to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”). Contemporaneously, we are filing
Amendment No. 4 to the Registration Statement via Edgar.
In

Please tell us whether any additional redeemable shares have been redeemed since December 31, 2022. If so, tell us how such redemptions
are reflected in your pro forma financial statements and consider disclosing information about the redemptions throughout your filing,
if material, including in the respective Notes to Financial Statements.

redeemed since December 31, 2022.
Summary
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
Basis
of Pro Forma presentation, page 41
2.
It appears that your pro forma Energem shares outstanding table on page 41 includes shares related to your public and private placement
warrants. Please more fully explain what these shares represent. In this regard, we note from your disclosure in footnote (3) that the
amounts in the table exclude shares underlying the public and private warrants held by Energem shareholders. We also note from your disclosure
on page 125 that the only warrants that will be issued and outstanding upon the consummation of the Business Combination are the same
warrants issued and outstanding in connection with the Energem IPO. The same comment applies to the table on page 75.
Response:
The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and advises the Staff that the calculation of the warrants assumes
cashless exercise and updated the table and notes on pages 41 and 75. The disclosure on page 125 is correct that the total number
of redeemable warrants under the public and private placement warrants does not change after the business combination.

You disclose on page F-11 that “management has determined that if the company is unsuccessful in consummating an initial business
combination within the prescribed period of time from the closing of the IPO, the requirement that the company cease all operations,
redeem the public shares and thereafter liquidate and dissolve raises substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern”.
Please tell us how your auditor considered whether an explanatory paragraph about your ability to continue as a going concern is warranted
in light of your disclosure.
Response:
The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and advises the Staff that Adeptus Partners, LLC issued a revised Report
