Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 1 —Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The Company and Nature of Business Clean Energy Fuels Corp., together with its majority and wholly owned subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Company,” unless the context or the use of the term indicates or requires otherwise) is engaged in the business of selling renewable and conventional natural gas as alternative fuels for vehicle fleets and related fueling solutions to its customers, primarily in the United States and Canada. The Company’s principal business is supplying renewable natural gas (“RNG”) and conventional natural gas, in the form of compressed natural gas (“CNG”) and liquefied natural gas (“LNG”), for medium and heavy-duty vehicles and providing operation and maintenance (“O&M”) services for public and private vehicle fleet customer stations. The Company is also focused on developing, owning, and operating dairy and other livestock waste RNG projects and supplying RNG (currently procured solely from third party sources and will be supplemented by internally produced RNG when the Company’s RNG projects come online) to its customers in the heavy and medium-duty commercial transportation sector. As a comprehensive clean energy solutions provider, the Company also designs and builds, as well as operates and maintains, public and private vehicle fueling stations in the United States and Canada; sells and services compressors and other equipment used in RNG production and at fueling stations; transports and sells RNG and conventional natural gas, in the form of CNG and LNG, via “virtual” natural gas pipelines and interconnects; sells U.S. federal, state and local government credits it generates by selling RNG in the form of CNG and LNG as a vehicle fuel, including Renewable Identification Numbers (“RIN Credits” or “RINs”) under the federal Renewable Fuel Standard Phase 2 and credits under the California and the Oregon Low Carbon Fuel Standards (collectively, “LCFS Credits”); and obtains federal, state and local tax credits, grants and incentives. Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity, and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and these notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates and may result in material effects on the Company’s operating results and financial position. Significant estimates made in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements include (but are not limited to) those related to revenue recognition, fair value measurements, goodwill and long-lived asset valuations and impairment assessments, income tax valuations, stock-based compensation expense and stock-based sales incentive charges. Inventory Inventory consists of raw materials and spare parts, work in process and finished goods and is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or net realizable value. The Company evaluates inventory balances for excess quantities and obsolescence by analyzing estimated demand, inventory on hand, sales levels and other information and reduces inventory balances to net realizable value for excess and obsolete inventory based on this analysis. Inventories consisted of the following as of December 31, 2021 and 2022 (in thousands): 2021 2022 Raw materials and spare parts $ 31,302 $ 37,144 Total inventory $ 31,302 $ 37,144 Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities In connection with the Company’s Zero Now Zero Now Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization are recognized over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives of depreciable assets are three LNG trailers three Included in “Land, property and equipment, net” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets were grant proceeds of $27.8 million and $24.9 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively. Accumulated amortization of the grant proceeds was $18.0 million and $16.5 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively. The Company recorded amortization expense relating to grant proceeds of $1.7 million, $1.7 million and $1.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively. No grant proceeds were received for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2020. Total grant proceeds received were approximately $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. Leases On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842, Leases At the inception of a contract the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The Company’s assessment is based on: (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether the Company obtains the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (3) whether the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. The commencement date of the contract is the date the lessor makes the underlying asset available for use by the lessee. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and lease liabilities represent obligations to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the net present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets also include any initial direct costs and advance lease payments made and exclude lease incentives. Lease liabilities also include terminal purchase options when deemed reasonably certain to exercise. The Company’s lease term includes options to extend when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise that option. The Company has elected not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a term of 12 months or less; the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. As most of the Company’s operating leases do not have an implicit rate that can be readily determined, the Company uses its secured incremental borrowing rate for the same term as the underlying lease based on information available at lease commencement. For finance leases, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease. The lease classification affects the expense recognition on the consolidated statements of operations. Operating lease charges are recorded in “Cost of sales, exclusive of depreciation and amortization,” and “Selling, general and administrative” expense. Finance lease charges are split, whereby depreciation on assets under finance leases is recorded in “Depreciation and amortization” expense and an implied interest component is recorded in “Interest expense.” The expense recognition for operating leases and finance leases is substantially consistent with legacy accounting. Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets with finite useful lives, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Events that could result in an impairment review include, among others, a significant decrease in the operating performance of a long-lived asset or asset group or the decision to close a fueling station. Impairment testing involves a comparison of the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows of the asset or asset group to its carrying amount. If the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows exceeds the carrying amount, then no impairment exists. If the carrying amount exceeds the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows, then a second step is performed to determine the amount of impairment, if any, to be recognized. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset or asset group exceeds its fair value. The fair value of the asset or asset group is based on estimated discounted future cash flows of the asset or asset group using a discount rate commensurate with the related risk. The estimate of future cash flows requires management to make assumptions and to apply judgment, including forecasting future sales and expenses and estimating useful lives of the assets. These estimates can be affected by a number of factors, including, among others, future results, demand, and economic conditions, many of which can be difficult to predict. There were no impairments of the Company’s long-lived assets in the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives of intangible assets with finite useful lives are one one two The Company’s intangible assets as of December 31, 2021 and 2022 were as follows (in thousands): 2021 2022 Customer relationships $ 5,376 $ 5,376 Acquired contracts 9,884 10,299 Trademark and trade names 2,700 2,700 Non-compete agreements 860 860 Total intangible assets 18,820 19,235 Less accumulated amortization (13,320) (13,320) Net intangible assets $ 5,500 $ 5,915 Amortization expense for intangible assets was $0.8 million and $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively. No amortization expense for intangible assets was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2022. In connection with the Company’s investment in anaerobic digester gas (“ADG”) RNG production projects, the Company acquired contractual rights relating to manure feedstock totaling $5.5 million and $0.4 million in 2021 and 2022, respectively. The amounts paid for contractual rights to manure feedstock are classified and included under “Acquired contracts” in the table above.The acquired contractual rights to manure feedstock have a contractual term ranging from 20 Estimated amortization expense subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2022 is expected to be approximately $0.0 million in 2023, $0.1 million in 2024, $0.3 million in 2025, $0.3 million in 2026, $0.3 million in 2027, and $4.9 million thereafter. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of costs incurred over the fair value of the net assets of acquired businesses. The Company assesses its goodwill using either a qualitative or quantitative approach to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of its reporting unit is less than its carrying value. The Company is required to use judgment when applying the goodwill impairment test, including, among other considerations, the identification of reporting unit(s), the assessment of qualitative factors, and the estimation of fair value of a reporting unit in the quantitative approach. The Company determined that it is a single reporting unit for the purpose of goodwill impairment tests. The Company performs the impairment test annually on October 1, or more frequently if facts and circumstances warrant a review. The qualitative goodwill assessment includes the evaluation of potential impact on a reporting unit’s fair value of certain events and circumstances, including its enterprise value, macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, and other relevant entity-specific events. If it is determined, based upon the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount, then a quantitative impairment test is performed. The quantitative assessment estimates the reporting unit’s fair value based on its enterprise value plus an assumed control premium as evidence of fair value. The estimates used to determine the fair value of the reporting unit may change based on results of operations, macroeconomic conditions, stock price fluctuations, or other factors. Changes in these estimates could materially affect our assessment of the fair value and goodwill impairment for the reporting unit. During the years ended The following table summarizes the activity related to the carrying amount of goodwill (in thousands): Balance as of December 31, 2020 $ 64,328 Balance as of December 31, 2021 $ 64,328 Balance as of December 31, 2022 $ 64,328 Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to its customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods or services. To achieve that core principle, a five-step approach is applied: (1) identify the contract with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue allocated to each performance obligation when the Company satisfies the performance obligation. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account for revenue recognition. The Company is generally the principal in its customer contracts because it has control over the goods and services prior to them being transferred to the customer, and as such, revenue is recognized on a gross basis. Sales and usage-based taxes are excluded from revenues. Revenue is recognized net of allowances for returns and any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. Product Revenue Volume-Related The Company’s volume-related product revenue consists of sales of RNG and conventional natural gas, in the form of CNG and LNG, AFTC incentives, and sales of RINs and LCFS Credits in addition to Amazon Warrant Charges (defined in Note 13) and changes in fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments associated with providing fuel to customers under contracts. RNG and conventional natural gas are sold pursuant to contractual commitments over defined delivery periods. These contracts typically include a stand-ready obligation to supply natural gas. The Company applies the ‘right to invoice’ practical expedient and recognizes fuel revenue in the amount to which the Company has the right to invoice. The Company has a right to consideration based on the amount of gasoline gallon equivalents (“GGEs”) of fuel dispensed by the customer and current pricing conditions. The Company calculates one GGE to equal 125,000 British Thermal Units (“BTUs”), and, as such, one million BTUs (“MMBTU”) equal eight GGEs. Customers are typically billed on a monthly basis. Since payment terms are less than a year, the Company has elected the practical expedient which allows it to not assess whether a customer contract has a significant financing component. Contract modifications are not distinct from the existing contract and are typically renewals of fuel sales. As a result, these modifications are accounted for as if they were part of the existing contract. The effect of a contract modification on the transaction price is recognized prospectively. The Company sells RINs and LCFS Credits to third parties that need the credits to comply with federal and state requirements. Revenue is recognized on these credits when there is an agreement in place to monetize the credits at a determinable price and the RNG fuel has been sold. The sales price for some environmental credit transactions may not be determinable in the period in which the RNG was sold as pricing is established in the quarter after the RNG was sold. In these circumstances, revenue from RIN and LCFS credits is recognized once the sales price has been established and therefore is considered determinable. Amazon Warrant Charges are determined based on the grant date fair value of the award, and the associated non-cash stock-based sales incentive charges, which are recorded as a reduction of revenue, are recognized as the customer purchases fuel and vesting conditions become probable of being achieved. See discussion under “Amazon Warrant” below and Note 13 for additional information. The changes in fair value of derivative instruments relate to the Company’s commodity swap and customer fueling contracts under the Zero Now Zero Now AFTC is generated when RNG or conventional natural gas is sold for use as fuel to operate a motor vehicle. See discussion under “Alternative Fuel Excise Tax Credit” below for more information about AFTC, which is not recognized as revenue until the period the credit is authorized through federal legislation. Station Construction Sales Station construction contracts are generally short-term, except for certain larger and more complex stations, which can take up to 24 months to complete. For most of the Company’s station construction contracts, the customer contracts with the Company to provide a significant service of integrating a complex set of tasks and components into a single station. Hence, the entire contract is accounted for as one performance obligation. The Company recognizes revenue over time as the Company performs under its station construction contracts because of the continual transfer of control of the goods to the customer, who typically controls the work in process. Revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation and is recorded proportionally as costs are incurred. Costs to fulfill the Company’s obligations under these contracts typically include labor, materials and subcontractors’ costs, other direct costs and an allocation of indirect costs. Refinements of estimates to account for changing conditions and new developments are continuous and characteristic of the process. Many factors that can affect contract profitability may change during the performance period of the contract, including differing site conditions, the availability of skilled contract labor, the performance of major suppliers and subcontractors, and unexpected changes in material costs. Because a significant change in one or more of these estimates could affect the profitability of these contracts, the contract price and cost estimates are reviewed periodically as work progresses and adjustments proportionate to the cost-to-cost measure of progress are reflected in contract revenues in the reporting period when such estimates are revised. