Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 27, 2017, Clean Energy Renewable Fuels, LLC (“Renewables”), an indirect subsidiary of Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (the “Registrant”), entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “APA”) with BP Products North America, Inc. (“BP”), pursuant to which Renewables agreed to sell to BP certain assets relating to the Registrant’s renewable natural gas (“RNG”) business (collectively, the “Assets”) (such transaction, the “Asset Sale”). Subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including, among others, the receipt of required governmental and third-party consents and approvals, the Asset Sale is expected to close on or before March 31, 2017.

Pursuant to the terms of the APA, the Assets include the RNG production facilities located at Republic Services landfills in Canton, Michigan and North Shelby, Tennessee, Renewable’s 50% ownership interest in joint ventures formed in November 2016 to develop new RNG production facilities at a Republic Services landfill in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and an Advanced Disposal landfill near Atlanta, Georgia and Renewable’s third party RNG supply contracts. Following completion of the Asset Sale, Renewables and the Registrant will continue to obtain RNG from BP under a long-term supply contract, and resell such RNG through its natural gas fueling infrastructure as Redeem™, the Registrant’s RNG vehicle fuel.

As consideration for the Assets, BP has agreed to pay $155.0 million (the “Purchase Price”). At the Closing of the Asset Sale, BP will pay $30.0 million of the Purchase Price in cash and deliver to Renewables a promissory note, for $125.0 million, that matures on April 3, 2017. Pursuant to the terms of the APA, BP will also pay up to an additional $25.0 million in cash, which amount could be paid in whole, in part or not at all.

The APA includes representations, warranties, pre- and post-closing covenants and termination provisions customary for asset sale transactions of this nature. The APA also includes indemnification provisions that, subject to certain carve-outs, qualifications and exceptions as set forth in the APA, could subject Renewables to payment obligations upon its breach of the terms of APA.

The foregoing description of the APA does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the APA, which is filed as Exhibit 2.11 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The APA contains customary representations and warranties by the parties thereto, which were made solely for the purpose of the APA and as of specific dates as set forth therein, may have been qualified by certain private disclosures made between the parties and are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to stockholders, among other limitations. As a result, these representations and warranties should not be relied upon as a disclosure of factual information.

The Registrant issued a press release on March 1, 2017 announcing the APA, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

(a) In consideration for the contribution, sale, conveyance, assignment, transfer and delivery to Purchaser of the Purchased Assets, Purchaser shall pay Seller one hundred fifty-five million dollars ($155,000,000) (the “Purchase Price”). At least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a closing statement setting forth (A) Seller’s reasonable estimate of the Adjusted Acquired Cash Amount (the “Estimated Adjusted Acquired Cash Amount”), and (B) a calculation of the Note Purchase Price, and shall include therein wire transfer instructions for Seller’s account. At Closing, Purchaser shall pay the Purchase Price as follows:

(i) thirty million dollars ($30,000,000), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Seller (the “Closing Date Payment”); and

(ii) one hundred twenty-five million dollars ($125,000,000), minus (A) the Estimated Adjusted Acquired Cash Amount that is held in bank accounts controlled by Seller or its Affiliates as of the Closing (less any portion of the Estimated Adjusted Acquired Cash Amount that is held in bank accounts of Mavrix, Canton Renewables and CERF Shelby as of the Closing), plus (B) if Seller is entitled to reimbursement for the Canton Debt Payoff Amount pursuant to Section 1.2(b), the Canton Debt Payoff Amount (the “Note Purchase Price”), by delivery of an unsecured zero interest promissory note in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, in the original principal amount of the Note Purchase Price and providing for a maturity date of April 3, 2017 (the “Purchase Price Note”).

After the Closing, the Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 1.2(c).

(b) If Seller or Canton Renewables repays the amounts outstanding under the Canton Loan Agreement in accordance with Section 4.27, Seller shall be entitled to reimbursement of the Canton Debt Payoff Amount from Purchaser.

(c) The Parties hereby covenant and agree as provided in this Section 1.2(c) with respect to the adjustment of the Purchase Price following the Closing:

(i) As promptly as practicable after the Closing (but in no event later than forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date), Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser a calculation of the Acquired Cash and the Adjusted Acquired Cash Amount (the “Post-Closing Statement”). If the Adjusted Acquired Cash Amount, as calculated by Seller, exceeds the Estimated Adjusted Acquired Cash Amount, Seller shall contemporaneously pay the amount of such excess to Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Purchaser, and if the Adjusted Acquired Cash Amount, as calculated by Seller, is less than the Estimated Adjusted Acquired Cash Amount, Purchaser shall promptly (but in any event within forty-five (45) days of the delivery of the Post-Closing Statement) pay the amount of such shortfall to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Seller, unless any such amount is disputed by Purchaser in accordance with an Objection Notice as set forth in Section 1.2(c)(iii) below.

(ii) Following the delivery of the Post-Closing Statement to Purchaser, Seller shall provide Purchaser and its designees reasonable access upon reasonable advance written notice during normal business hours to all materials of Seller pertinent to the preparation of the Post-Closing Statement and calculations of the Acquired Cash and the Adjusted Acquired Cash Amount as set forth on Schedule 1.2(c)(ii).

(iii) The Post-Closing Statement and the Acquired Cash and the Adjusted Acquired Cash Amount submitted by Seller to Purchaser shall become final and binding upon the Parties

- 5 -

forty-five (45) days following Purchaser’s receipt thereof (the “Review Period”), unless Purchaser, within the Review Period, has delivered to Seller written notice (the “Objection Notice”) of its objections with reasonable detail and specificity to the Post-Closing Statement, the Acquired Cash and the Adjusted Acquired Cash Amount, in which case the Post-Closing Statement, the Acquired Cash and the Adjusted Acquired Cash Amount shall not be binding upon the Parties and such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section 1.2(c)(iv).

