Concurrently with the submission

Amendment No. 3 to Preliminary Proxy Statement
on Schedule 14A, filed September 29, 2023
Opinion of Dune’s Financial Advisor
Discounted Cash Flow Analysis, page 115
1. We note your statement
that “The 2023 – 2032 forecast was one of multiple financial analyses used by Newbridge in connection with its opinion based
on guidance from Global Hydrogen.” Please expand on this statement to explain the other financial analyses Newbridge used in connection
with its opinion. Please note if the other financial analyses are disclosed in the proxy statement. To the extent the financial analyses
are not disclosed, please explain why you believe they are not required to be disclosed.
RESPONSE:
Upon further
consideration, in response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has deleted such statement in the Fourth Amended Proxy
Statement. The Company respectfully advises the Staff that the comparable public company analysis disclosed in “The
Business Combination Proposal — Opinion of Dune’s Financial Advisor — Comparable Public Company
Analysis” beginning on page 112 of the Fourth Amended Proxy Statement and the DCF Analysis disclosed in “The
Business Combination Proposal — Opinion of Dune’s Financial Advisor — Discounted Cash Flow
Analysis” beginning on page 113 of the Fourth Amended Proxy Statement were the only two financial analyses that Newbridge
used in connection with rendering its fairness opinion to the Dune Board of Directors. The Company has revised the Third Amended
Proxy Statement in response to the Staff’s comment. Please see pages 66, 112, 114 and 115 of the Fourth Amended Proxy
Statement.