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which the losses become known. Contract modifications are typically expansions in scope of an existing station construction project. As a result, these modifications are accounted for as if they were part of the existing contract. The effect of a contract modification on the transaction price and the Company’s measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates is recognized as an adjustment to revenue (either as an increase or a reduction) on a cumulative catch-up basis. Under the typical payment terms of the Company’s station construction contracts, the customer makes either performance-based payments (“PBPs”) or progress payments. PBPs are interim payments of the contract price based on quantifiable measures of performance or the achievement of specified events or milestones. Progress payments are interim payments of costs incurred as the work progresses. For some of these contracts, the Company may be entitled to receive an advance payment. The advance payment typically is not considered a significant financing component because it is used to meet working capital demands that can be higher in the early stages of a construction contract and to protect the Company if the customer fails to adequately complete some or all of its obligations under the contract. In addition, the customer retains a small portion of the contract price until completion of the contract. Such retained portion of the contract price is not considered a significant financing component because the intent is to protect the customer. In certain contracts with its customers, the Company agrees to provide multiple goods or services, including construction of and sale of a station, O&M services, and sale of fuel to the customer. These contracts have multiple performance obligations because the promise to transfer each separate good or service is separately identifiable and distinct. This evaluation requires significant judgment and the decision to combine a group of contracts or separate the combined or single contract into multiple performance obligations could change the amount of revenue recognized in one or more periods. The Company allocates the contract price to each performance obligation using best estimates of the standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. The primary method used to estimate the standalone selling price for fuel and O&M services is observable standalone sales, and the primary method used to estimate the standalone selling price for station construction sales is the expected cost plus a margin approach because the Company sells customized customer-specific solutions. Under this approach, the Company forecasts expected costs of satisfying a performance obligation and then adds an appropriate margin for the good or service. Service Revenue O&M and Other Services O&M and other services are sold pursuant to contractual commitments over defined performance periods. These contracts typically include a stand-ready obligation to provide O&M and/or other services based on a committed and agreed upon routine maintenance schedule or when and if called upon by the customer. The Company applies the ‘right to invoice’ practical expedient and recognizes O&M and other services revenue in the amount to which the Company has the right to invoice. The Company has a right to consideration based on services rendered or on amount of GGEs of fuel dispensed by the customer multiplied by an agreed-upon rate. Customers are typically billed on a monthly basis. Since payment terms are less than a year, the Company has elected the practical expedient which allows it to not assess whether a customer contract has a significant financing component. Contract modifications are not distinct from the existing contract and are typically renewals of O&M and other service sales. As a result, these modifications are accounted for as if they were part of the existing contract. The effect of a contract modification on the transaction price is recognized prospectively. Other The majority of other revenue is from sales of used natural gas heavy-duty trucks purchased by the Company. Revenue on these contracts is recognized at the point in time when the customer accepts delivery of the truck. Alternative Fuel Excise Tax Credit Under separate pieces of U.S. federal legislation, the Company was eligible to receive a federal alternative fuel excise tax credit (“AFTC”) for its natural gas vehicle fuel sales made between October 1, 2006 and December 31, 2021. The AFTC credit was equal to $0.50 per GGE of CNG that the Company sold as vehicle fuel, and $0.50 per diesel gallon of LNG that the Company sold as vehicle fuel in 2020 and 2021. The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, enacted on August 16, 2022, extended AFTC for an additional three years, beginning retroactively to January 1, 2022. AFTC incentive under the extension remains at $0.50 per GGE of CNG and $0.50 per diesel gallon of LNG that the Company sells as vehicle fuel through December 31, 2024. Based on the service relationship with its customers, either the Company or its customer claims the credit. The Company records its AFTC credits, if any, as revenue in its consolidated statements of operations because the credits are fully payable to the Company and do not offset income tax liabilities. As such, the credits are not deemed income tax credits under the accounting guidance applicable to income taxes. LNG Transportation Costs The Company records the costs incurred to transport LNG to its customers in “Product cost of sales” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Advertising Costs Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022. Stock-Based Compensation The Company recognizes compensation expense for all stock‑based payment arrangements over the requisite service period of the award and recognizes forfeitures as they occur. For service and performance-based stock options, the Company determines the grant date fair value using the Black‑Scholes option pricing model, which requires the input of certain assumptions, including the expected life of the stock‑based payment award, stock price volatility and risk‑free interest rate. For market-based stock options, the Company determines the grant date fair value using the Monte Carlo simulation model, which requires the input of certain assumptions, including the derived service period and the volatility of the Company’s stock price. For restricted stock units, the Company determines the grant date fair value based on the closing market price of its common stock on the date of grant. Amazon Warrant The Amazon Warrant (as defined in Note 13) is accounted for as an equity instrument and measured in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation Revenue from Contracts with Customers Income Taxes Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the tax bases and financial carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities. The impact on deferred taxes of changes in tax rates and laws, if any, are applied to the years during which temporary differences are expected to be settled and are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period of enactment. Valuation allowances are established when management determines it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized. When evaluating the need for a valuation analysis, we use estimates involving a high degree of judgment including projected future US GAAP income and the amounts and estimated timing of the reversal of any deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company has a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not sustainable upon examination by taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company recognizes potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefit in income tax expense. The Company operates within multiple domestic and foreign taxing jurisdictions and is subject to audit in these jurisdictions. These audits can involve complex issues, which may require an extended period of time to resolve. Although the Company believes that adequate consideration has been given to these issues, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these issues could be significantly different from originally estimated. Net Loss Per Share Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to Clean Energy Fuels Corp. by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and common shares issuable for little or no cash consideration during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to Clean Energy Fuels Corp. by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and common shares issuable for little or no cash consideration during the period and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period, and therefore reflects the dilution from common shares that may be issued upon exercise or conversion of these potentially dilutive securities, such as stock options, warrants, convertible notes and restricted stock units. The dilutive effect of stock awards and warrants is computed under the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect of convertible notes and restricted stock units is computed under the if-converted method. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computations of diluted net loss per share if their effect would be antidilutive. Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions The Company uses the local currency as the functional currency of its foreign subsidiary and equity method investment. Accordingly, all assets and liabilities outside the United States are translated into U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expense items are translated at the weighted-average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in stockholders’ equity. Foreign currency transactions occur when there is a transaction denominated in other than the respective entity’s functional currency. The Company records the changes in the exchange rate for these transactions in its consolidated statements of operations. For each of the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, foreign exchange transaction gains and (losses) were immaterial and were included in “Other income (expense), net” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Comprehensive Loss Comprehensive loss is defined as the change in equity (net assets) of a business enterprise during the period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. The difference between net loss and comprehensive loss for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022 was comprised of the Company’s foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities. Concentration of Credit Risk Credit is extended to all customers based on financial condition, and collateral is generally not required. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited because of the large number of customers comprising the Company’s customer base and dispersion across many different industries and geographies. Certain international customers, however, have historically been slower to pay on trade receivables. Accordingly, the Company continually monitors collections and payments from its customers and maintains a provision for estimated credit losses based upon its historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that it has identified. Although credit losses have historically been within the Company’s expectations and the provisions established, the Company cannot guarantee that it will continue to experience the same credit loss rates that it has in the past.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers | Note 2 —Revenue from Contracts with Customers Disaggregation of Revenue The table below presents the Company’s revenue disaggregated by revenue source (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2020 2021 2022 Product revenue: Volume-related Fuel sales (1) $ 169,460 $ 130,973 $ 281,103 Change in fair value of derivative instruments (2) 2,135 (3,490) 517 RIN Credits 15,254 31,736 34,635 LCFS Credits 18,681 16,808 12,634 AFTC (3) 19,831 20,700 21,760 Total volume-related product revenue 225,361 196,727 350,649 Station construction sales 26,593 16,406 22,346 Total product revenue 251,954 213,133 372,995 Service revenue: Volume-related, O&M services 39,582 41,934 45,901 Other services 188 579 1,268 Total service revenue 39,770 42,513 47,169 Total revenue $ 291,724 $ 255,646 $ 420,164 (1) Includes non-cash stock-based sales incentive contra-revenue charges associated with the Amazon Warrant for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022 of $0.0 million, $83.6 million and $24.3 million, respectively. See Note 13 for more information. (2) Represents changes in fair value of derivative instruments related to the Company’s commodity swap and customer fueling contracts associated with the Company’s Zero Now truck financing program. The amounts are classified as revenue because the Company’s commodity swap contracts are used to economically offset the risk associated with the diesel-to-natural gas price spread resulting from customer fueling contracts under the Company’s Zero Now truck financing program. See Note 1 and Note 7 for more information about these derivative instruments. (3) Represents AFTC, which was renewed and extended for three years beginning retroactively to January 1, 2022. Remaining Performance Obligations Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of customer orders for which the work has not been performed. As of December 31, 2022, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $23.4 million, which related to the Company’s station construction sale contracts. The Company expects to recognize revenue on the remaining performance obligations under these contracts over the next 12 For volume-related revenue, the Company has elected to apply an optional exemption, which waives the requirement to disclose the remaining performance obligation for revenue recognized through the ‘ Costs to Fulfill a Contract The Company capitalizes costs incurred to fulfill its contracts that (1) relate directly to the contract, (2) are expected to generate resources that will be used to satisfy the Company’s performance obligations under the contract, and (3) are expected to be recovered through revenue generated under the contract. Contract fulfillment costs are recorded to depreciation expense as the Company satisfies its performance obligations over the term of the contract. These costs primarily relate to set-up and other direct installation costs incurred by NG Advantage, LLC (“NG Advantage”), for equipment that must be installed on customers’ land before NG Advantage is able to deliver CNG to the customer because the customer does not have direct access to the natural gas pipelines. These costs are classified in “Land, property, and equipment, net” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2021 and 2022, these capitalized costs incurred to fulfill contracts were $10.1 million and $10.1 million with accumulated depreciation of $7.6 million and $7.9 million, respectively, and related depreciation expense of $0.5 million and $0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively. Contract Balances The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, unbilled receivables (contract assets), and customer advances and deposits (contract liabilities) in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the contract asset and liability balances during the year ended December 31, 2022, were not materially affected by any factors outside the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2021 and 2022, the Company’s contract balances were as follows (in thousands): 2021 2022 Accounts receivable, net $ 87,433 $ 91,430 Contract assets - current $ 966 $ 6,063 Contract assets - non-current 3,532 2,976 Contract assets - total $ 4,498 $ 9,039 Contract liabilities - current $ 5,523 $ 5,477 Contract liabilities - total $ 5,523 $ 5,477 Accounts Receivable, Net “Accounts receivable, net” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets include billed and accrued amounts that are currently due from customers. The amounts due are stated at their net estimated realizable value. The Company maintains an allowance to provide for the estimated amount of receivables that will not be collected. The allowance is based on an assessment of customer creditworthiness, historical payment experience, the age of outstanding receivables, and economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. Contract Assets Contract assets include unbilled amounts typically resulting from the Company’s station construction sale contracts, when the cost-to-cost method of revenue recognition is utilized and revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer, and right to payment is not just subject to the passage of time. Amounts may not exceed their net realizable value. Contract assets are classified as current or noncurrent based on the timing of billings. The current portion is included in “Other receivables” and in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” and the noncurrent portion is included in “Notes receivable and other long-term assets, net” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Contract Liabilities Contract liabilities consist of billings in excess of revenue recognized from the Company’s station construction sale contracts and payments received primarily from customers of NG Advantage in advance of the satisfaction of performance obligations and are classified as current or noncurrent based on when the revenue is expected to be recognized. The current portion and noncurrent portion of contract liabilities are included in “Deferred revenue” and in “Other long-term liabilities,” respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Billings in excess of revenue recognized of $5.4 million and $5.5 million and advance payments of $0.1 million and $0.0 million are classified as current as of December 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively. Revenue recognized during the year ended December 31, 2021 relating to the Company’s contract liability balances as of December 31, 2020 was $1.5 million. Changes in the contract liability balances between December 31, 2021 and 2022 were primarily driven by $2.6 million of revenue recognized relating to the Company’s contract liability balances as of December 31, 2021, partially offset by billings in excess of revenue recognized in 2022. |

Divestitures | Note 3 —Divestitures bp Transaction On February 27, 2017, Clean Energy Renewable Fuels (“Renewables”) entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “APA”) with BP Products North America, Inc. (“bp”). Pursuant to the APA, Renewables agreed to sell to bp its assets relating to its RNG production business (the “bp Transaction”), consisting of Renewables’ two RNG production facilities, Renewables’ interest in joint ventures formed with a third-party to develop new RNG production facilities, and Renewables’ third-party RNG supply contracts (the “Assets”). Under the APA, bp was required, following the closing of the bp Transaction, to pay Renewables up to an additional $25.0 million in cash over a five-year period if certain conditions relating to the Assets are met. In February 2018, the Company received $0.9 million in cash for its satisfaction of the performance criteria for the first period under the APA, which ended on December 31, 2017. Upon its receipt of such cash, the Company paid $0.1 million in cash and issued 15,877 shares of the Company’s common stock with a fair value of $0.0 million to former holders of options to purchase membership units in Renewables. The performance criteria for the second period under the APA, which ended on December 31, 2018, was also satisfied, and the Company received a cash payment of $5.4 million in March 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2019, after receipt of the cash payment, the Company paid $0.6 million in cash to former holders of options to purchase membership units in Renewables. In December 2019, the Company and bp entered into an Amendment to the APA (“Amended APA”) which amended the earn-out for years four five $3.9 million during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively, which is included in “Gain from sale of certain assets of subsidiary” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had paid $10.3 million in cash and issued 770,269 shares of the Company’s common stock with a fair value of $2.0 million to former holders of options to purchase membership units in Renewables. Following the completion of the bp Transaction, Renewables and the Company continue to procure RNG from bp under a long-term supply contract (the “bp Supply Agreement”) and from other RNG suppliers and resell such RNG through the Company’s fueling infrastructure. On October 1, 2018, Renewables and bp amended the bp Supply Agreement to extend the term and add additional RNG supply. bp and Renewables share in the RINs and LCFS Credits generated from the increased RNG supply sold through the Company’s vehicle fueling infrastructure and to other customers. See Note 1 for information on revenue recognition of these credits. SAFE&CEC S.r.l. On November 26, 2017, the Company, through its former subsidiary, IMW Industries Ltd. (formerly known as Clean Energy Compression Corp.) (“CEC”), entered into an investment agreement with Landi Renzo S.p.A. (“LR”), an alternative fuels company based in Italy. Pursuant to the investment agreement, the Company and LR agreed to combine their respective natural gas compressor fueling systems manufacturing subsidiaries, CEC and SAFE S.p.A, into a new company, “SAFE&CEC S.r.l.” (such combination transaction is referred to as the “CEC Combination”). SAFE&CEC S.r.l. is focused on manufacturing, selling and servicing natural gas fueling compressors and related equipment for the global natural gas fueling market. At the closing of the CEC Combination on December 29, 2017, the Company owned 49% of SAFE&CEC S.r.l. and LR owned 51% of SAFE&CEC S.r.l. The Company accounts for its interest in SAFE&CEC S.r.l. using the equity method of accounting because the Company does not control but has the ability to exercise significant influence over SAFE&CEC S.r.l.’s operations.