(iv) After the receipt of the Objection Notice by Seller, the designees of Purchaser and Seller shall meet by telephone, or at a mutually agreeable location, to discuss and attempt to reconcile their differences with respect to the disputed items set forth in the Objection Notice (the “Disputed Items”). If the Parties are unable to mutually resolve each of the Disputed Items within twenty (20) days after receipt of the Objection Notice by Seller, then Purchaser and Seller shall jointly engage the Accounting Firm to resolve such Disputed Items and promptly submit such dispute for resolution to the Accounting Firm. The Parties shall jointly instruct the Accounting Firm to make a determination within thirty (30) days after its engagement or as soon as practicable thereafter. The Accounting Firm’s determination shall be limited to resolving the disagreement set forth in the Objection Notice. The determination of the Accounting Firm and any required adjustments resulting therefrom shall be final, conclusive and binding on all the Parties hereto. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated between and paid by Purchaser and/or Seller, respectively, based upon the percentage that the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each Party bears to the amount actually contested by such Party, as determined by the Accounting Firm.

(v) On the fifth (5^th) Business Day after the final determination of the Adjusted Acquired Cash Amount in accordance with this Section 1.2(c):

(1) if the final Adjusted Acquired Cash Amount is less than the Estimated Adjusted Acquired Cash Amount, then Purchaser shall pay to Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified in writing by Seller, an amount equal to such difference (A) plus any amount previously paid by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to Section 1.2(c)(i), (B) minus any amount previously paid by Purchaser to Seller pursuant to Section 1.2(c)(i); and

(2) if the final Adjusted Acquired Cash Amount is greater than the Estimated Adjusted Acquired Cash Amount, then Seller shall pay to Purchaser, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified in writing by Purchaser, an amount equal to such difference (A) plus any amount previously paid by Purchaser to Seller pursuant to Section 1.2(c)(i), (B) minus any amount previously paid by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to Section 1.2(c)(i).

(c) Within sixty (60) days after the end of an applicable Earn-Out Year, Purchaser shall (i) prepare or cause to be prepared a statement setting forth: (A) following Year One, the calculation of the Annual Earn-Out Payment applicable to Year One; (B) following Year Two, the calculation of the Annual Earn-Out Payment applicable to Year Two; (C) following Year Three, the calculation of the Annual Earn-Out Payment applicable to Year Three; (D) following Year Four, the calculation of the Annual Earn-Out Payment applicable to Year Four and (E) following Year Five, the calculation of the Annual Earn-Out Payment applicable to Year Five (with respect to each Earn-Out Year, an “Earn-Out Calculation”) and (ii) deliver the applicable Earn-Out Calculation to Seller, together with (A) reasonable supporting documents and (B) payment to Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Seller, of the Annual Earn-Out Payment, if any, calculated by Purchaser to be payable based on such Earn-Out Calculation. Seller shall have a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of the applicable Earn-Out Calculation with respect to the applicable Earn-Out Year to notify Purchaser in writing of Seller’s election to accept or reject such Earn-Out Calculation as prepared by Purchaser. In the event Seller rejects in writing such Earn-Out Calculation as prepared by Purchaser, such rejection notice (the “Rejection Notice”) shall contain the reasons for such rejection in reasonable detail and set forth the amount of the requested adjustment. In the event no Rejection Notice is received by Purchaser during such thirty (30)-day period, the Annual Earn-Out Payment for such Earn-Out Year (as set forth in Purchaser’s Earn-Out Calculation) shall be deemed to have been accepted and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties hereto. In the event that Seller shall timely reject an Earn-Out Calculation, Purchaser and Seller shall promptly (and in any event within thirty (30) days following the date upon which Purchaser received the applicable Rejection Notice from Seller rejecting such Earn-Out Calculation) attempt in good faith to make a joint determination of the Annual Earn-Out Payment for the applicable Earn-Out Year, and such determination and any required adjustments resulting therefrom shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties hereto. In the event Seller and Purchaser are unable to agree upon the Annual Earn-Out Payment for the applicable Earn-Out Year within such thirty (30)-day period, then Purchaser and Seller shall jointly engage the Accounting Firm to resolve such dispute and promptly submit such dispute for resolution to the Accounting Firm. The Parties shall jointly instruct the Accounting Firm to make a determination within thirty (30) days after its engagement or as soon as practicable thereafter. The Accounting Firm’s determination shall be limited to resolving the disagreement set forth in the Rejection Notice. The determination of the Accounting Firm and any required adjustments resulting therefrom shall be final, conclusive and binding on all the Parties hereto. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated between and paid by Purchaser and/or Seller, respectively, based upon the percentage that the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each Party bears to the amount actually contested by such Party, as determined by the Accounting Firm.

(d) If the Annual Earn-Out Payment due on account of any Earn-Out Year, as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.3(c), is greater than the amount (if any) initially paid by Purchaser on account of such Earn-Out Year, then the additional Annual Earn-Out Payment due shall be payable within five (5) days of such final determination pursuant to Section 1.3(c), and Purchaser shall deliver to Seller such additional amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in writing by Seller to Purchaser.

