Property, Plant and Equipment [Abstract]

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment consist of the following:

		December 31, 2019				December 31, 2018
Land		$	4,104			$	4,116
Plant and buildings			83,139				82,445
Furniture and fixtures			1,094				1,056
Machinery and equipment			4,252				3,928
Construction in progress			12,571				3,581
GAFI property held for development			15,408				15,408
Total gross property, plant & equipment			120,568				110,534
Less accumulated depreciation			(36,342	)			(32,042	)
Total net property, plant & equipment		$	84,226			$	78,492

Interest capitalized in property, plant, and equipment was $316 thousand and $135 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Given there are several ongoing capital projects such as Biogas digesters, CO2 project, cellulosic ethanol and ongoing capital updates in India, these capital expenses have been accumulated in construction in progress and will be capitalized and depreciated once the capital projects are finished and are in service.

Depreciation on the components of the property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their depreciable amounts over their estimated useful lives as follows:

		Years
Plant and buildings			20 - 30
Machinery and equipment			5 - 7
Furniture and fixtures			3 - 5

The Company recorded depreciation expense of approximately $4.4 million and $4.6 million respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets with finite lives in accordance with ASC Subtopic 360-10-35 Property Plant and Equipment –Subsequent Measurements, which requires recognition of impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, based on estimated undiscounted cash flows, the impairment loss would be measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the assets and its estimated fair value. Based on the analysis, our long-lived assets did not require impairment adjustment as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.