Combined summarized financial information for the Company’s other equity method investments is as follows (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2020 2021 2022 Revenue $ 463 $ 704 $ 1,217 Gross profit 155 216 506 Operating loss (90) (1,757) (2,556) Net loss $ (126) $ (1,793) $ (2,585) As of December 31, 2021 2022 Current assets $ 1,349 $ 1,652 Non-current assets 7,047 4,609 Total assets $ 8,396 $ 6,261 Current liabilities $ 1,012 $ 1,169 Non-current liabilities 192 2,383 Total liabilities $ 1,204 $ 3,552 NG Advantage On October 14, 2014, the Company entered into a Common Unit Purchase Agreement (“UPA”) with NG Advantage for a 53.3% controlling interest in NG Advantage. NG Advantage is engaged in the business of transporting CNG in high-capacity trailers to industrial and institutional energy users, such as hospitals, food processors, manufacturers and paper mills that do not have direct access to natural gas pipelines. In connection with the arrangement between NG Advantage and bp for the supply, sale and reservation of a specified volume of CNG transportation capacity until February 2022, on February 28, 2018, the Company entered into a guaranty agreement with NG Advantage and bp pursuant to which the Company guaranteed NG Advantage’s payment obligations to bp in the event of default by NG Advantage under the supply arrangement, in an amount up to an aggregate of $30.0 million plus related fees which was subsequently reduced to $15.0 million effective June 24, 2020. As initial consideration for the guaranty agreement, NG Advantage issued to the Company 19,660 common units, which increased the Company’s controlling interest in NG Advantage from 53.3% to 53.5%. On October 1, 2018, the Company purchased 1,000,001 common units from NG Advantage for an aggregate cash purchase price of $5.0 million. This purchase increased Clean Energy’s controlling interest in NG Advantage from 53.5% to 61.7%. In each month from November 2018 through February 2019, the Company was issued 100,000 additional common units of NG Advantage, for a total of 400,000 common units, pursuant to the guaranty agreement entered in February 2018. The issuance of 400,000 additional common units increased the Company’s controlling interest in NG Advantage to 64.6%. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company agreed to lend NG Advantage up to $26.7 million under a series of promissory notes that were incorporated into a delayed draw convertible promissory note (the “November 2019 Convertible Note”). In connection with the promissory notes between NG Advantage and the Company, NG Advantage issued to the Company warrants to purchase 2,086,879 common units. On February 6, 2020, the Company converted the outstanding principal and accrued interest under the November 2019 Convertible Note into common units of NG Advantage, resulting in an increase in the Company’s controlling interest in NG Advantage from 64.6% to 93.2%. On February 29, 2020, NG Advantage issued to the Company 283,019 common units of NG Advantage pursuant to the guaranty agreement entered into in February 2018, increasing the Company’s controlling interest in NG Advantage to 93.3%. On February 28, 2022, the supply arrangement between NG Advantage and bp expired. As a result, the Company’s obligations under the guaranty agreement entered into in February 2018 were fully released. As of December 31, 2022, the Company’s controlling interest in NG Advantage remained at 93.3%. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, NG Advantage borrowed $5.0 million and $29.1 million, respectively, from the Company under a series of advance agreements. As of December 31, 2021 and 2022, NG advantage had an outstanding balance of $18.4 million and $47.5 million, respectively, plus accrued and unpaid interest under the advance agreements. This intercompany transaction has been eliminated in consolidation. The Company recorded a loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest in NG Advantage of $1.7 million, $1.0 million, and $0.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively. The noncontrolling interest was $8.3 million and $7.5 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively. Investments in Equity Securities For investments in equity securities of privately held entities without readily determinable fair values, the Company measures such investments at cost, adjusted for impairment, if any, and observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investment of the same issuer. As of December 31, 2021 and 2022, the Company had an investment balance recorded at cost of $8.0 million. The Company did not recognize any adjustments to the recorded cost basis during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022. |

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash | Note 5 —Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as of December 31, 2021 and 2022 consisted of the following (in thousands): 2021 2022 Current assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 99,448 $ 123,950 Restricted cash - standby letter of credit — 2,000 Total cash, cash equivalents and current portion of restricted cash $ 99,448 $ 125,950 Long-term assets: Restricted cash - held as collateral $ 7,008 $ — Total long-term portion of restricted cash $ 7,008 $ — Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 106,456 $ 125,950 The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less on the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and Canadian Deposit Insurance Corporation (“CDIC”) limits. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits. The amounts in excess of FDIC and CDIC limits were approximately $98.0 million and $124.8 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively. The Company classifies restricted cash as short-term and a current asset if the cash is expected to be used in operations within a year or to acquire a current asset. Otherwise, the restricted cash is classified as long-term. In January 2022, in connection with the second amendment to the Berkshire ALA (as defined in Note 12), the lender to NG Advantage released to the Company $7.0 million, classified in “Long-term portion of restricted cash” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021. The amount represented the collateral deposit for the limited guaranty provided by the Company under the Berkshire ALA. See Note 12 for more information. The $2.0 million short-term restricted cash classified as a current asset as of December 31, 2022 is related to a certificate of deposit held as collateral for the standby letter of credit issued to Chevron Products Company, a division of Chevron U.S.A. Inc., in connection with the Company’s Adopt-A-Port program. |

Short-Term Investments | Note 6 —Short-Term Investments Short-term investments include available-for-sale debt securities, excluded from cash equivalents, that have maturities of one year or less on the date of acquisition and certificates of deposit. Available-for-sale debt securities are carried at fair value, inclusive of unrealized gains and losses. Unrealized gains and losses on available for sale debt securities are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable income taxes. Gains or losses on sales of available-for-sale debt securities are recognized on the specific identification basis. The Company reviews available-for-sale debt securities for declines in fair value below their cost basis each quarter and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the cost basis of an asset may not be recoverable, and evaluates the current expected credit loss. This evaluation is based on a number of factors, including historical experience, market data, issuer-specific factors, economic conditions, and any changes to the credit rating of the security. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has not recorded a credit loss related to available-for-sale debt securities and believes the carrying values for its available-for-sale debt securities are properly recorded.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | Note 8 —Fair Value Measurements The Company follows the authoritative guidance for fair value measurements with respect to assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and non-recurring basis. Under the standard, fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, as of the measurement date. The standard also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability developed based upon the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy consists of the following three levels: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs (other than quoted prices) that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis The Company’s U.S. government issued debt securities are classified within Level 1 because they are valued using the most recent quoted prices for identical assets in active markets. Zero coupon bonds and certificate of deposits are classified within Level 2 because they are valued using the most recent quoted prices for identical assets in markets that are not active and quoted prices for similar assets in active markets. The Company used the income approach to value its outstanding commodity swap contracts and embedded derivatives in its fueling agreements under the Zero Now The Company estimated the fair value of its outstanding commodity swap contracts based on the following inputs as of December 31, 2021 and 2022: December 31, 2021 December 31, 2022 Significant Unobservable Inputs Input Range Weighted Average Input Range Weighted Average ULSD Gulf Coast Forward Curve $2.03 - $2.15 $ 2.11 $ 2.35 - $ 2.59 $ 2.48 Historical Differential to PADD 3 Diesel $0.87 - $1.58 $ 1.03 $ 0.88 - $ 1.62 $ 1.13 Historical Differential to PADD 5 Diesel $1.82 - $2.69 $ 2.13 $ 1.89 - $ 3.00 $ 2.30 The Company estimated the fair value of embedded derivatives in its fueling agreements under the Zero Now December 31, 2021 December 31, 2022 Significant Unobservable Inputs Input Range Weighted Average Input Range Weighted Average ULSD Gulf Coast Forward Curve $2.03 - $2.15 $ 2.11 $ 2.35 - $ 2.59 $ 2.48 Historical Differential to PADD 3 Diesel $0.87 - $1.58 $ 1.03 $ 0.88 - $ 1.62 $ 1.13 Historical Differential to PADD 5 Diesel $1.82 - $2.69 $ 2.13 $ 1.91 - $ 3.05 $ 2.31 Convertible Promissory Note In connection with a loan commitment the Company had with a certain equity method investee (see Note 15), during the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company provided $2.0 million in funding. In exchange for the funding proceeds, the Company was issued a convertible promissory note bearing interest at 7% per annum with a maturity date the earlier of April 2024 or upon the occurrence of a triggering event such as change of control or an event of default. The convertible promissory note is classified as available-for-sale and is measured using the income approach. Under the income approach, the Company used a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) model in which cash flows anticipated over the term of the note are discounted to their present value using an expected discount rate. The discount rate used reflects the interest rates offered on loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality, which are Level 3 inputs. As such, this valuation approach is considered a Level 3 fair value measurement. The following table provides quantitative information about the significant inputs used to estimate the fair value of the convertible promissory note as of December 31, 2022: Significant Unobservable Inputs December 31, 2022 Risk-free interest rate 4.57% Credit adjustment 8.36% Credit adjusted discount rate 12.93% The above significant unobservable inputs are subject to change based on changes in economic and market conditions. The use of significant unobservable inputs creates uncertainty in the measurement of fair value as of the reporting date. Significant increase or decrease in any of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. Generally, a change in market interest rates is accompanied by a directionally opposite change in the estimated fair value of fixed-rate debt securities. The Company records changes in the fair value of available-for-sale debt securities in "Unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale securities" as part of other comprehensive income (loss) in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2021 or 2022. The following tables provide information by level for assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2021 and 2022 (in thousands): December 31, 2021 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Available-for-sale securities (1) Municipal bonds and notes $ 6,000 $ — $ 6,000 $ — Zero coupon bonds 123,192 — 123,192 — Certificates of deposit (1) 530 — 530 — Embedded derivatives (3) 6,776 — — 6,776 Liabilities: Commodity swap contracts (2) $ 4,383 $ — $ — $ 4,383 December 31, 2022 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Available-for-sale securities: U.S. government securities (1) $ 64,880 $ 64,880 $ — $ — Zero coupon bonds (1) 74,159 — 74,159 — Convertible promissory note (4) 1,880 — — 1,880 Certificates of deposit (1) 530 — 530 — Embedded derivatives (3) 6,755 — — 6,755 Liabilities: Commodity swap contracts (2) $ 3,845 $ — $ — $ 3,845 (1) Included in “Short-term investments” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

However, in July 2022, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Liquefied Natural Gas Fueling Station and LNG Master Sales Agreement between Pilot and Clean Energy, dated August 2, 2010, to decommission and remove station equipment from the premises where the affected fueling stations are located in accordance with a phased removal schedule. The Amendment requires the Company to remove station equipment and site improvements from the premises beginning in the third quarter of 2022 and to complete removal by the end of the first quarter of 2023. In connection with the removal of station equipment and site improvements, the Company recognized $10.6 million in accelerated depreciation expense relating to the change in depreciable life of the affected station assets and $2.5 million in incremental asset retirement obligation (“ARO”) charges. Amounts associated with the accelerated depreciation expense and incremental ARO charges are included in “Depreciation and amortization” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022. |