(e) For the purposes of complying with the terms set forth in this Section 1.3, Purchaser shall cooperate with and make available to Seller all pertinent books, records and data, and shall permit reasonable access to its facilities and personnel upon reasonable advance written notice and during normal business hours, as may be reasonably required in connection with the preparation and analysis of the Earn-Out Calculation for any Earn-Out Year and the resolution of any disputes thereunder as set forth on Schedule 1.3(e). In addition, Purchaser shall also provide such access upon request by Seller and cooperate with Seller in connection with making interim calculations of amounts due pursuant to this Section 1.3. If Purchaser breaches its obligations under this Section 1.3(e), the dispute period set forth in Section 1.3 shall be automatically extended until such breach is cured by Purchaser.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing set forth herein will require Seller and Purchaser to agree upon a more detailed Purchase Price allocation among the Purchased Assets sold, transferred, conveyed and assigned by Seller. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall require Purchaser and Seller to jointly prepare or agree upon an allocation of the Purchase Price among the Purchased Assets under Section 1060 of the Code (or any similar or comparable provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law).

Section 4.5 Confidentiality Agreement. Purchaser and Seller agree that the Confidentiality Agreement will continue to apply to (a) all documents, materials and other information that such Party has obtained regarding the other Party or its Affiliates during the course of the negotiations leading to the consummation of the Transactions (whether obtained before or after the date of this Agreement), any investigations made in connection therewith and the preparation of this Agreement and related documents, and (b) all analyses, reports, compilations, evaluations and other materials prepared by Purchaser or its counsel, accountants or financial advisors that contain or otherwise reflect or are based upon, in whole or in part, any of the provided information.

Section 4.7 Tax Matters.

(a) Each Party shall bear fifty percent (50%) of any and all applicable sales, use, transfer or similar Taxes that may be imposed, assessed or payable by reason of or relating to the consummation of the Transactions, including the sales, transfers, leases, rentals, licenses and assignments contemplated hereby (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”); provided that Purchaser shall bear one hundred percent (100%) of the Incremental Transfer Tax. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize Transfer Taxes, if any. The Party required by applicable Law to file a Tax Return with respect to such Transfer Taxes will do so within the time period prescribed by applicable Law and will pay all Transfer Taxes required to be paid in connection therewith; provided, however, that the non-filing Party will promptly (but in any event within ten (10) Business Days of its receipt of written notice from the filing Party) reimburse the filing Party for fifty percent (50%) of any Transfer Taxes so paid by the filing Party, unless such Transfer Taxes constitute an Incremental Transfer Tax, in which case the Parties shall make such payments as are necessary so that Purchaser bears one hundred percent (100%) of such Incremental Transfer Tax.

(b) Responsibility for ad valorem or other similar Taxes (“Property Taxes”) levied with respect to the Purchased Assets for a taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Valuation Date will be apportioned between Seller, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, based on the number of days of such taxable period included in the Pre-Valuation Date Tax Period and the number of days of such taxable period included in the Post-Valuation Date Tax Period, respectively. To the extent that any portion of such Property Taxes is paid or required by Law to be paid by one Party hereto but required by the foregoing to be borne by another Party hereto, such other Party shall promptly reimburse the paying Party for the proper portion of the Property Tax required to be so borne upon notice from the paying Party of the amount of such Property Tax paid. Each Party shall timely and duly cause to be filed all Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all Property Taxes subject to this Section 4.7(b) that are required by Law to be filed by such Party and shall pay to the relevant Taxing Authority all such Property Taxes that are required to be paid by such Party (subject to such reimbursement as provided for herein).

(c) Any and all Taxes attributable to the Purchased Assets or to the Business, other than Transfer Taxes, Property Taxes and Taxes due with respect to Interim Taxable Income, will be borne by Seller with respect to the Pre-Valuation Date Tax Period and by Purchaser with respect to the Post-Valuation Date Tax Period, and each Party will indemnify, defend and hold the other Party harmless from and against all Taxes for which such Party is liable pursuant to this Section 4.7(c). For purposes of this Section 4.7(c): (x) the amount of any Taxes that are based on or measured by income, receipts or expenditures and that are allocable to the Pre-Valuation Date Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the Valuation Date; and (y) the amount of all other Taxes that are allocable to the Pre-Valuation Date Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such taxable period ending on the Valuation Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire taxable period.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to net taxable income recognized by Seller (or the direct or indirect owners of Seller) as a result of its ownership of the Purchased Assets on the Valuation Date through and including the Closing Date (“Interim Taxable Income”), (i) Seller (or its direct and indirect owners) shall retain responsibility for the payment of any U.S. federal and state income Taxes due with respect to such Interim Taxable Income but (ii) the aggregate amount of any indemnification claims of Purchaser (and its officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns) payable pursuant to ARTICLE VII shall be reduced and offset by an amount equal to the (A) the highest U.S. federal and California state marginal income tax rate applicable to a corporation multiplied by (B) the amount of such Interim Taxable Income.

- 28 -

(e) The Parties hereto agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to one another, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to the Business or the Purchased Assets as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns, the preparation for any audit by any Taxing Authority and the prosecution or defense of any claim or proceeding relating to any Tax Return. In the event that any Taxing Authority informs Seller or Purchaser of any notice of a proposed audit, claim, assessment or other dispute concerning an amount of Taxes related to the Business or the Purchased Assets with respect to which the other Party may be liable hereunder, the Party so informed will promptly notify the other Party of such matter; provided that failure to promptly notify will not reduce the other Party’s indemnity obligation hereunder, except to the extent such Party’s ability to defend against such matter is actually prejudiced thereby; and provided, further, that resolution of such audit, claim, assessment or other dispute will be governed by Section 7.4.

Section 4.8 Employment of Business Employees.

