal credit) and an estimated CI Score of ~7 (with meal credit). • Camelina has the potential to receive the lowest CI score of available feedstock on the market. • Renewable diesel and other renewable fuels produced with our proprietary camelina varieties have the potential to achieve a Net Zero or below CI score. ▪ USDA crop insurance eligible ▪ USDA labeled & approved plant protection chemicals ▪ RFS pathway approval for conversion into D5 and D4 for RIN generation & compliance ▪ FDA approved for meal as a livestock feed additive ▪ Lowest CI virgin oil feedstock pathway approval under CA’s LCFS ▪ Approval applies only to Global Clean Energy’s patented plant varieties Regulatory Approvals

 

 

CONFIDENTIAL 10 LCFS Pathway Global Clean Energy has been granted a first - of - its - kind feedstock - only LCFS pathway by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) for renewable fuels produced from our proprietary camelina varieties. As of today, no other camelina oil can produce CARB - LCFS compliant fuel. Source: CARB GREET 3.0 pathways (DCO excludes East Kansas Agri - Energy and Jaxon pathways). Note: LCFS price per credit assumes $121.50 from Jacobsen as of 3/28/22, CA LCFS Benchmark assumes 2022 Diesel CARB benchmark of 90.41 and RD energy density of 129.65. Camelina CI score with meal credit is a Management estimate and has yet to be approved by CARB. Definitions: SBO - Soybean Oil; DCO - Distillers Corn Oil; UCO - Used Cooking Oil.

 

 

CONFIDENTIAL 11 Mature Patent Portfolio Global Clean Energy owns the world's largest camelina patent and plant variety protection portfolio. Purposefully bred to increase yield, quicken maturity, enhance stress tolerance, and use less water and other inputs. Our competitive advantage is protected by a robust IP portfolio, differentiating us from peers. • Sustainable Oils - four issued U.S. patents, six pending patent applications, six Plant Variety Protection Certificate applications, and owns 8,000+ entry tilling library • Camelina Company Espana – owns 11 proprietary camelina varieties and maintains an active plant breeding program with more than 600 camelina accessions and varieties • Agribody Technologies – owns 15 issued U.S. patents related to the use of bioengineered and non - bioengineered genome editing technologies to increase yield and other sustainability traits in camelina and many other crops clean energy companies:

 

 

CONFIDENTIAL 12 Primary U.S. Agriculture Regions • North American focus in Northern Plains, Pacific Northwest, and Midwest • Strategically located along Class I railways (BNSF) • Minimizes impact on CI score associated with transportation • Driving to “Net Zero” carbon emissions Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery

 

 

CONFIDENTIAL 13 Global Agriculture Regions Camelina scalability in North America, South America, and Europe Over 100 million camelina opportunity acres in targeted regions

CONFIDENTIAL 15 Strong Focus on Enterprise Sustainability In order to succeed, energy transition businesses need to be environmentally , socially , and economically sustainable . Global Clean Energy is one of the few energy transition businesses that accomplishes all three . Environmental Lowering carbon emissions Enhancing food security Not competing for valuable water resources Social Contracting with farmers produces rural economic development, providing additive revenues from fallow land Contributing to the “Just Transition” from jobs in traditional industry to clean energy careers Economic Focus on capital - light upstream growth Streamlining efficiencies in every step of the value chain Regulatory mandates deliver premium value for our low CI fuels

 

 

CONFIDENTIAL 16 Our Scalability Sets Us Apart The single largest constraint to the growth of renewable fuels is the unmet supply of sustainable feedstocks to meet future market demand. • Our camelina feedstock is scalable and doesn’t displace food • Strategic focus on capital light feedstock investment • Industry - wide underinvestment in feedstock • Growing crop innovation program • Less cost to grow camelina • Offsets fallow land costs • Amortizes farmer assets across additional acreage and revenue • Scalable growth platform • Robust and protected IP portfolio • Large energy and agricultural partnerships/joint ventures

 

 

CONFIDENTIAL 17 Strategic Relationships ExxonMobil – $125M direct investment and advantaged offtake agreements covering 100% of renewable diesel from our Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery. AmeriGas, UGI – AmeriGas Propane, the nation’s largest retail propane marketer, will purchase and distribute renewable LPG produced at our Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery. CHS – Partnership with CHS Farmers Elevator and Ag Partners, LLC gives eastern Montana camelina growers more convenient access to our certified proprietary camelina seed with agronomy consulting and grain delivery services.