Pursuant to the Riverstone Credit Agreement, the lenders made a $150,000,000 senior secured term loan (the “Term Loan”) to the Company. Payments for the Term Loan are interest only with a balloon principal payment due on the maturity date, which is December 22, 2026. The Term Loan bears interest, at the option of the Company, at (a) Adjusted Term SOFR or (b) the Alternate Base Rate (“ABR”), which is defined as the greater of (i) the Prime Rate, (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.50%, and (iii) one-month Adjusted Term SOFR plus 1.00%, plus a margin of 6.50% for interest rate based on SOFR or 5.50% for election under the ABR through the second anniversary of the Closing Date. After the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the applicable margin increases to 7.25% for election under SOFR or 6.25% for election under the ABR. Interest rate for the Term Loan has an interest rate floor of 1.50% for election under SOFR and 2.50% for election under the ABR. Proceeds from the Term Loan were or will be used to repay certain existing indebtedness of the Company, to finance permitted investments from time to time, to pay transaction costs related to the Riverstone Credit Agreement and for other general corporate purposes. In connection with the Term Loan, the Company is obligated to pay other facility fees customary for credit facilities of similar size and type. The Company has the option to prepay all or any portion of the amounts owed prior to the maturity date and is subject to customary mandatory prepayments clauses. All prepayments and all other payments of the Term Loan principal are subject to a call premium (2.0% from the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date to the date that is eighteen months after the Closing Date, 2.5% after the date that is eighteen months after the Closing Date to the date that is twenty-four months after the Closing Date, and 3% at any time thereafter). No call premium applies to any prepayment of the Term Loan made prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date. In conjunction with the Riverstone Credit Agreement, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) in favor of the lenders. Under the Security Agreement, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries granted the lenders a security interest in substantially all of their personal property, rights and assets as collateral for the Term Loan under the Riverstone Credit Agreement. The Company and certain of its subsidiaries also agreed to grant a security interest in certain of their material real property interests. The Riverstone Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and affirmative and negative covenants, including compliance with certain financial ratios and liquidity test and limitation on the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, make certain payments, and enter into certain transactions. Additionally, the Riverstone Credit Agreement includes a number of events of default clauses. If any event of default occurs (subject, in certain instances, to specified grace periods), the then outstanding principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations under the Riverstone Credit Agreement may become due and payable immediately. SG Credit Agreement On January 2, 2019, the Company entered into a term credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Société Générale, a company incorporated as a société anonyme under the laws of France (“SG”). The Credit Agreement provided for a term loan facility (the “SG Facility”) pursuant to which the Company was able to obtain, subject to certain conditions, up to $100.0 million of loans (“SG Loans”) in support of its Zero Now purchased or financed under the Zero Now The Credit Agreement did not include financial covenants, and the Company did not provide SG with any security for its obligations under the Credit Agreement. As described below, THUSA entered into the Guaranty to guarantee the Company’s payment obligations to SG under the Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had no amounts outstanding on the SG Facility. TotalEnergies Credit Support Agreement The Company entered into a credit support agreement with TotalEnergies Holdings USA Inc. (“THUSA”), a wholly owned subsidiary of TotalEnergies, on January 2, 2019, which was subsequently amended on March 12, 2021 (as amended, the “CSA”) in conjunction with the March 12, 2021 amendment to the Credit Agreement. Under the CSA, THUSA agreed to enter into a guaranty agreement (“Guaranty”) pursuant to which it guaranteed the Company’s obligation to repay to SG up to $100.0 million in SG Loans and interest thereon in accordance with the Credit Agreement. In consideration for the commitments of THUSA under the CSA, the Company was required to pay THUSA a quarterly guaranty fee at a rate per quarter equal to 2.5% of the average aggregate SG Loan amount for the preceding calendar quarter. Following any payment by THUSA to SG under the Guaranty, the Company would be obligated to immediately pay to THUSA the full amount of such payment plus interest on such amount at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.0%. In addition, the Company would be obligated to pay and reimburse THUSA for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses it incurred in the performance of its services under the CSA, including all reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with the payment to SG under the Guaranty or any enforcement or attempt to enforce any of the Company’s obligations under the CSA. The CSA included customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants by the Company. In addition, upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event (as described below) and during its continuation, THUSA may, among other things: elect not to guarantee additional SG Loans; declare all or any portion of the outstanding amounts the Company owes THUSA under the CSA to be due and payable; and exercise all other rights it may have under applicable law. Each of the following events constituted a Trigger Event: the Company defaults with respect to any payment obligation under the CSA; any representation or warranty made by the Company in the CSA was false, incorrect, incomplete or misleading in any material respect when made; the Company fails to observe or perform any material covenant, obligation, condition or agreement in the CSA; or the Company defaults in the observance or performance of any agreement, term or condition contained in any other agreement with THUSA or an affiliate of THUSA. As security for the Company’s obligations under the CSA, on January 2, 2019, the Company entered into a pledge and security agreement with THUSA and delivered a collateral assignment of contracts to THUSA, pursuant to which the Company collaterally assigned to THUSA all fueling agreements it enters into with participants in the Zero Now Zero Now Until the occurrence of a Trigger Event or Fundamental Trigger Event (as described below) under the CSA, the Company had the freedom to operate in the normal course, and there were no restrictions on the flow of funds in and out of the lockbox account established pursuant to the lockbox agreement. Upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event under the CSA, all funds in the lockbox account will be: first, used to make scheduled debt repayments under the Credit Agreement; and second, released to the Company. Further, upon the occurrence of a “Fundamental Trigger Event” under the CSA and during its continuation, in addition to exercising any of the remedies available to THUSA upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event as described above: all participants in the Zero Now The CSA will terminate following the later of: the payment in full of all of the Company’s obligations under the CSA; and the termination or expiration of the Guaranty following the maturity date of the last outstanding SG Loan or December 31, 2023, whichever is earlier. NG Advantage Debt On November 30, 2016, NG Advantage entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Wintrust LSA”) with Wintrust Commercial Finance (“Wintrust”), pursuant to which Wintrust agreed to lend NG Advantage $4.7 million. The proceeds were primarily used to fund the purchases of CNG trailers and equipment. Interest and principal were payable monthly in 72 equal monthly installments at an annual rate of 5.17%. As collateral security for the prompt payment in full when due of NG Advantage’s obligations to Wintrust under the Wintrust LSA, NG Advantage pledged to and granted Wintrust a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in the CNG trailers and equipment purchased with the proceeds received under the Wintrust LSA. As of December 31, 2022, NG Advantage had fully repaid all outstanding amounts under the Wintrust LSA. On December 10, 2020, NG Advantage entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with Berkshire Bank (the “Berkshire ALA”) to substitute and replace the two existing loans with Berkshire Bank dated May 12, 2016 and January 24, 2017 (collectively, the “Original Debt”). The Berkshire ALA provided NG Advantage a 5-year term loan of $14.5 million with payments of principal and interest due monthly beginning February 1, 2021 at an annual interest rate of 5%, maturing on January 1, 2026. NG Advantage used the funds provided by the Berkshire ALA to repay in full the outstanding principal balance plus accrued and unpaid interest of the Original Debt, and to repay the outstanding balances of certain other financing obligations to unrelated lenders. NG Advantage pledged as collateral certain assets and equipment including trailers under the Berkshire ALA, and the Company provided a limited guaranty of up to $7.0 million classified in “Long-term portion of restricted cash” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021. On January 31, 2022, NG Advantage entered into a second amendment to the Berkshire ALA pursuant to which Berkshire Bank agreed to extend additional new term loans with an aggregate principal amount of $14.0 million (collectively, the “Berkshire Term Loan 2”) to NG Advantage. The Berkshire Term Loan 2 bore interest at an annual interest rate of 5% and had a maturity date of January 31, 2027. Payments for interest and principal were due monthly beginning March 1, 2022, with a final payment of remaining principal and interest due on the maturity date. Borrowings under the Berkshire Term Loan 2 were collateralized by various trailers and station assets of NG Advantage, and prepayment of the outstanding principal was permitted and subject to prepayment premiums. Financial and non-financial covenants of the Berkshire Term Loan 2 were identical to those under the Berkshire ALA. NG Advantage used the proceeds from the Berkshire Term Loan 2 to repay in full the outstanding balances of certain other financing obligations to unrelated lenders. As a result of the full repayment of NG Advantage’s financing obligations to unrelated lenders, NG Advantage recognized a $2.3 million loss on extinguishment of debt, which is included in “interest expense” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022. In connection with the second amendment to the Berkshire ALA, Berkshire Bank released $7.0 million, classified in “Long-term portion of restricted cash” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021, to the Company related to the Company’s limited guaranty under the Berkshire ALA. Concurrently, the Company issued a $7.0 million irrevocable standby letter of credit to Berkshire Bank as collateral under the second amendment to the Berkshire ALA. The standby letter of credit is valid until specified release conditions are satisfied and is collateralized by the Plains LSA (as defined below). The Berkshire ALA also provided NG Advantage a $1.0 million revolving line of credit which bore interest at the greater of the Prime Rate or 3.00%, plus 0.25% and had a maturity date of July 31, 2023. Pursuant to the Riverstone Credit Agreement, on December 22, 2022, NG Advantage fully repaid and extinguished all outstanding amounts relating to the Berkshire ALA and the Berkshire Term Loan 2, including all accrued and unpaid interest. As a result of the full repayment of all outstanding principal plus accrued and unpaid interest under the Berkshire ALA and Berkshire Term Loan 2, NG Advantage recognized a $1.1 million loss on debt extinguishment, which is included in “interest expense” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022. In addition, the $7.0 million irrevocable standby letter of credit issued to Berkshire Bank in connection with the second amendment to the Berkshire ALA was cancelled in conjunction with the full extinguishment of the Berkshire ALA and the Berkshire Term Loan 2. Financing Obligations NG Advantage has entered into sale and leaseback transactions with various lessors as described below. In each instance, the sale and leaseback transaction does not qualify for sale-leaseback accounting because of NG Advantage’s continuing involvement with the buyer-lessor due to a fixed price repurchase option. As a result, the transactions are recorded under the financing method, in which the assets remain on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the proceeds from the transactions are recorded as financing liabilities. On December 18, 2017, NG Advantage entered into a sale-leaseback arrangement through a Master Lease Agreement (the “BoA MLA”) with Bank of America Leasing & Capital, LLC (“BoA”). Pursuant to the BoA MLA, NG Advantage received $2.1 million in cash for CNG trailers and simultaneously leased them back from BoA for five years commencing January 1, 2018 with interest and principal payable in 60 equal monthly installments at an annual rate of 4.86%. As of December 31, 2022, NG Advantage had repaid all outstanding amounts under the BoA MLA. On March 1, 2018, NG Advantage entered into a sale-leaseback arrangement through a Master Lease Agreement (the “First National MLA”) with First National Capital, LLC (“First National”). Pursuant to the First National MLA, NG Advantage received $6.3 million in cash, net of fees and the first month’s lease payment for CNG trailers and simultaneously leased CNG trailers back from First National for six years commencing March 1, 2018 with interest and principal payable in 72 equal monthly installments at an annual rate of 9.28%. On January 31, 2022, NG Advantage used proceeds from the Berkshire Term Loan 2 and $0.8 million in deposits held with First National to repay in full the remaining outstanding financing obligations under the First National MLA. The application of $0.8 million in deposits to extinguish financing obligations under the First National MLA was excluded from the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows as it was a non-cash financing activity. As of December 31, 2022, no amounts were outstanding under the First National MLA. On December 20, 2018 (the “Closing Date”), NG Advantage entered into a purchase agreement to sell a compression station for $7.0 million to an entity the member owners of which were noncontrolling interest member owners of NG Advantage. On the Closing Date and immediately following the consummation of the sale of the compression station, NG Advantage entered into a lease agreement with the buyer of the station pursuant to which the station was leased back to NG Advantage for a term of five years with monthly rent payments equal to $0.1 million at an annual rate of 12.0%. On January 31, 2022, NG Advantage used proceeds from the Berkshire Term Loan 2 to repay in full the remaining outstanding financing obligations related to the lease agreement for the compression station. As of December 31, 2022, no amounts were outstanding. Plains Credit Facility On May 1, 2021, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Plains LSA”) with PlainsCapital Bank (“Plains”), which provided the Company a $20.0 million revolving line of credit through May 1, 2022. In May 2022, the Plains LSA was renewed and extended through May 1, 2023. The interest rate on amounts outstanding under the Plains LSA was the greater of the Prime Rate or 3.25%. On September 16, 2021, Plains issued an irrevocable standby letter of credit on behalf of the Company to the Chevron Products Company, a division of Chevron U.S.A. Inc. (“Chevron”), for $2.0 million relating to the Company’s Adopt-A-Port program with Chevron. The standby letter of credit was valid until cancelled and was collateralized by the Plains LSA, reducing the amount available under the Plains LSA from $20.0 million to $18.0 million. On January 31, 2022, the Company issued an irrevocable standby letter of credit to Berkshire Bank for $7.0 million as collateral under the second amendment to the Berkshire ALA. The standby letter of credit was collateralized by the Plains LSA, reducing the amount available under the Plains LSA to $11.0 million. Pursuant to the Riverstone Credit Agreement, on December 22, 2022, the Plains LSA was terminated. Concurrently, the $7.0 million irrevocable standby letter of credit issued to Berkshire Bank in connection with the second amendment to the Berkshire ALA was cancelled. As a result, the Company deposited $2.0 million, in the form of a certificate of deposit, at Plains as collateral for the standby letter of credit issued to Chevron in connection with the Company’s Adopt-A-Port program. The $2.0 million certificate of deposit is classified as short-term restricted cash and a current asset and is included in “Cash, cash equivalents and current portion of restricted cash” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022. Other Debt As of December 31, 2022, the Company had other debt that will be due in 2023, bearing interest at 4.75%. |