(a) Prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, offer employment as of the Closing Date to each Business Employee, subject to and conditional on (i) Purchaser’s customary pre-employment checks and (ii) the Closing having occurred. The Business Employees who accept an employment offer from Purchaser or any of its Affiliates on the Closing Date are referred to as the “Transferred Employees” as of the Closing Date.

(b) Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, credit Transferred Employees for service earned prior to the Closing Date with Seller and its Affiliates where required by applicable Law; provided that nothing herein shall result in a duplication of benefits with respect to the Transferred Employees.

Section 4.9 Employee Plans.

(a) Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, Purchaser and its Affiliates shall not assume any obligations under or Liabilities with respect to, or receive any right or interest in any trusts relating to, any assets of or any insurance, administration or other contracts pertaining to any of the Employee Plans.

(b) Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, all Transferred Employees will cease, effective as of the Closing Date, any participation in and any benefit accrual under each of the Employee Plans. Seller and its Affiliates shall take all necessary actions to effect such cessation of Transferred Employees’ participation under the Employee Plans. Seller and its Affiliates shall be responsible for paying the Transferred Employees for any accrued benefits under the Employee Plans. Notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 4.9(b), Transferred Employees may continue after the Closing Date to participate in those Employee Plans specified in Schedule 4.9(b) that provide health, sickness, short term and long term disability, severance, worker’s compensation, life insurance or similar benefits with respect to claims incurred by the Transferred Employees and their eligible spouses, dependents or qualified beneficiaries, as applicable, on or prior to the Closing Date.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, Purchaser and Seller shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliates to, use their respective best efforts to respond to any formal or informal requests for additional information made by any Governmental Authority and to cause the waiting periods or other requirements under the HSR Act and all other applicable antitrust or competition laws to terminate or expire at the earliest possible date (including, with respect to filings under the HSR Act, seeking early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act) and to resist in good faith

- 30 -

(including the institution or defense of legal proceedings) any assertion that the Transactions contemplated hereby constitute a violation of the antitrust or competition laws of any applicable jurisdiction, all to the end of expediting consummation of the Transactions contemplated hereby. Each of Purchaser and Seller shall (i) unless otherwise prohibited by applicable Law, promptly notify each other of any communication to that Party from the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), the United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”) or any other regulatory agency with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and permit the other Party to review in advance any proposed written communication to the FTC, the DOJ or any other regulatory agency; (ii) unless otherwise prohibited by applicable Law, furnish the other Party with copies of all correspondence, filings and other communications (and memoranda setting forth the substance thereof) between it, its Affiliates and their respective representatives, on the one hand, and the FTC, the DOJ or any other regulatory agency, or members of their respective staffs, on the other hand, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (excluding documents and communications that are subject to pre-existing confidentiality agreements or to attorney-client privilege) and (iii) to the extent feasible, consult with the other prior to any meetings, by telephone or in person, with the staff of the FTC, the DOJ or any other regulatory agency, and each of Purchaser and Seller shall, subject to the consent of the applicable Governmental Authority, have the right to have a representative present at any such meeting.

This release shall only relate to those claims relating to the conduct occurring on or before the Closing Date.

(ii) by either Seller or Purchaser if the Closing has not occurred by 5:00 p.m., Central Time, on March 31, 2017 (the “Outside Date”); provided that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 6.1(a)(ii) will not be available to any Party that is in material breach of or material default under this Agreement or whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement is the principal cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or prior to the Outside Date;

- 36 -

(iii) by either Seller or Purchaser in the event that any Governmental Authority issues (i) a Request for Additional Information and Documentary Material which extends the HSR Act waiting period beyond the applicable period as determined by the dates of the Parties’ respective HSR Act filings; or (ii) an Order restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Transactions and such Order is final and non-appealable;

(iv) by Purchaser, if Seller breaches any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, which breach (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 5.2(a) or Section 5.2(b), and (ii) has not been cured by Seller within ten (10) days after Seller’s receipt of written notice of such breach from Purchaser (provided, however, that no such cure period will be available or applicable to any such breach that by its nature cannot be cured); or

(v) by Seller, if Purchaser breaches any of its respective representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, which breach (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 5.3(a) or Section 5.3(b), and (ii) has not been cured by Purchaser within ten (10) days after Purchaser’s receipt of written notice of such breach from Seller (provided, however, that no such cure period will be available or applicable to any such breach that by its nature cannot be cured).

Section 6.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 6.1, this Agreement will forthwith become void and there will be no liability on the part of any Party except that (a) this Section 6.2 and ARTICLE VIII will survive any such termination, and (b) nothing herein will be deemed to release any Party from any liability for material breach by such Party of this Agreement prior to such termination or to impair the right of any Party to seek and compel specific performance by any other Party of its obligations under this Agreement.

ARTICLE VII

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 7.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties. If the Closing occurs, (a) the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement (other than Fundamental Representations and as set forth in clauses (b) and (c)) shall survive the Closing solely for the purposes of this ARTICLE VII and continue until the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, (b) the representations and warranties of Seller contained in Section 2.9 and Section 2.11 of this Agreement shall survive the Closing solely for the purposes of this ARTICLE VII and continue until the date that is thirty (30) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, (c) the representations and warranties of Seller contained in Section 2.13 of this Agreement shall survive the Closing solely for the purposes of this ARTICLE VII and continue until the date that is four (4) years after the Closing Date, and (d) the Fundamental Representations will survive the Closing solely for the purposes of this ARTICLE VII and continue until the date that is ten (10) years after the Closing Date. The date on which representations and warranties expire pursuant to clauses (a) through (d) is referred to as the “Expiration Date”. Except in the case of actual fraud, gross negligence or criminal misconduct, neither Purchaser nor Seller nor their respective Affiliates will have any liability whatsoever with respect to any such representations, warranties and covenants after such applicable Expiration Dates; provided that if any Claim Notice in respect of a breach of any of the representations and warranties is given in good faith pursuant to this ARTICLE VII prior to the applicable Expiration Date, the claims specifically set forth in such Claim Notice will survive until such time as such claim is finally resolved. It is the express intent of the Parties that, if the applicable Expiration Date contemplated by this Section 7.1 is shorter than the statute of limitations that would otherwise have been applicable to it, then, by Contract, the applicable statute of limitations will be reduced to the shortened Expiration Date contemplated herein.

