Description
of Business
 
Throughout this Quarterly 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 that conducts camelina breeding and owns proprietary rights to various camelina varieties and operates our camelina business; (ii) GCE Holdings Acquisitions, LLC and its six Delaware limited liability company subsidiaries that were formed to finance and own, directly or indirectly, our Bakersfield Renewable Fuels, LLC, a Delaware limited liability subsidiary (“BKRF”) that owns a 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)
C
amelina 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 producing 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”) nameplate Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery will sell up to its full production capacity, which will initially be limited to approximately
9,000
BPD due to a hydrogen constraint, of renewable diesel (“RD”) to ExxonMobil Oil Corporation (“ExxonMobil”) through a pair of long-term supply agreements described below.
We believe that the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery will commence operations in the fourth quarter of this year, but given the delays experienced to date with our lead contractor and other factors beyond our control, including but not limited to contractor scheduling, contractor assembly of necessary labor force, availability of cranes or construction equipment necessary to complete the project, work stoppages for any reason, unavailability of critical components, and vendors not being able to deliver ordered products timely,  there can be no assurance that this will occur and operations may not commence until the first quarter of
2023. 
If operations do not commence until the first quarter of
2023,
then our initial revenues from the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery will also be delayed until such time.
 
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Company at December 31, 2021, has been derived from audited
consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2022 have been prepared in accordance with U.S.
 
GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes to the financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all material adjustments (consisting of all normal accruals) necessary to make the condensed consolidated financial statements not misleading as required by Regulation S-X Rule 10-01. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2022 or any future periods.
