Global Clean Energy, Inc. Continues Its Algae Development Projects

HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwire - Oct 1, 2012) - Global Clean Energy, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: GCEI) continues to develop its plan to provide the most efficient feedstocks for biomass fuel production. The company has begun to provide for production of Jatropha and switch grass in rural America. The third most efficient feedstock for conversion into biofuel is algae. The recent Algae Biomass Summit in Denver emphasized the continued growth of algae as an efficient feedstock for renewable energy production.

GCEI's proposed algae production locations are in rural America, where job creation is a priority. GCEI has targeted the Rio Grande Valley of Texas to begin its algae production. The company is attempting to acquire abandoned shrimp farms with infrastructure in place, to produce algae, thus limiting additional capital investments.

Global Clean has joined in supporting a coalition of leaders in the biofuel, national security, and agriculture industries who have launched the FUELS AMERICA campaign. FUELS AMERICA brings together a diverse group of renewable energy leaders to improve our national energy security, spurring investment in innovative technology, and job creation. The very objectives of FUELS AMERICA are reflected in the Global Clean Energy business plan.

Global Clean Energy, Inc. is a waste-to-energy conversion solutions company, focusing on using available and developing technologies to convert waste into commercially viable energy, a process the company refers to as Reforming Environmental Salvage into Clean Usable Energy (R.E.S.C.U.E.).