- 37 -

Section 7.2 Indemnification.

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth in this ARTICLE VII, after the Closing, Purchaser and its Affiliates (including Mavrix, Canton Renewables, CERF Shelby, Eagle Point and Oklahoma), and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (the “Purchaser Indemnified Persons”) will be indemnified and held harmless by Seller for any and all liabilities, damages, costs or expenses, interest, awards, judgments, orders, fines and penalties (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses related thereto) actually suffered or incurred by it (each, a “Loss” and, collectively, “Losses”), to the extent such Losses result from:

(i) the breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller contained in the Transaction Agreements;

(ii) the breach of any covenant or agreement by Seller contained in the Transaction Agreements;

(iii) any Excluded Liabilities;

(iv) any Taxes for which Seller is responsible pursuant to Section 4.7; or

(v) the ownership, conduct or operation of the Purchased Assets or the Business prior to the Closing Date (other than as expressly provided in the Assumed Liabilities).

(b) Subject to the limitations set forth in this ARTICLE VII, after the Closing, Seller and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns, will be indemnified and held harmless by Purchaser for any and all Losses to the extent such Losses directly result from:

(i) the breach of any representation or warranty made by Purchaser contained in the Transaction Agreements;

(ii) the breach of any covenant or agreement by Purchaser contained in the Transaction Agreements;

(iii) any Assumed Liabilities;

(iv) any Taxes for which Purchaser is responsible pursuant to Section 4.7; or

(v) the ownership, conduct or operation of the Purchased Assets or the Business from and after the Closing Date.

Section 7.3 Limits on Indemnification.

(a) Seller shall have no liability for Losses solely for breaches of representations and warranties set forth in ARTICLE II unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses for all claims asserted by the Indemnified Party exceeds the Basket, in which event Seller shall only pay and be liable for Losses in excess of the Basket. The foregoing limitations shall not apply to claims based upon breaches of Fundamental Representations and actual fraud, gross negligence or criminal misconduct of Seller or any of its Affiliates, with respect to which, in each case, Losses in connection therewith shall be recoverable from the first dollar and shall not be counted in determining whether the threshold set forth in the preceding sentence has been exceeded. For the sole purpose of determining any Losses with respect

- 38 -

to any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant by Seller for purposes of indemnification under this ARTICLE VII (and not for determining whether or not any breaches of representations, warranties or covenants have occurred), any qualification or limitation of a representation, warranty or covenant by reference to materiality of matters stated therein or as to matters having or not having a “Material Adverse Effect,” “materiality” or words of similar effect shall be disregarded.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller’s aggregate Liability for indemnification pursuant to subsection Section 7.2(a)(i) will not exceed $15,500,000 (the “Cap”); provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing the Cap will not apply with respect to (i) any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) based on any breach of a Fundamental Representation, for which Seller’s Liability for indemnification, together with any Liability for indemnification otherwise pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) in the aggregate will not exceed the Purchase Price, or (ii) actual fraud, gross negligence or criminal misconduct of Seller or any of its Affiliates.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event will any Indemnified Party be entitled to recover under Section 7.2 after the applicable Expiration Date set forth in Section 7.1 unless a Claim Notice was delivered prior to such time.

(d) Any Losses hereunder will be determined without duplication of recovery that would result from the set of facts giving rise to such Losses constituting a breach or other violation of more than one representation, warranty or covenant hereunder.

(e) There will be no obligation to indemnify under Section 7.2 to the extent the Loss relates to any breach of representation, warranty or covenant expressly waived in writing by the Indemnified Party.

(f) NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES, AND THE RECOVERY BY AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY OF ANY LOSSES SUFFERED OR INCURRED BY IT AS A RESULT OF ANY BREACH OR NONFULFILLMENT BY A PARTY OF ANY OF ITS REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, COVENANTS, AGREEMENTS OR OTHER OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, SHALL, EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF ACTUAL FRAUD, GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR CRIMINAL MISCONDUCT, BE LIMITED TO DIRECT DAMAGES ARISING FROM SUCH BREACH OR NONFULFILLMENT AND REASONABLY FORESEEABLE BY THE PARTIES AS OF THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT, BUT NOT DAMAGES INDIRECTLY ARISING FROM SUCH BREACH OR NONFULFILLMENT, AND SHALL NOT INCLUDE OR APPLY TO, NOR SHALL ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER, ANY INDIRECT, SPECULATIVE, REMOTE, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES SUFFERED OR INCURRED BY SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY. For purposes of the foregoing, Losses may include indirect, speculative, remote, exemplary or punitive damages to the extent (i) the injuries or losses resulting in or giving rise to such damages are incurred or suffered by a third party who is not an Affiliate of a Party, and (ii) such damages are recovered against an Indemnified Party by a Person that is a third party who is not an Affiliate of a Party. This Section 7.3(f) shall operate only to limit a Party’s liability and shall not operate to increase or expand any contractual obligation of a Party.

