File No. 333-269932
Dear Ms. Paulemon and Mr. Gabor:
On behalf of our client, C02 Energy Transition
Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), we submit to the staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) this letter setting forth the Company’s response to the comment
contained in the Staff’s letter dated January 31, 2024 (the “Comment Letter”) regarding the Company’s Amendment
No. 12 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) filed January 9, 2024. Concurrent herewith,
we are filing Amendment No. 3 to the Company’s Registration Statement reflecting the changes set forth below (“Amendment
No. 3”) as well as the requisite exhibits. For ease of reference, we have reproduced the comment below in bold with our responses
following the comments.
Form S-1/A filed on January 9, 2024
The Offering, page 13
1. We note that throughout the prospectus you state that your initial stockholders will collectively own
approximately 26.7% of our issued and outstanding shares after this offering. However, on page 17 you say that they will own 23.8% after
this offering. Please revise to reconcile these inconsistencies and ensure that your calculation of the initial stockholders’ percentage
ownership is correct.
RESPONSE: Due to further
changes in the terms, the percentages have been corrected on page 17 and throughout the remainder of the document to be 27.6% of the issued
and outstanding shares assuming no exercise of the over-allotment option but taking into account shares being purchased through the private
placement units.
