FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
l This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions, such as statements regarding the number and location of stations to be included in the natural gas highway system, the timing for the completion of construction of these stations, the availability and deployment of, as well as the demand for, natural gas truck engines, and the potential for a natural gas highway system. We caution you not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements.
l Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of several factors including, but not limited to, changes in the prices of natural gas relative to gasoline and diesel, the Company’s failure to recognize the anticipated benefits of building America’s Natural Gas Highway, the availability and deployment of, as well as the demand for, natural gas engines that are well-suited for the U.S. long-haul, heavy-duty truck market, future availability of equity or debt financing needed to fund the growth of the Company’s business, the Company’s ability to source and supply sufficient LNG to meet the needs of its business, the Company’s ability to efficiently manage its growth and retain and hire key personnel, the acceptance of natural gas vehicles in the Company’s markets, the availability of natural gas vehicles, relaxation or waiver of fuel emission standards, the Company’s ability to compete successfully, the Company’s failure to manage risks and uncertainties related its international operations, construction and permitting delays at station construction projects, the Company’s ability to integrate acquisitions, the availability of tax and related government incentives for natural gas fueling and vehicles, compliance with governmental regulations and the Company’s ability to manage and grow its RNG business. The forward-looking statements made herein speak only as of the date of this press release and the Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly such forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances, except as otherwise required by law. Additionally, the Company's Form 10-Q filed on May 7, 2012 with the SEC (www.sec.gov) contains risk factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation.

Clean Energy Renewable Fuels: Who We Are
l Goal: Clean Energy Renewable Fuels is dedicated to developing biomethane production assets that generate the highest possible financial return and producing renewable natural gas at a cost that is below the price of conventional natural gas
l Expertise: Our national marketing and distribution for natural gas vehicle fuel, CNG and LNG fuel infrastructure expertise and knowledge of environmental commodity markets ensure that we will be able to sell biomethane at the highest price into the best markets
l Opportunity: CERF continues to expand our RNG portfolio by developing additional LFG projects and working with various third party developers

Refuse Market
l Rapidly Growing Market – We have 80+ refuse customers – We fuel 4,000+ NG trucks – 200,000 truck addressable market – 2 billion gallons/year market
l Model return-to-base fleet – CE built the first time-fill station
for WM in 1998 – Provides lowest cost station – Most efficient fueling (labor) solution – WM and Republic are partners
l Incremental truck cost is less than $20,000 – Accelerating adoption

Dallas Clean Energy, LLC: McCommas Bluff
l City of Dallas owns & operates landfill
l Dallas Clean Energy, LLC (“DCE”) purchased biogas rights & processing plant
l Joint Venture w/ Cambrian Energy
l PSA clean-up system
l Current capacity 9.4MM CFD in & 4.7MM CFD out
l Anticipate 7.5MM CFD out by 2015
l Equal to 60,000 gasoline gallon equivalents a day of vehicle fuel
9
Sauk Trail Hills
l Landfill owned and operated by Republic Services
l CERF has contributed to wellfield upgrades and been responsible for project development
l 4.6 MM CFD of processing capacity (raw biogas)
l Equal to ~20,000 gasoline gallon equivalents a day of vehicle fuel
10
Biomethane: Best & Highest Use
l If all government incentives for biomethane production & use were equal – what would be the highest, best use?
l #1: Vehicle Fuel: No other readily available alternative fuel to gasoline & diesel that can achieve all of the following: – 90% reduction in GHG emissions associated with transportation – Renewable – Easily distributed through existing infrastructure locally, regionally & nationally – Suitable for all applications from light duty passenger to heavy duty trucking

Leveraging a More Mature Marketplace
l Gas separation equipment allows us to purify methane to pipeline quality
l Extensive pipeline network – US has over 305,000 miles of interstate and intrastate NG
transmission pipelines – US has an additional 1.8mm miles of distribution pipelines
l Storage capabilities
l Expanding vehicle fueling infrastructure • Both CNG & LNG • CE has over 255 fueling stations in operation
– CE has a mix of liquefaction assets

RNG
• Clean Energy is uniquely positioned to provide fleets with a customizable blend of renewable natural gas vehicle fuel (CNG & LNG) • The USEPA’s Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS2) provides economic support for the utilization of renewable natural gas as a vehicle fuel (advanced biofuel) • Blending renewable natural gas with conventional natural can help increase the carbon reduction of natural gas vehicle fuel (CNG & LNG) • Renewable natural gas blends can also provide an economic hedge and the ability to mitigate risk related to fuel prices

What can be achieved in today’s world?
1. Convert a liability (environmental & financial) into an asset
2. Save/make money
3. Provide the cleanest, most sustainable fuel available to U.S. fleets
4. Hedge commodity price risk
5. Continue to tap biomethane resources and produce the highest
economic value for the product
6. Significantly reduce GHG emmissions