The stock options are subject to the terms and conditions of the 2006 and 2016 Plans and a Notice of Grant of Stock Option and Stock Option Agreement. The following table summarizes the Company’s service-based stock option activity for the year ended December 31, 2022: Weighted Average Weighted Remaining Aggregate Average Contractual Intrinsic Number of Exercise Term Value Shares Price (in years) (in thousands) Options outstanding as of December 31, 2021 11,813,671 $ 6.64 Granted 731,736 $ 6.69 Exercised (387,641) $ 2.67 Forfeited or expired (2,041,426) $ 10.62 Options outstanding as of December 31, 2022 10,116,340 $ 6.00 6.98 $ 10,347 Options exercisable as of December 31, 2022 6,222,399 $ 4.98 5.95 $ 9,731 Options vested and expected to vest as of December 31, 2022 10,116,340 $ 6.00 6.98 $ 10,347 As of December 31, 2022, there was $13.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested shares subject to outstanding service-based stock options. That cost is expected to be expensed over a remaining weighted average period of approximately 1.4 years. The total fair value of shares vested during the year ended December 31, 2022 was $13.8 million. The fair value of each service-based stock option granted was estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and using the following assumptions: Year Ended December 31, 2020 2021 2022 Dividend yield 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% Expected volatility 65.8% to 83.9% 76.8% to 96.8% 73.7% to 76.9% Risk-free interest rate 0.37% to 1.21% 0.58% to 1.31% 1.52% to 4.34% Expected life in years 6.0 5.6 to 5.8 5.6 to 5.9 The volatility amounts used were estimated based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over a term equal to the estimated life of the options. The expected lives used were based on historical exercise experience and the Company’s anticipated exercise periods for its outstanding stock options. The risk-free interest rates used were based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve with terms approximating the expected life of the stock options at the time of grant. The weighted-average grant date fair value per share of service-based stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022 were $1.54, $5.90 and $4.40, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of service-based options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022 were $1.8 million, $10.1 million and $1.3 million, respectively. The Company recorded $1.7 million, $9.9 million and $11.9 million of stock option expense relating to service-based stock options for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively. The Company has not recorded any tax benefit related to its service-based stock option expense. Performance-Based Stock Options The Company granted 1,640,000 performance-based stock options to certain executives and key employees in 2021. The options granted vest in multiple tranches in which the vesting of each tranche is contingent upon securing a defined RNG production volume following the date of grant, if the holder is in service to the Company upon the achievement of such performance hurdles. The performance-based stock options have contractual terms of 10 years, and the exercise price for the options granted is equal to the closing market price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. The stock options are subject to the terms and conditions of the 2016 Plan and a Notice of Grant of Stock Option and Stock Option Agreement. The following table summarizes the Company’s performance-based stock option activity for the year ended December 31, 2022: Weighted Average Weighted Remaining Aggregate Average Contractual Intrinsic Number of Exercise Term Value Shares Price (in years) (in thousands) Options outstanding as of December 31, 2021 1,640,000 $ 6.77 Granted — $ — Exercised — $ — Forfeited or expired — $ — Options outstanding as of December 31, 2022 1,640,000 $ 6.77 8.94 $ — Options vested and exercisable as of December 31, 2022 410,000 $ 6.77 8.94 $ — As of December 31, 2022, there was $4.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested shares subject to outstanding performance-based stock options. Compensation cost for the performance-based stock options is recognized when attainment of the performance hurdles is determined to be probable and over a period in which the Company estimates the performance hurdles will be achieved. The total fair value of shares vested during the year ended December 31, 2022 was $1.9 million. The fair value of each performance-based stock option granted was estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and using the following assumptions: December 7, 2021 Dividend yield 0.0% Expected volatility 77.1% Risk-free interest rate 1.36% Expected life in years 6.2 The volatility amount used was estimated based on (i) the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over a term equal to the estimated life of the options and on (ii) implied volatility of the Company’s traded options. The expected life used was based on historical exercise experience and the Company’s anticipated exercise period for its outstanding performance-based stock options. The risk-free interest rate used was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve with terms approximating the expected life of the stock options at the time of grant. The weighted-average grant date fair value per share of performance-based stock options granted during the year ended December 31, 2021 was $4.58. No performance-based stock options were granted during the year ended December 31, 2022. In addition, there were no performance-based stock options exercised during the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2022. The Company recognizes the grant date fair value of the options that are probable of being earned over the estimated performance period. Compensation cost relating to performance-based stock options was $1.0 million and $2.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively. The Company has not recorded any tax benefit related to its performance-based stock option expense. Market-Based Stock Options The Company granted 3,700,000 market-based stock options to select executives and employees in 2021. Market-based stock options vest if (i) the closing price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $14.00 for twenty The following table summarizes the Company’s market-based stock option activity for the year ended December 31, 2022: Weighted Average Weighted Remaining Aggregate Average Contractual Intrinsic Number of Exercise Term Value Shares Price (in years) (in thousands) Options outstanding as of December 31, 2021 3,700,000 $ 6.77 Granted — $ — Exercised — $ — Forfeited or expired — $ — Options outstanding as of December 31, 2022 3,700,000 $ 6.77 8.94 $ — Options vested and exercisable as of December 31, 2022 — $ — — $ — As of December 31, 2022, there was $8.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested shares subject to outstanding market-based stock options. That cost is expected to be expensed over a remaining weighted average period of approximately 0.9 years. No vesting occurred during the year ended December 31, 2022. The fair value of each market-based stock option granted was estimated on the date of grant using the Monte Carlo simulation model. The Monte Carlo simulation method is subject to variability as certain assumptions must be made, including the derived service period, which is estimated based on likely future stock price performance and volatility of the Company’s common stock price. The fair value of each market-based stock option granted was estimated using the following assumptions: December 7, 2021 Dividend yield 0.0% Expected volatility 67.8% Risk-free interest rate 1.5% Expected life in years 10.0 The volatility amount used was based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over a term equal to the estimated life of the options. The risk-free interest rate used was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve with terms approximating the expected life of the stock options at the time of grant. The expected life used was based on the Company’s anticipated exercise period for its outstanding market-based stock options as the simulation was run from the valuation date through the end of the contractual life of the options using weekly time steps. The weighted-average grant date fair value per share of market-based stock options granted during the year ended December 31, 2021 was $4.87. No market-based stock options were granted during the year ended December 31, 2022. In addition, there were no market-based stock options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022. The Company recorded $0.2 million and $9.4 million of compensation cost relating to market-based stock options during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively. The Company has not recorded any tax benefit related to its market-based stock option expense. Service-Based Restricted Stock Units The Company has granted service-based restricted stock units (“Service-Based RSUs”) to key employees that vest annually over the three years following the date of grant at a rate of 34%, 33% and 33%, respectively, if the holder is in service to the Company at each vesting date. The Service-Based RSUs are subject to the terms and conditions of the 2016 Plan and a Notice of Grant of Restricted Stock Unit and Restricted Stock Unit Agreement. The following table summarizes the Company’s Service-Based RSU activity for the year ended December 31, 2022: Weighted Average Number of Fair Value at Shares Grant Date RSU outstanding and unvested as of December 31, 2021 1,126,942 $ 8.08 Granted 31,650 $ 6.41 Vested (433,551) $ 7.44 Forfeited or expired (30,096) $ 7.91 RSU outstanding and unvested as of December 31, 2022 694,945 $ 8.41 The weighted average grant-date fair value of RSUs granted during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022 was $2.56, $10.24 and $6.41, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, there was $3.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested shares subject to outstanding Service-Based RSUs. That cost is expected to be expensed over a remaining weighted-average period of approximately 0.9 years. The Company recorded $1.0 million, $3.9 million and $3.1 million of expense during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively, related to the Service-Based RSUs. The Company has not recorded any tax benefit related to its Service-Based RSU expense. Employee Stock Purchase Plan On May 7, 2013, the Company adopted an employee stock purchase plan (the “2013 ESPP”), pursuant to which eligible employees may purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at 85% of the fair market value of the common stock on the last trading day of two consecutive, non-concurrent offering periods each year. The Company has reserved 2,500,000 shares of its common stock for issuance under the 2013 ESPP, and the first offering period under the ESPP commenced on September 1, 2013. At the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders held on May 19, 2022, the Company’s stockholders voted and approved the 2022 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2022 ESPP”), making 2,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock available for issuance under the 2022 ESPP. Upon approval of the 2022 ESPP, the 2013 ESPP was terminated following the conclusion of the offering period dated June 30, 2022. The 2022 ESPP does not have a “pour over” feature; as such, any unissued shares under the 2013 ESPP are no longer available for issuance under the 2022 ESPP. The Company recorded $0.0 million, $0.1 million and $0.1 million of expense for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively, related to the Company’s ESPPs. The Company has not recorded any tax benefit related to its ESPP expense. