Global Clean Energy Holdings Forms Joint Venture With Accomplished Agricultural & Alternative Energy Entrepreneurs; Venture to Acquire and Develop Land in Mexico to Grow Jatropha Trees
Global Clean Energy Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: GCEH) announced that it has formed a 50-50 joint venture with Los Angeles Businessmen Stewart A. Resnick and Selim K. Zilkha, both highly accomplished entrepreneurs who have developed successful agricultural & alternative energy companies. The joint venture’s mission is to acquire and develop non-food based land in Mexico to grow Jatropha curcas and commercialize oil and biomass derived from its fruit and seeds. Global Clean Energy Holdings and the joint venture partners have created a wholly-owned Mexican corporation to pursue these acquisition and development activities. Global Clean Energy Holdings, Inc. will manage the operations of the corporation and expects to consolidate the results for financial reporting purposes.
Under the terms of the joint venture, the investors will provide the capital to acquire the raw land and fund operations. The land the joint venture will plant and grow Jatropha on is non-productive land that has never been used for food production or for other agricultural purposes.
“We are excited that we have been able to form a partnership with two such accomplished and forward thinking executives,” said Richard Palmer, Global Clean Energy’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Both Stewart and Selim have built highly successful companies, and we believe that their combined expertise in the agricultural and alternative energy sectors will prove invaluable as we commercialize oil and biomass derived from the seeds of Jatropha curcas.”
Mr. Resnick is chairman and owner of Roll International Corporation, a Los Angeles-based holding company, and has developed and owns a number of companies, including Paramount Agribusiness, POM Wonderful, Teleflora, FIJI Water, and Suterra. He is a member of the boards of UCLA Medical Sciences, Bard College in New York, and Conservation International and is a trustee of the California Institute of Technology.
“I am excited to participate in the acquisition and development of Jatropha,” said Mr. Resnick. “As somebody who has been actively involved in agribusiness for many years, I recognize the urgent need to develop energy feedstocks from sources that are not involved with the production of food, and we are very encouraged with the potential of Jatropha.”
Mr. Zilkha formed Zilkha Renewable Energy, a wind farm developer, in 1998 and sold it to banking giant Goldman Sachs in 2005. Currently he has business interests in Zilkha Biomass Energy, a company developing biomass to electricity solutions in the United States; Socratech, a biotech company that has as its goal the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of a variety of brain disorders; and Laetitia, a vineyard and winery in Arroyo Grande, CA. In 1983, he entered the energy business, starting Zilkha Energy Co., a successful enterprise that explored the Gulf of Mexico for oil and gas. The company was sold to Sonat Inc in 1998, which, in turn, was acquired by El Paso Corporation in 1999. In 1960, he founded Mothercare, a retail chain specializing in everything for the mother-to-be and her baby with branches in the United Kingdom, Europe, and the United States. He sold his interest in Mothercare in 1982.
“I am pleased to participate in this joint venture,” added Mr. Zilkha. “As somebody who has been at the forefront of developing alternative energy technologies for many years, I believe the Jatropha plant has the potential to be one of the significant solutions for the energy and environmental issues facing this planet.”

Sunovia Completes Equity Raise
Proceeds Allocated to Scalable Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) Solar Cell Manufacturing Facility and High-Efficiency LED Lighting Solutions
Sunovia Energy Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: SUNV) announced that it has completed its mezzanine round of financing. The company has currently raised a total of $12 million, and continues to allocate proceeds to the development of the scalable CdTe-based solar cell manufacturing facility and sales of the EvoLucia(TM) LED-based solid-state lighting solutions.
Sunovia and EPIR Technologies, Inc. (EPIR) have exclusively partnered to demonstrate a scalable manufacturing system for the production of low-cost, high-efficiency CdTe solar cells. More than $25 million has been invested into the companies' core CdTe research, development and design for the high-throughput CdTe-based manufacturing facility. Unlike other solar cell manufacturers that require substantial square footage for manufacturing, the companies' advanced manufacturing concepts should allow them to produce more than 100 megawatts (MWs) of high-efficiency CdTe solar cells within a 10,000 square foot area. The companies anticipate that the first scalable manufacturing system will be operational in less than 24 months and will have the capacity to produce more than 10 MWs of CdTe-based solar cells during the first year immediately thereafter.
"Initially, the high-efficiency CdTe-based solar cells are targeted at concentrated solar photovoltaic (PV) systems that support the commercial and utility-scale renewable energy markets. After demonstrating the scalable 10 MW high-throughput CdTe manufacturing system, we believe that the company will be ideally positioned to add additional capacity within a relatively short period of time in a cost-effective manner. In addition, the core manufacturing system is designed to have a very small footprint and can be scaled to meet the increasing demands, which are anticipated for this market throughout the foreseeable future," said Carl Smith, CEO of Sunovia. "Our aim is to achieve, or even undercut, the cost-per-watt manufacturing targets and timeframes, which are identified within the Department of Energy's Solar America Initiative, and we believe that we are uniquely positioned to accomplish this."
In addition, Sunovia's LED lighting subsidiary, EvoLucia(TM), recently completed a commercial installation of its ceiling or wall-mounted LED-based solid-state lighting solution. The installation called for the replacement of antiquated 120 watt incandescent fixtures with the new 22 watt EvoLucia(TM) fixtures which represents more than an 81% reduction in carbon emissions and more than a $1,000 savings per light over the life of the EvoLucia(TM) product. The energy and maintenance savings to this customer allow the fixture cost to be recovered within 18 months of the installation. EvoLucia products are guaranteed for five years and have a projected lifetime of at least 50,000 hours, or more than 15 years for products that are utilized eight hours everyday.
"LED lighting is the smartest and most efficient answer to energy-efficient lighting. When compact fluorescent bulbs are thrown away, the mercury (Hg) component poisons the land, and runoff allows the mercury to pollute our waterways. Our cost-efficient and environmentally responsible LED lighting products are the smartest answer to energy-efficient lighting. If you use compact fluorescent bulbs, please recycle them properly as future generations will pay severely for these shortsighted 'solutions'," added Smith.
