HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwire - May 11, 2009) - On April 29, 2009, Global Clean Energy, Inc. (OTCBB: GCEI) entered into an Assignment Agreement with Philip Azimov and Louis-Philippe Sénécal (the "Inventors"). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Inventors assigned any and all of their right, title and interest in and to new hybrid gasification system for the production of synthetic gaseous fuels, or a Gasifier, that the Inventors developed according to parameters provided to them by the Company. As consideration for the assignment, the Company issued to the Inventors 1,000,000 restricted shares of the Company's common stock having an agreed upon valued of $1.00 per share, which will increase the Company's asset base by $1,000,000.

On April 29, 2009, Global Clean Energy filed a patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for its gasification system for the production of synthetic gaseous fuels. The Company intends to use the gasification system in connection with its project with UK Coal plc, municipalities in Canada and in the U.S., and in connection with its other business operations.

With the acquisition of the Patent for the hybrid Gasification system -- a key component of environmental waste management -- and the existing AIRPUMP technology, we believe that we now become a premier tier solution provider in the renewable energy sector, by owning and operating a proprietary technology capable of converting waste material into clean, usable energy, in the form of synthetic gas, as Syngas. While continuing to innovate and research additional technologies which will alleviate environment impact caused by waste and fossil fuels, the company will now begin implementing the development and production of commercial scale gasification systems and commence marketing comprehensive clean energy solutions worldwide.