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had not issued any shares pursuant to the 2022 ESPP. Amazon Warrant On April 16, 2021, the Company entered into a Project Addendum to Fuel Pricing Agreement (“Fuel Agreement”) with Amazon Logistics, Inc., a subsidiary of Amazon.com, Inc. (“Amazon”), and a Transaction Agreement with Amazon (the “Transaction Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Company issued to Amazon.com NV Investment Holdings LLC, a subsidiary of Amazon (“Amazon Holdings”), a warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 53,141,755 shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $13.49 per share, which was a 21.3% premium to the $11.12 closing price of the common stock on April 15, 2021. The Warrant Shares vest in multiple tranches, the first of which for 13,283,445 Warrant Shares vested upon execution of the Fuel Agreement. Subsequent tranches will vest over time based on fuel purchases by Amazon and its affiliates, up to a total of $500.0 million, excluding any payments attributable to “Pass Through Costs,” which consist of all costs associated with the delivered cost of gas and applicable taxes determined by reference to the selling price of gallons or gas sold. Under the Transaction Agreement, the Company was required to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the approval of its stockholders with respect to the issuance of Warrant Shares in excess of 50,595,531 shares of common stock, pursuant to The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC’s Listing Rule 5635(b) (the “Stockholder Approval”). On June 14, 2021, the Company obtained Stockholder Approval. As a result of the issuance of additional shares of common stock under the ATM Programs and in accordance with the terms of the warrant, on June 14, 2021, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be purchased pursuant to the warrant, at an exercise price of $13.49 per share, increased by an aggregate of 5,625,959 shares (the “Additional Warrant Shares”). The Additional Warrant Shares vest in multiple tranches, the first of which for 1,406,490 Additional Warrant Shares vested on June 14, 2021. Subsequent tranches of the Additional Warrant Shares will vest over time based on fuel purchases by Amazon and its affiliates, consistent with the vesting schedule for the Warrant Shares as described above. The right to exercise the warrants and receive the Warrant Shares and Additional Warrant Shares (the “Amazon Warrant”) that have vested expires April 16, 2031. Amazon Holdings may not exercise the Amazon Warrant to the extent such exercise would cause Amazon Holdings to beneficially own more than 4.999% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise (excluding any unvested portion of the Amazon Warrant) (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). Amazon Holdings may, however, waive or modify the Beneficial Ownership Limitation by providing written notice to the Company sixty-one Non-cash stock-based sales incentive contra-revenue charges (“Amazon Warrant Charges”) associated with the Amazon Warrant are recognized as the customer purchases fuel and vesting conditions become probable of being achieved based on the grant date fair value of the Amazon Warrant. The fair values of the Amazon Warrant were determined as of the grant date in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation April 16, 2021 June 14, 2021 Dividend yield 0.0% 0.0% Expected volatility 66.46% 67.97% Risk-free interest rate 1.59% 1.49% Expected term in years 10.0 9.8 The volatility amounts used were estimated based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over a period matching the assumed term of the Amazon Warrant. The expected terms used were based on the term of the Amazon Warrant at the date of issuance. The risk-free interest rates used were based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve for the expected term of the Amazon Warrant at the date of issuance. The following table summarizes the Amazon Warrant activity for the year ended December 31, 2022: Warrant Shares Outstanding and unvested as of December 31, 2021 44,077,779 Granted — Vested (1,763,112) Outstanding and unvested as of December 31, 2022 42,314,667 As a result of the immediate vesting of a portion of the Warrant Shares and Additional Warrant Shares, the Company recognized Amazon Warrant Charges, in the second quarter of 2021, of $76.6 million and a customer incentive asset of $38.4 million representing Amazon Warrant Charges associated with future contractually required minimum fuel purchases which will be recognized as the fuel is purchased. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, Amazon Warrant Charges in the consolidated statements of operations were $83.6 million and $24.3 million, respectively. Amazon Warrant Charges for the year ended December 31, 2021 included $76.6 million from the immediate vesting of a portion of the Warrant Shares and Additional Warrant Shares and $7.0 million associated with fuel purchases. Amazon Warrant Charges for the year ended December 31, 2022 were related to customer fuel purchases. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had a customer incentive asset of $12.4 million and $22.1 million, classified in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” and “Notes receivable and other long-term assets, net,” respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had a customer incentive asset of $22.2 million, classified in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. |

As a result, all AFTC revenue for vehicle fuel the Company sold in the 2018 and 2019 calendar year was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2019. AFTC revenues for vehicle fuel the Company sold in the 2020 and 2021 calendar year were recognized during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively. The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, enacted in August 2022, extended AFTC for an additional three years, beginning retroactively to January 1, 2022. The Company recorded a federal tax benefit of $4.2 million, $4.9 million and $5.8 million related to the exclusion of AFTC associated with 2020, 2021 and 2022 fuel sales in excess of its fuel tax obligation, respectively. These amounts increased the Company’s deferred tax asset and the Company’s deferred tax asset valuation allowance. Deferred tax assets and liabilities result from differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. The tax effect of temporary differences that give rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2021 and 2022 are as follows (in thousands): 2021 2022 Deferred tax assets: Accrued expenses $ 5,379 $ 5,445 Lease obligations 11,388 14,093 Alternative minimum tax and general business credits 6,787 7,011 Stock option expense 7,214 7,850 Amazon warrants 16,026 16,169 Other 3,167 3,163 Depreciation and amortization 2,582 3,455 Loss carryforwards 128,514 141,381 Total deferred tax assets 181,057 198,567 Less valuation allowance (162,018) (177,224) Net deferred tax assets 19,039 21,343 Deferred tax liabilities: Right-of-use assets (11,266) (13,950) Commodity swap contracts (649) (784) Goodwill (2,534) (2,847) Investments in joint ventures and partnerships (5,517) (4,862) Total deferred tax liabilities (19,966) (22,443) Net deferred tax liabilities $ (927) $ (1,100) As of December 31, 2022, the Company had federal, state and foreign net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $549.4 million, $420.1 million and $4.1 million, respectively. The Company’s federal, state and foreign net operating loss carryforwards will, if not utilized, expire beginning in 2027, 2028 and 2033, respectively. The Company also has federal tax credit carryforwards of $7.0 million that will expire beginning in 2026. Due to the change of ownership provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 382, utilization of a portion of the Company’s net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards may be limited in future periods. In assessing the realizability of the net deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. As of December 31, 2021 and 2022, the Company provided a valuation allowance of $162.0 million and $177.2 million, respectively, to reduce the net deferred tax assets due to uncertainty surrounding the realizability of these assets. The increase in the valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2022 of $15.2 million was primarily attributable to an increase in losses without benefit. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company did not have any offshore earnings of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries which are permanently reinvested outside the United States. The Company does not recognize the impact of a tax position in its financial statements unless the position is more likely than not to be sustained, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company has unrecognized tax benefits of $54.7 million as of December 31, 2022 that, if recognized, would not result in a tax benefit since it would be fully offset with a valuation allowance. The following is a tabular reconciliation of the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022 (in thousands): Unrecognized tax benefit—December 31, 2020 $ 45,299 Gross increases—tax positions in current year 5,650 Gross decreases—tax positions in prior year (364) Unrecognized tax benefit—December 31, 2021 50,585 Gross increases—tax positions in current year 4,358 Gross decreases—tax positions in prior year (271) Unrecognized tax benefit—December 31, 2022 $ 54,672 The increase in the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits in the year ended December 31, 2021 is primarily attributable to the warrants issued to its customer and the portion of AFTC offset by the fuel tax the Company collected from its customers. The increase in the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits in the year ended December 31, 2022 is primarily attributable to the additional warrants issued to its customer and the portion of AFTC offset by the fuel tax the Company collected from its customers. ASC 740, Income Taxes, The Company is subject to taxation in the United States and various states and foreign jurisdictions. The Company’s tax years from 2019 to 2022 are subject to examination by various tax authorities. Although the Company is no longer subject to U.S. examination for years before 2019, and for state tax examinations for years before 2018, taxing authorities can adjust the net operating losses that arose in earlier years if and when the net operating losses reduce future income. In addition, the Company is required to indemnify SAFE&CEC S.r.l. for taxes that are imposed on CEC for pre-contribution tax periods. A number of years may elapse before an uncertain tax position is finally resolved. It is often difficult to predict the final outcome or the timing of resolution of an uncertain tax position, but the Company believes that its reserves for income taxes reflect the most probable outcomes. The Company adjusts the reserve, as well as the related interest and penalties, in light of changing facts and circumstances. The amount of penalties accrued is immaterial. Settlement of any particular position would usually require the use of cash and result in the reduction of the related reserve, or there could be a change in the amount of the Company’s net operating loss. The resolution of a matter would be recognized as an adjustment to the provision for income taxes at the effective tax rate in the period of resolution. The Company does not expect a significant increase or decrease in its uncertain tax positions within the next twelve months. On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 ("the IRA”) was signed into law. Besides the reinstatement of AFTC for the three year period from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024, the IRA offers tax incentives targeting energy transaction and renewables: ● The investment tax credit under Section 48 of the Internal Revenue Code is expanded to include Qualified Biogas Property, which is expected to be available for the RNG dairy projects that the Company has invested or will invest. The investment tax credit rate could range from 6% up to a 40% bonus rate depending on meeting certain wage, apprenticeship, and domestic content requirements. ● A new tax credit under Section 45Z of the Internal Revenue Code was introduced to apply to low-emissions transportation fuel produced at a qualified facility and sold by the taxpayer after December 31, 2024 through December 31, 2027. The IRA provides a base credit of 20 cents per gallon or $1.00 per gallon multiplied by an applicable emission factor if prevailing wage and apprentices requirements are met. The Company expects its RNG dairy projects will be eligible for this credit, although the rate of the credit per gallon is still pending further guidance from the US Treasury department. ● The alternative fuel refueling property credit under Section 30C of the Internal Revenue Code was reinstated for 2022 and extended an additional 10 years to apply to any property placed in service before January 1, 2033. The base credit amount is 6% with a bonus rate of 30% if wage and registered apprenticeship requirements are met with a maximum credit amount of $100,000 (previously $30,000) per single refueling pump. The Internal Revenue Service has been granted broad authority to issue regulations or other guidance that could clarify how these taxes will be applied and credits will be eligible. The Company is continuing to evaluate the financial impact of the IRA as additional information becomes available. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Note 15 —Commitments and Contingencies Environmental Matters The Company is subject to federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations. The Company does not anticipate any expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations that would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. The Company believes that its operations comply, in all material respects, with applicable federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations. Litigation, Claims and Contingencies The Company may become party to various legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of its business. The Company is also subject to audit by tax and other authorities for varying periods in various federal, state, local and foreign jurisdictions, and disputes may arise during the course of these audits. It is impossible to determine the ultimate liabilities that the Company may incur resulting from any of these lawsuits, claims, proceedings, audits, commitments, contingencies and related matters or the timing of these liabilities, if any. If these matters were to ultimately be resolved unfavorably, it is possible that such an outcome could have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. The Company does not, however, anticipate such an outcome and it believes the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. Long-Term Take-or-Pay Natural Gas Purchase Contracts The Company has entered into quarterly fixed price natural gas purchase contracts with take-or-pay commitments extending through June 2024. As of December 31, 2022, the fixed commitments under these contracts totaled approximately $3.2 million and $2.0 million for the years ending December 31, 2023 and 2024, respectively. Loan Commitment to an Equity Method Investee On November 7, 2022, the Company entered in a Note Purchase Agreement with a certain equity method investee. Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company irrevocably committed to make available up to $5.5 million in delayed draw loans to fund the investee’s working capital requirements. In exchange, the Company will receive convertible promissory note(s) with principal amount equal to the draw down(s). The convertible promissory note(s) carries an interest rate equal to 7% per annum and is due and payable eighteen-months from the date of the draw down, subject to certain, specified prepayment clauses. |

Leases | |
Leases | Note 16 —Leases The Company’s operating leases are comprised of real estate for fueling stations, office spaces, warehouses, a LNG liquefaction plant, and office equipment, and its finance leases are primarily comprised of vehicles. NG Advantage has provided residual value guarantees on leases of certain vehicles aggregating $1.0 million to the lessors. NG Advantage expects to owe these amounts in full and therefore they have been included in the measurement of the lease liabilities and ROU assets. Certain of the Company’s real estate leases contain variable lease payments, including payments based on a change in the index or gasoline gallon equivalents of natural gas dispensed at fueling stations.