(g) No Indemnified Party will be entitled to indemnification under this ARTICLE VII with respect to any Third Party Claim unless and until the final amount of recoverable Losses (if any) are determined by a final, non-appealable judgment or award, or settlement entered into in accordance with this ARTICLE VII, in each case that is binding on such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party.

- 39 -

Section 7.4 Notice of Claims.

(a) If (i) any third party or Governmental Authority institutes, threatens or asserts any Proceeding that may give rise to Losses for which a party (an “Indemnifying Party”) may be liable for indemnification under this ARTICLE VII (a “Third Party Claim”) or (ii) any Person entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (an “Indemnified Party”) has a claim to be indemnified by an Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”), then the Indemnified Party will promptly send to the Indemnifying Party a written notice (a “Claim Notice”) specifying (to the extent known) in reasonable detail the nature of such claim and the amount of all related Losses (the “Claim Amount”); provided, however, that any failure to give such Claim Notice or to provide any such facts or amounts will not affect the rights of the Indemnified Parties, except to the extent that such failure materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party.

(b) In the event of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled, but not obligated, to assume and control the defense of such Third Party Claim at its expense if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such notice from the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that, if there exists or is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party will be entitled to retain its own counsel, as is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party, at the expense of the Indemnified Party; provided, further, that if the Indemnifying Party is Seller, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim that seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party exercises the right to undertake any such defense against any such Third Party Claim as provided above, the Indemnified Party will cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. Similarly, if the Indemnified Party, directly or indirectly, is conducting the defense against any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will cooperate with the Indemnified Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnified Party all such witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnifying Party’s possession or under the Indemnifying Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Indemnified Party will have any obligation to make available to the Indemnifying Party any information if making such information available would (i) jeopardize any attorney-client privilege or (ii) contravene any applicable Law, fiduciary duty or binding agreement (including any confidentiality agreement to which the Indemnified Party is a party) (it being understood that Indemnified Party will cooperate in any reasonable efforts and requests for waivers that would enable otherwise required disclosure to the Indemnifying Party to occur without contravening such Law, duty or agreement).

(c) No Third Party Claim that is being defended by the Indemnifying Party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement will be settled by the Indemnifying Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or withheld) unless (i) the terms of the proposed settlement include as an unconditional and with-prejudice term thereof the granting by the third party to any relevant Indemnified Party a release from all Liability in respect of such Third Party Claim; (ii) there is (A) no finding or admission of any violation of Law by any Indemnified Party and (B) no finding or admission of any violation of the rights of any Person by any Indemnified Party; and (iii) the sole form of relief is monetary damages that will be paid in full by the Indemnifying Party. No Third Party Claim that is being defended by the Indemnified Party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement will be settled by the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or withheld) unless the Indemnified Party agrees to bear the Liability for such settlement.

- 40 -

(d) In the event of a Direct Claim, the Indemnifying Party will have thirty (30) days from receipt of a Claim Notice to deliver a written statement objecting to the Direct Claim made in such Claim Notice explaining in reasonable detail and in good faith the basis for such objection. If the Indemnifying Party has not delivered to the Indemnified Party such written statement within such thirty (30)-day period, then (i) the Indemnifying Party will be deemed to have irrevocably waived any right to object to such Indemnification Claim and to have agreed that Losses in the amount of the applicable Claim Amount are indemnifiable hereunder, and (ii) as promptly as practicable and within five (5) Business Days following expiration of such thirty (30)-day period, the Indemnifying Party will cause the Claim Amount to be paid to the Indemnified Party by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated in writing to the Indemnifying Party within two (2) Business Days of the expiration of such thirty (30)-day period. If not paid, the Indemnified Party may seek enforcement of the obligation with respect to the Indemnification Claim in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(e) If an Indemnifying Party objects in writing to any Direct Claim made in any Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party will attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective Parties with respect to each of such Direct Claim. If the Parties should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement will be prepared and signed by both Parties. As promptly as practicable, and within five (5) Business Days following execution of such memorandum, the Indemnifying Party will cause the Claim Amount specified in the executed memorandum to be paid to the Indemnified Party by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated in writing to the Indemnifying Party within two (2) Business Days following execution of such memorandum. If not paid, the Indemnified Party may seek enforcement of the obligation with respect to the Indemnification Claim in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 7.5 Indemnification as Exclusive Remedy; Specific Performance. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, except in the case of actual fraud, gross negligence or criminal misconduct and except as provided in Section 1.2(c)(iv) and Section 1.3(c), the indemnification provided in this ARTICLE VII will be the sole and exclusive remedy for any claims after the Closing Date arising under or relating to this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the other Party would be damaged irreparably if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached. Accordingly, each of the Parties agrees that the other Party will be entitled to an injunction to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof (including the indemnification provisions hereof) in any competent court having jurisdiction over the Parties, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled at Law or in equity.

Section 7.6 No Set-Off. Purchaser will not have any right to set off any unresolved indemnification claim pursuant to this ARTICLE VII against, and there will not otherwise be any right to set off or counterclaim in the event of the non-performance of any obligation to make, (a) any payment due pursuant to this Agreement, (b) any payment due under any other Transaction Agreement or (c) any payment due under the Supply Agreement or any other agreement with Seller or one of its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall have a right of set-off as provided in Section 1.3(g).

Section 7.7 Effect of Insurance; Mitigation.

