Renewable fuels facility operational in California
Global Clean Energy Holdings, a California-based renewable fuels innovator and camelina producer, says its Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Facility is commercially operational, producing about 250,000 gallons of renewable diesel daily.

According to Global Clean Energy Holdings, this critical milestone marks a significant step forward as the company begins delivering sustainable, low-carbon and cost-efficient fuel to the market.
The facility leverages patented, highly scalable nonfood camelina varieties to produce renewable fuel that delivers up to 90 percent lower carbon and greenhouse gas emissions than petroleum-based diesel, the company says.
With a design capacity of up to about 210 million gallons annually, the facility not only produces renewable diesel but also generates other sustainable co-products, such as renewable propane and renewable butane.
“I am incredibly proud of our talented team, whose dedication over the past several years has made this achievement possible,” says Noah Verleun, president and CEO of Global Clean Energy Holdings. “This milestone validates the tremendous potential of our unique vertically integrated model – from camelina production to refining – and positions us to capitalize on the strong, long-term increasing demand for renewable fuel.”
Global Clean Energy is selling renewable fuels at its truck-loading facility in Bakersfield based on its supply and offtake agreement with Vitol Inc.
Global Clean Energy’s vertically integrated, capital-light, farm-to-fuel business model, combined with the facility’s advantaged logistics and ability to run on multiple feedstocks, ensures operational efficiencies and production flexibility across the value chain, according to the company.