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Reportable Segments and Geographic Information | Note 20 —Reportable Segments and Geographic Information Disclosures are required for certain information regarding operating segments, products and services, geographic areas of operation and major customers. Segment reporting is based on the “management approach,” which assesses, how management organizes the Company’s operating segments for which separate financial information is (1) available and (2) evaluated regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The Company operates in a single segment to supply natural gas. In making operating decisions, the CODM primarily considers consolidated financial information, accompanied by fuel and O&M services volume information. The assessment of operating results and the allocation of resources among the components of the business are made by the CODM and are based on profitability margins and volumes by market sector and by type. Contracts are evaluated based on the economics of a mix of products and services for a customer. The table below presents the Company’s revenue, operating loss and long-lived assets by geographic area (in thousands). Several of the Company’s functions, including marketing, engineering, and finance are performed at the corporate level. As a result, significant interdependence and overlap exists among the Company’s geographic areas. Geographic revenue data reflect internal allocations and are therefore subject to certain assumptions and the Company’s methodology. Accordingly, revenue, operating loss, and long-lived assets shown for each geographic area may not be the amounts that would have been reported if the geographic areas were independent of one another. Revenue by geographic area is categorized based on where services are rendered and finished goods are sold. Operating loss by geographic area is categorized based on the location of the entity selling the finished goods or providing the services. Long-lived assets by geographic area are categorized based on the location of the assets. 2020 2021 2022 Revenue: United States $ 281,546 $ 252,310 $ 416,975 Canada 10,178 3,336 3,189 Total revenue $ 291,724 $ 255,646 $ 420,164 Operating income (loss): United States $ (9,853) $ (94,157) $ (50,796) Canada 9 (891) (911) Total operating loss $ (9,844) $ (95,048) $ (51,707) Long-lived assets: United States $ 383,463 $ 440,770 $ 525,682 Canada 202 630 1,902 Total long-lived assets $ 383,665 $ 441,400 $ 527,584 The Company’s goodwill and intangible assets as of December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022 relate to its United States operations, and its subsidiaries, Clean Energy Cryogenics and NG Advantage (see Note 4). |

Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to its customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods or services. To achieve that core principle, a five-step approach is applied: (1) identify the contract with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue allocated to each performance obligation when the Company satisfies the performance obligation. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account for revenue recognition. The Company is generally the principal in its customer contracts because it has control over the goods and services prior to them being transferred to the customer, and as such, revenue is recognized on a gross basis. Sales and usage-based taxes are excluded from revenues. Revenue is recognized net of allowances for returns and any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. Product Revenue Volume-Related The Company’s volume-related product revenue consists of sales of RNG and conventional natural gas, in the form of CNG and LNG, AFTC incentives, and sales of RINs and LCFS Credits in addition to Amazon Warrant Charges (defined in Note 13) and changes in fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments associated with providing fuel to customers under contracts. RNG and conventional natural gas are sold pursuant to contractual commitments over defined delivery periods. These contracts typically include a stand-ready obligation to supply natural gas. The Company applies the ‘right to invoice’ practical expedient and recognizes fuel revenue in the amount to which the Company has the right to invoice. The Company has a right to consideration based on the amount of gasoline gallon equivalents (“GGEs”) of fuel dispensed by the customer and current pricing conditions. The Company calculates one GGE to equal 125,000 British Thermal Units (“BTUs”), and, as such, one million BTUs (“MMBTU”) equal eight GGEs. Customers are typically billed on a monthly basis. Since payment terms are less than a year, the Company has elected the practical expedient which allows it to not assess whether a customer contract has a significant financing component. Contract modifications are not distinct from the existing contract and are typically renewals of fuel sales. As a result, these modifications are accounted for as if they were part of the existing contract. The effect of a contract modification on the transaction price is recognized prospectively. The Company sells RINs and LCFS Credits to third parties that need the credits to comply with federal and state requirements. Revenue is recognized on these credits when there is an agreement in place to monetize the credits at a determinable price and the RNG fuel has been sold. The sales price for some environmental credit transactions may not be determinable in the period in which the RNG was sold as pricing is established in the quarter after the RNG was sold. In these circumstances, revenue from RIN and LCFS credits is recognized once the sales price has been established and therefore is considered determinable. Amazon Warrant Charges are determined based on the grant date fair value of the award, and the associated non-cash stock-based sales incentive charges, which are recorded as a reduction of revenue, are recognized as the customer purchases fuel and vesting conditions become probable of being achieved. See discussion under “Amazon Warrant” below and Note 13 for additional information. The changes in fair value of derivative instruments relate to the Company’s commodity swap and customer fueling contracts under the Zero Now Zero Now AFTC is generated when RNG or conventional natural gas is sold for use as fuel to operate a motor vehicle. See discussion under “Alternative Fuel Excise Tax Credit” below for more information about AFTC, which is not recognized as revenue until the period the credit is authorized through federal legislation. Station Construction Sales Station construction contracts are generally short-term, except for certain larger and more complex stations, which can take up to 24 months to complete. For most of the Company’s station construction contracts, the customer contracts with the Company to provide a significant service of integrating a complex set of tasks and components into a single station. Hence, the entire contract is accounted for as one performance obligation. The Company recognizes revenue over time as the Company performs under its station construction contracts because of the continual transfer of control of the goods to the customer, who typically controls the work in process. Revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation and is recorded proportionally as costs are incurred. Costs to fulfill the Company’s obligations under these contracts typically include labor, materials and subcontractors’ costs, other direct costs and an allocation of indirect costs. Refinements of estimates to account for changing conditions and new developments are continuous and characteristic of the process. Many factors that can affect contract profitability may change during the performance period of the contract, including differing site conditions, the availability of skilled contract labor, the performance of major suppliers and subcontractors, and unexpected changes in material costs. Because a significant change in one or more of these estimates could affect the profitability of these contracts, the contract price and cost estimates are reviewed periodically as work progresses and adjustments proportionate to the cost-to-cost measure of progress are reflected in contract revenues in the reporting period when such estimates are revised. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which the losses become known. Contract modifications are typically expansions in scope of an existing station construction project. As a result, these modifications are accounted for as if they were part of the existing contract. The effect of a contract modification on the transaction price and the Company’s measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates is recognized as an adjustment to revenue (either as an increase or a reduction) on a cumulative catch-up basis. Under the typical payment terms of the Company’s station construction contracts, the customer makes either performance-based payments (“PBPs”) or progress payments. PBPs are interim payments of the contract price based on quantifiable measures of performance or the achievement of specified events or milestones. Progress payments are interim payments of costs incurred as the work progresses. For some of these contracts, the Company may be entitled to receive an advance payment. The advance payment typically is not considered a significant financing component because it is used to meet working capital demands that can be higher in the early stages of a construction contract and to protect the Company if the customer fails to adequately complete some or all of its obligations under the contract. In addition, the customer retains a small portion of the contract price until completion of the contract. Such retained portion of the contract price is not considered a significant financing component because the intent is to protect the customer. In certain contracts with its customers, the Company agrees to provide multiple goods or services, including construction of and sale of a station, O&M services, and sale of fuel to the customer. These contracts have multiple performance obligations because the promise to transfer each separate good or service is separately identifiable and distinct. This evaluation requires significant judgment and the decision to combine a group of contracts or separate the combined or single contract into multiple performance obligations could change the amount of revenue recognized in one or more periods. The Company allocates the contract price to each performance obligation using best estimates of the standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. The primary method used to estimate the standalone selling price for fuel and O&M services is observable standalone sales, and the primary method used to estimate the standalone selling price for station construction sales is the expected cost plus a margin approach because the Company sells customized customer-specific solutions. Under this approach, the Company forecasts expected costs of satisfying a performance obligation and then adds an appropriate margin for the good or service. Service Revenue O&M and Other Services O&M and other services are sold pursuant to contractual commitments over defined performance periods. These contracts typically include a stand-ready obligation to provide O&M and/or other services based on a committed and agreed upon routine maintenance schedule or when and if called upon by the customer. The Company applies the ‘right to invoice’ practical expedient and recognizes O&M and other services revenue in the amount to which the Company has the right to invoice. The Company has a right to consideration based on services rendered or on amount of GGEs of fuel dispensed by the customer multiplied by an agreed-upon rate. Customers are typically billed on a monthly basis. Since payment terms are less than a year, the Company has elected the practical expedient which allows it to not assess whether a customer contract has a significant financing component. Contract modifications are not distinct from the existing contract and are typically renewals of O&M and other service sales. As a result, these modifications are accounted for as if they were part of the existing contract. The effect of a contract modification on the transaction price is recognized prospectively. Other The majority of other revenue is from sales of used natural gas heavy-duty trucks purchased by the Company. Revenue on these contracts is recognized at the point in time when the customer accepts delivery of the truck. |

The Company recorded amortization expense relating to grant proceeds of $1.7 million, $1.7 million and $1.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively. No grant proceeds were received for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2020. Total grant proceeds received were approximately $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. |
Leases | Leases On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842, Leases At the inception of a contract the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The Company’s assessment is based on: (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether the Company obtains the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (3) whether the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. The commencement date of the contract is the date the lessor makes the underlying asset available for use by the lessee. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and lease liabilities represent obligations to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the net present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets also include any initial direct costs and advance lease payments made and exclude lease incentives. Lease liabilities also include terminal purchase options when deemed reasonably certain to exercise. The Company’s lease term includes options to extend when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise that option. The Company has elected not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a term of 12 months or less; the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. As most of the Company’s operating leases do not have an implicit rate that can be readily determined, the Company uses its secured incremental borrowing rate for the same term as the underlying lease based on information available at lease commencement. For finance leases, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease. The lease classification affects the expense recognition on the consolidated statements of operations. Operating lease charges are recorded in “Cost of sales, exclusive of depreciation and amortization,” and “Selling, general and administrative” expense. Finance lease charges are split, whereby depreciation on assets under finance leases is recorded in “Depreciation and amortization” expense and an implied interest component is recorded in “Interest expense.” The expense recognition for operating leases and finance leases is substantially consistent with legacy accounting. |
Long-Lived Assets | Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets with finite useful lives, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Events that could result in an impairment review include, among others, a significant decrease in the operating performance of a long-lived asset or asset group or the decision to close a fueling station. Impairment testing involves a comparison of the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows of the asset or asset group to its carrying amount. If the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows exceeds the carrying amount, then no impairment exists. If the carrying amount exceeds the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows, then a second step is performed to determine the amount of impairment, if any, to be recognized. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset or asset group exceeds its fair value. The fair value of the asset or asset group is based on estimated discounted future cash flows of the asset or asset group using a discount rate commensurate with the related risk. The estimate of future cash flows requires management to make assumptions and to apply judgment, including forecasting future sales and expenses and estimating useful lives of the assets. These estimates can be affected by a number of factors, including, among others, future results, demand, and economic conditions, many of which can be difficult to predict. There were no impairments of the Company’s long-lived assets in the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives using the straight-line method.