(a) The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this ARTICLE VII will be reduced by any amounts that are recovered by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates from any insurance proceeds or other cash receipts or source of reimbursement that may be received by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates with respect to such Losses (each such source, a “Collateral Source”), net of any reasonable out-of-pocket costs of pursuing such recovery, any premium

- 41 -

adjustments and any self-insured retentions. The Indemnified Party will, and will cause its Affiliates to, diligently pursue all available remedies and causes of action to recover the amount of its claim as may be available from any Collateral Source.

(b) In the event that an Indemnified Party willfully fails to use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate Losses associated with an indemnifiable claim, the Indemnifying Party will have no liability for any portion of such Losses that reasonably could have been avoided had the Indemnified Party not willfully failed to so use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate.

Section 7.8 Effect of Investigation. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its Representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate or by reason of the Indemnified Party’s waiver of any condition set forth in ARTICLE V.

Section 7.9 Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. Seller and Purchaser agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to this ARTICLE VII as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all applicable Tax purposes, including for U.S. federal income tax and for state tax purposes.

Section 7.10 No Contribution by the Acquired Entities. None of Mavrix, Canton Renewables or CERF Shelby will have any liability to any Indemnifying Party as a result of (a) any misrepresentation or breach of representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or any certificate, schedule, instrument, agreement or other writing delivered by or on behalf of, or in respect of, Mavrix, Canton Renewables or CERF Shelby pursuant to this Agreement, or any certificate, schedule, instrument, agreement, or other writing delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated this Agreement or (b) the breach of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or any certificate, schedule, instrument, agreement, or other writing by or on behalf of, or in respect of, Mavrix, Canton Renewables or CERF Shelby pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any certificate, schedule, instrument, agreement, or other writing delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 8.5 Successors and Assigns.

(a) This Agreement may not be assigned by any Party by operation of law or otherwise, except with the prior written consent of the other Parties; provided that Purchaser may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any Affiliate of Purchaser without the prior written consent of Seller; provided, further, that no such assignment shall relieve Purchaser of its obligations hereunder.

(b) Any attempted or purported assignment of this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 8.5 will be null and void, have no force or effect and confer no rights upon any third parties. Subject to compliance with the provisions of this Section 8.5, the provisions of this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors, assigns and transferees.

Section 8.7 Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may not be amended, supplemented or modified except by an agreement in writing signed by Purchaser and Seller. No waiver will be effective unless it is in writing and is signed by the Party asserted to have granted such waiver.

Section 8.8 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable will be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof, and the remaining provisions will be construed and enforced in all respects as if such invalid or unenforceable provision or provisions had been omitted and substituted with a provision that is valid, legal and enforceable and most closely effectuates the original intent of this Agreement. The invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction will not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 8.9 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party and its successors and permitted assigns, and, except as expressly provided in Section 7.2, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or will confer upon any other Persons any rights or remedies hereunder.

Section 8.10 Interpretation.

(a) As used in this Agreement, references to the Preamble or to the Recitals, Articles, Sections, subsections, clauses, Annexes, Schedules or Exhibits are to the Preamble or a Recital or Section, subsection, clause or Article of, or an Annex, Schedules or Exhibit to, this Agreement unless otherwise specified.

(b) The various headings and subheadings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and do not limit or otherwise affect any of the provisions of this Agreement.

(c) Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they will be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” Any singular term in this Agreement will be deemed to include the plural and any plural term the singular. All pronouns and variations of pronouns will be deemed to refer to the feminine, masculine or neuter, singular or plural, as the identity of the Person referred to may require.

- 44 -

(d) For purposes of the provisions of this Agreement, a document or other instrument shall be deemed to have been “provided,” “furnished,” “delivered” or “made available” to Purchaser only when such document or other instrument has been uploaded onto the Data Room no later than the second (2nd) Business Day prior to the Agreement Date in a manner fully readable by Purchaser and not removed prior to the Closing.

(e) The Schedules and Exhibits identified in this Agreement, including the Disclosure Schedule, are incorporated herein by reference and made a part of this Agreement.

Section 8.11 No Presumption Against Drafting Party. Each Party agrees that it has been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waives the application of any applicable Law or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.

Section 8.12 Counterparts; Electronic Signature. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts (by original or facsimile signature), each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. The exchange of copies of this Agreement, or any amendment hereto, any signature pages required hereunder or thereunder by facsimile or Portable Document Format (“PDF”) transmission will constitute effective execution and delivery of same as to the Parties and may be used in lieu of the original document for all purposes. Signature transmitted by facsimile or PDF will be deemed to be original signatures for all purposes.

Section 8.13 Counsel. Purchaser acknowledges that both Seller’s in-house and outside counsel (collectively, “Counsel”) represents only Seller and not the Business in the Transactions and that any advice given to or communication with Seller by Counsel to the extent it was (a) primarily related to the Transactions (and not for the general business purposes of Mavrix, Canton Renewables or CERF Shelby), and (b) given or communicated on or after May 1, 2016 (“Transaction Advice”), is not and will not be subject to any joint privilege and is and will be owned solely by Seller. Seller acknowledges that any advice given to or communication with Seller by Counsel to the extent it was (i) given or communicated prior to May 1, 2016, or (ii) for the general business purposes of Mavrix, Canton Renewables or CERF Shelby (whether given or communicated before, on or after May 1, 2016) is not subject to any joint privilege and is and will be owned solely by Mavrix, Canton Renewables or CERF Shelby, as applicable. The attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product protection and expectation of client confidence arising from Counsel’s representation of the Business prior to the Closing to the extent primarily related to the Transaction Advice, and all information and documents covered by such privilege or protection, will belong to and be controlled by Seller or Counsel and may be waived only by Seller or Counsel, and not Purchaser or the Business, and will not pass to or be claimed or used by Purchaser or the Business; provided that Purchaser, Mavrix, Canton Renewables or CERF Shelby may assert the privilege in any Proceeding against a third party. Purchaser acknowledges that Counsel have acted as counsel for Seller and that, in the event of any post-Closing matters or disputes between the parties hereto, Seller anticipates that Counsel will represent it in such matters or disputes. Purchaser consents to Counsel’s representation of Seller in any post-Closing matter or dispute in which the interests of Purchaser or the Business, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, are adverse, whether or not such matter or dispute is substantially related to one in which Counsel may have previously advised the Business. Purchaser consents to the disclosure by Counsel to Seller of any information learned or documents or communications prepared by Counsel in the course of their representation of the Business prior to Closing to the extent related to the Transaction Advice (“Work Product”), whether or not such information is subject to the attorney-client privilege or Counsel’s duty of confidentiality as to the Business and whether or not such disclosure is made before or after the Closing.

