 could, in turn,
impact the timing and scale of potential commercial opportunities available to us in the U.S. market. Although we continue to pursue growth
through our own resources and potential partnerships, reduced government support could adversely affect the broader competitive landscape
and may negatively influence investor and customer interest in renewable hydrogen solutions.

 Our business depends on proprietary
technology that we may not be able to protect and may infringe on the intellectual property rights of others.

Our success will depend, in
part, on our technology’s commercial viability and on the strength of our intellectual property rights. We currently hold patents
in the US, China, Australia, and Europe but still have several patents pending in multiple countries.  There is no guarantee the
pending patents will be granted. In addition, any agreements we enter into with our employees, consultants, advisors, customers and strategic
partners will contain restrictions on the disclosure and use of trade secrets, inventions and confidential information relating to our
technology may not provide meaningful protection in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure.

Third parties may assert that
our technology, or the products we, our customers or partners commercialize using our technology, infringes upon their proprietary rights.
We have yet to complete an infringement analysis and, even if such an analysis were available at the current time, it is virtually impossible
for us to be certain that no infringement exists, particularly in our case where our products have not yet been fully developed.

as well as in enforcing our rights against others, and if we are found to infringe, the manufacture, sale and use of our or our customers’
or partners’ products could be enjoined. Any claims against us, with or without merit, would likely be time-consuming, requiring
our management team to dedicate substantial time to addressing the issues presented. Furthermore, the parties bringing claims may have
greater resources than we do.

We do not maintain theft or casualty insurance
and only maintain liability and property insurance coverage and therefore, we could incur losses as a result of an uninsured loss.

We do not maintain theft,
casualty insurance, or property insurance coverage. We may incur uninsured liabilities and losses as a result of the conduct of our business.
Any such uninsured or