Goodwill | Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of costs incurred over the fair value of the net assets of acquired businesses. The Company assesses its goodwill using either a qualitative or quantitative approach to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of its reporting unit is less than its carrying value. The Company is required to use judgment when applying the goodwill impairment test, including, among other considerations, the identification of reporting unit(s), the assessment of qualitative factors, and the estimation of fair value of a reporting unit in the quantitative approach. The Company determined that it is a single reporting unit for the purpose of goodwill impairment tests. The Company performs the impairment test annually on October 1, or more frequently if facts and circumstances warrant a review. The qualitative goodwill assessment includes the evaluation of potential impact on a reporting unit’s fair value of certain events and circumstances, including its enterprise value, macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, and other relevant entity-specific events. If it is determined, based upon the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount, then a quantitative impairment test is performed. The quantitative assessment estimates the reporting unit’s fair value based on its enterprise value plus an assumed control premium as evidence of fair value. The estimates used to determine the fair value of the reporting unit may change based on results of operations, macroeconomic conditions, stock price fluctuations, or other factors. Changes in these estimates could materially affect our assessment of the fair value and goodwill impairment for the reporting unit. During the years ended The following table summarizes the activity related to the carrying amount of goodwill (in thousands): Balance as of December 31, 2020 $ 64,328 Balance as of December 31, 2021 $ 64,328 Balance as of December 31, 2022 $ 64,328 |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to its customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods or services. To achieve that core principle, a five-step approach is applied: (1) identify the contract with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue allocated to each performance obligation when the Company satisfies the performance obligation. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account for revenue recognition. The Company is generally the principal in its customer contracts because it has control over the goods and services prior to them being transferred to the customer, and as such, revenue is recognized on a gross basis. Sales and usage-based taxes are excluded from revenues. Revenue is recognized net of allowances for returns and any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. Product Revenue Volume-Related The Company’s volume-related product revenue consists of sales of RNG and conventional natural gas, in the form of CNG and LNG, AFTC incentives, and sales of RINs and LCFS Credits in addition to Amazon Warrant Charges (defined in Note 13) and changes in fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments associated with providing fuel to customers under contracts. RNG and conventional natural gas are sold pursuant to contractual commitments over defined delivery periods. These contracts typically include a stand-ready obligation to supply natural gas. The Company applies the ‘right to invoice’ practical expedient and recognizes fuel revenue in the amount to which the Company has the right to invoice. The Company has a right to consideration based on the amount of gasoline gallon equivalents (“GGEs”) of fuel dispensed by the customer and current pricing conditions. The Company calculates one GGE to equal 125,000 British Thermal Units (“BTUs”), and, as such, one million BTUs (“MMBTU”) equal eight GGEs. Customers are typically billed on a monthly basis. Since payment terms are less than a year, the Company has elected the practical expedient which allows it to not assess whether a customer contract has a significant financing component. Contract modifications are not distinct from the existing contract and are typically renewals of fuel sales. As a result, these modifications are accounted for as if they were part of the existing contract. The effect of a contract modification on the transaction price is recognized prospectively. The Company sells RINs and LCFS Credits to third parties that need the credits to comply with federal and state requirements. Revenue is recognized on these credits when there is an agreement in place to monetize the credits at a determinable price and the RNG fuel has been sold. The sales price for some environmental credit transactions may not be determinable in the period in which the RNG was sold as pricing is established in the quarter after the RNG was sold. In these circumstances, revenue from RIN and LCFS credits is recognized once the sales price has been established and therefore is considered determinable. Amazon Warrant Charges are determined based on the grant date fair value of the award, and the associated non-cash stock-based sales incentive charges, which are recorded as a reduction of revenue, are recognized as the customer purchases fuel and vesting conditions become probable of being achieved. See discussion under “Amazon Warrant” below and Note 13 for additional information. The changes in fair value of derivative instruments relate to the Company’s commodity swap and customer fueling contracts under the Zero Now Zero Now AFTC is generated when RNG or conventional natural gas is sold for use as fuel to operate a motor vehicle. See discussion under “Alternative Fuel Excise Tax Credit” below for more information about AFTC, which is not recognized as revenue until the period the credit is authorized through federal legislation. Station Construction Sales Station construction contracts are generally short-term, except for certain larger and more complex stations, which can take up to 24 months to complete. For most of the Company’s station construction contracts, the customer contracts with the Company to provide a significant service of integrating a complex set of tasks and components into a single station. Hence, the entire contract is accounted for as one performance obligation. The Company recognizes revenue over time as the Company performs under its station construction contracts because of the continual transfer of control of the goods to the customer, who typically controls the work in process. Revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation and is recorded proportionally as costs are incurred. Costs to fulfill the Company’s obligations under these contracts typically include labor, materials and subcontractors’ costs, other direct costs and an allocation of indirect costs. Refinements of estimates to account for changing conditions and new developments are continuous and characteristic of the process. Many factors that can affect contract profitability may change during the performance period of the contract, including differing site conditions, the availability of skilled contract labor, the performance of major suppliers and subcontractors, and unexpected changes in material costs. Because a significant change in one or more of these estimates could affect the profitability of these contracts, the contract price and cost estimates are reviewed periodically as work progresses and adjustments proportionate to the cost-to-cost measure of progress are reflected in contract revenues in the reporting period when such estimates are revised. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which the losses become known. Contract modifications are typically expansions in scope of an existing station construction project. As a result, these modifications are accounted for as if they were part of the existing contract. The effect of a contract modification on the transaction price and the Company’s measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates is recognized as an adjustment to revenue (either as an increase or a reduction) on a cumulative catch-up basis. Under the typical payment terms of the Company’s station construction contracts, the customer makes either performance-based payments (“PBPs”) or progress payments. PBPs are interim payments of the contract price based on quantifiable measures of performance or the achievement of specified events or milestones. Progress payments are interim payments of costs incurred as the work progresses. For some of these contracts, the Company may be entitled to receive an advance payment. The advance payment typically is not considered a significant financing component because it is used to meet working capital demands that can be higher in the early stages of a construction contract and to protect the Company if the customer fails to adequately complete some or all of its obligations under the contract. In addition, the customer retains a small portion of the contract price until completion of the contract. Such retained portion of the contract price is not considered a significant financing component because the intent is to protect the customer. In certain contracts with its customers, the Company agrees to provide multiple goods or services, including construction of and sale of a station, O&M services, and sale of fuel to the customer. These contracts have multiple performance obligations because the promise to transfer each separate good or service is separately identifiable and distinct. This evaluation requires significant judgment and the decision to combine a group of contracts or separate the combined or single contract into multiple performance obligations could change the amount of revenue recognized in one or more periods. The Company allocates the contract price to each performance obligation using best estimates of the standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. The primary method used to estimate the standalone selling price for fuel and O&M services is observable standalone sales, and the primary method used to estimate the standalone selling price for station construction sales is the expected cost plus a margin approach because the Company sells customized customer-specific solutions. Under this approach, the Company forecasts expected costs of satisfying a performance obligation and then adds an appropriate margin for the good or service. Service Revenue O&M and Other Services O&M and other services are sold pursuant to contractual commitments over defined performance periods. These contracts typically include a stand-ready obligation to provide O&M and/or other services based on a committed and agreed upon routine maintenance schedule or when and if called upon by the customer. The Company applies the ‘right to invoice’ practical expedient and recognizes O&M and other services revenue in the amount to which the Company has the right to invoice. The Company has a right to consideration based on services rendered or on amount of GGEs of fuel dispensed by the customer multiplied by an agreed-upon rate. Customers are typically billed on a monthly basis. Since payment terms are less than a year, the Company has elected the practical expedient which allows it to not assess whether a customer contract has a significant financing component. Contract modifications are not distinct from the existing contract and are typically renewals of O&M and other service sales. As a result, these modifications are accounted for as if they were part of the existing contract. The effect of a contract modification on the transaction price is recognized prospectively. Other The majority of other revenue is from sales of used natural gas heavy-duty trucks purchased by the Company. Revenue on these contracts is recognized at the point in time when the customer accepts delivery of the truck. |
Alternative Fuels Tax Credit | Alternative Fuel Excise Tax Credit Under separate pieces of U.S. federal legislation, the Company was eligible to receive a federal alternative fuel excise tax credit (“AFTC”) for its natural gas vehicle fuel sales made between October 1, 2006 and December 31, 2021. The AFTC credit was equal to $0.50 per GGE of CNG that the Company sold as vehicle fuel, and $0.50 per diesel gallon of LNG that the Company sold as vehicle fuel in 2020 and 2021. The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, enacted on August 16, 2022, extended AFTC for an additional three years, beginning retroactively to January 1, 2022. AFTC incentive under the extension remains at $0.50 per GGE of CNG and $0.50 per diesel gallon of LNG that the Company sells as vehicle fuel through December 31, 2024. Based on the service relationship with its customers, either the Company or its customer claims the credit. The Company records its AFTC credits, if any, as revenue in its consolidated statements of operations because the credits are fully payable to the Company and do not offset income tax liabilities. As such, the credits are not deemed income tax credits under the accounting guidance applicable to income taxes. |
LNG Transportation Costs | LNG Transportation Costs The Company records the costs incurred to transport LNG to its customers in “Product cost of sales” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. |
Advertising Costs | Advertising Costs Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022. |
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation The Company recognizes compensation expense for all stock‑based payment arrangements over the requisite service period of the award and recognizes forfeitures as they occur. For service and performance-based stock options, the Company determines the grant date fair value using the Black‑Scholes option pricing model, which requires the input of certain assumptions, including the expected life of the stock‑based payment award, stock price volatility and risk‑free interest rate. For market-based stock options, the Company determines the grant date fair value using the Monte Carlo simulation model, which requires the input of certain assumptions, including the derived service period and the volatility of the Company’s stock price. For restricted stock units, the Company determines the grant date fair value based on the closing market price of its common stock on the date of grant. |
Amazon Warrant | Amazon Warrant The Amazon Warrant (as defined in Note 13) is accounted for as an equity instrument and measured in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation Revenue from Contracts with Customers |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the tax bases and financial carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities. The impact on deferred taxes of changes in tax rates and laws, if any, are applied to the years during which temporary differences are expected to be settled and are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period of enactment. Valuation allowances are established when management determines it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized. When evaluating the need for a valuation analysis, we use estimates involving a high degree of judgment including projected future US GAAP income and the amounts and estimated timing of the reversal of any deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company has a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not sustainable upon examination by taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company recognizes potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefit in income tax expense. The Company operates within multiple domestic and foreign taxing jurisdictions and is subject to audit in these jurisdictions. These audits can involve complex issues, which may require an extended period of time to resolve. Although the Company believes that adequate consideration has been given to these issues, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these issues could be significantly different from originally estimated. |
Net Loss Per Share | Net Loss Per Share Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to Clean Energy Fuels Corp. by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and common shares issuable for little or no cash consideration during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to Clean Energy Fuels Corp. by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and common shares issuable for little or no cash consideration during the period and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period, and therefore reflects the dilution from common shares that may be issued upon exercise or conversion of these potentially dilutive securities, such as stock options, warrants, convertible notes and restricted stock units. The dilutive effect of stock awards and warrants is computed under the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect of convertible notes and restricted stock units is computed under the if-converted method. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computations of diluted net loss per share if their effect would be antidilutive. |
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions | Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions The Company uses the local currency as the functional currency of its foreign subsidiary and equity method investment. Accordingly, all assets and liabilities outside the United States are translated into U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expense items are translated at the weighted-average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in stockholders’ equity. Foreign currency transactions occur when there is a transaction denominated in other than the respective entity’s functional currency. The Company records the changes in the exchange rate for these transactions in its consolidated statements of operations. For each of the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, foreign exchange transaction gains and (losses) were immaterial and were included in “Other income (expense), net” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. |
Comprehensive Loss | Comprehensive Loss Comprehensive loss is defined as the change in equity (net assets) of a business enterprise during the period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. The difference between net loss and comprehensive loss for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022 was comprised of the Company’s foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities. |
Concentration of Credit Risk | Concentration of Credit Risk Credit is extended to all customers based on financial condition, and collateral is generally not required. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited because of the large number of customers comprising the Company’s customer base and dispersion across many different industries and geographies. Certain international customers, however, have historically been slower to pay on trade receivables. Accordingly, the Company continually monitors collections and payments from its customers and maintains a provision for estimated credit losses based upon its historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that it has identified. Although credit losses have historically been within the Company’s expectations and the provisions established, the Company cannot guarantee that it will continue to experience the same credit loss rates that it has in the past. |