- 45 -

(a) In order to induce Purchaser and Purchaser Guarantor to execute and deliver this Agreement, Seller Parent hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees in full the due, punctual and full payment of Seller’s (including its permitted designees’ and assigns’) payment obligations hereunder when due (and including in connection with any breach of any of Seller’s representations or warranties or covenants and agreements herein), subject to any and all limitations expressly provided hereunder. If Seller fails or refuses to timely pay any such obligations and liabilities, Seller Parent shall promptly pay such obligations or liabilities after any such failure or refusal, as applicable.

If Purchaser fails or refuses to timely pay any such obligations and liabilities, Purchaser Guarantor shall promptly pay such obligations or liabilities after any such failure or refusal, as applicable, subject to the aggregate limitation set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. The obligations of Purchaser Guarantor under this Section 8.14(b) shall survive the Closing and/or termination of this Agreement and continue in full force and effect thereafter.

Exhibit 99.1

BP and Clean Energy Partner to Expand U.S. Renewable Natural Gas

Transportation Fueling Capabilities

BP to Acquire Clean Energy’s Upstream Renewable Natural Gas Business

and Sign Long-Term Supply Agreement with Clean Energy

Release date: 1 March 2017

CHICAGO, Ill. and NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. – BP p.l.c. (NYSE: BP) and Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (Nasdaq: CLNE) today announced that BP will acquire the upstream portion of Clean Energy’s renewable natural gas business and sign a long-term supply contract with Clean Energy to support the firm’s continuing downstream renewable natural gas business. The deal enables both companies to accelerate the growth in renewable natural gas supply and meet the growing demand of the natural gas vehicle fuel market.

Renewable natural gas fuel, or biomethane, is produced entirely from organic waste. As a fuel for natural gas vehicle fleets, including heavy-duty trucks, it is estimated to result in up to 70 percent lower greenhouse gas emissions than from equivalent gasoline or diesel fueled vehicles.

Under terms of the agreement, BP will pay $155 million for Clean Energy’s existing biomethane production facilities, its share of two new facilities and its existing third party supply contracts for renewable natural gas. Closing the transaction is subject to regulatory approval. Clean Energy will continue to have access to a secure and expanding supply to sell to the growing customer base of its Redeem^™-branded renewable natural gas fuel through a long-term supply contract with BP.

“Demand for renewable natural gas is growing quickly and BP is pleased to expand our supply capability in this area,” said Alan Haywood, chief executive officer of BP’s supply and trading business. “BP is committed to supporting developments towards a lower carbon future and, working with Clean Energy, we believe we will be well-positioned to participate in the growth of this lower carbon fuel in the U.S.”

Clean Energy, in turn, will be able to expand its Redeem customer base at its North American network of natural gas fueling stations, allowing customers to take advantage of the ease and affordability of switching to a fuel that is both renewable and can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions compared with diesel.

“We started our Redeem fueling business from scratch less than four years ago and have grown it into a significant enterprise,” said Andrew Littlefair, Clean Energy’s president and chief executive officer. “This transaction will help to take it to the next level. BP’s investment in and focus on renewable natural gas supply will ensure that Clean Energy can meet the growing demand of our customers for low carbon, renewable fuel.”

Clean Energy will buy renewable natural gas fuel from BP and collect royalties on gas purchased from BP and sold as Redeem at it stations. This royalty payment is in addition to any payment under BP’s contractual obligation.

Notes to editors:

•

The assets which BP will acquire are Clean Energy’s existing biomethane production facilities in Canton, Mich. and North Shelby, Tenn. as well as Clean Energy’s share of two facilities under construction in Oklahoma City, Okla. and Atlanta, Ga.

•

BP will continue to subcontract the operations of these facilities to Clean Energy.

•

Launched in its California stations in October 2013, Clean Energy sold 60 million gasoline gallon equivalents of Redeem in 2016 to customers across multiple states including UPS, Republic Services, Ryder, Kroger and the City of Santa Monica’s transit agency. Redeem is the cleanest transportation fuel commercially available for heavy duty vehicles in the U.S. today.

•

Redeem renewable natural gas is derived from biogenic methane, biomethane or biogas, which is methane that is naturally generated by the decomposition of organic waste. The methane gas is processed, purified and sent into the interstate natural gas pipeline and is currently made available exclusively to Clean Energy customers.

•

Clean Energy will be hosting a conference call today at 10:00 am EST for analysts and reporters with Andrew Littlefair and Harrison Clay, president of Clean Energy Renewables, to answer any questions about today’s announcement. To access the call, dial +1 877 451 6152 in the U.S. and +1 201 389 0879 internationally.
