    Registration Statement on Form F-3

    Filed April 29, 2022

    File No. 333-264579

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter is in response to the letter dated
May 13, 2022, from the staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) addressed
to CN ENERGY GROUP. INC. (the “Company”, “we”, and “our”). For ease of reference, we have recited
the Commission’s comments in this response and numbered them accordingly. An amended Registration Statement on Form F-3 (the “Amended
Registration Statement”) is being filed to accompany this letter.

Cover Page

1. We note your disclosure on the prospectus
cover page that you are not a Chinese operating company but a British Virgin Islands holding company with operations conducted by your
subsidiaries. Please provide a cross-reference to your detailed discussion of risks facing the company and the offering as a result of
your organizational structure.

In response to the Staff’s comments, we
revised our disclosure on the cover page of the Amended Registration Statement to provide a cross-reference to our detailed discussion
of risks facing the Company and the offering as a result of our organizational structure.

2.
We note the following statement on the cover page: “PRC laws and regulations governing our current business operations are sometimes
vague and uncertain, and as a result these risks may result in material changes in the operations of our subsidiaries, significant depreciation
or a complete loss of the value of our securities, or a complete hindrance of our ability to offer, or continue to offer, our securities
to investors.” Please revise to make expressly clear whether the legal and operational risks associated with being based in or having
the majority of the company’s operations in China could significantly limit or completely hinder your ability to offer securities
to investors and cause the value of your securities to significantly decline or be worthless.

In
response to the Staff’s comments, we revised our disclosure on the cover page of the Amended Registration Statement to make expressly
clear that the legal and operational risks associated with being based in or having the majority of the Company’s operations
in China could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer securities to investors and cause the value of our securities
to significantly decline or be worthless.

3. We note your disclosure here regarding the
structure of cash flows within your organization. Please update your disclosure to disclose if you have specific cash management policies
and procedures in place that dictate how funds are transferred through your organization and if applicable, describe these policies and
procedures in greater detail.

In response to the Staff’s comments, we
updated our disclosure on the cover page of the Amended Registration Statement to disclose and describe our specific cash management policies
and procedures in place that dictate how funds are transferred through our organization.

4. Please revise the definition of “China”
or the “PRC” to include Hong Kong and Macau.

In response to the Staff’s comments, we
revised our disclosure on page 1 of the Amended Registration Statement to revise the definition of “China” or the “PRC”
to include Hong Kong and Macau.

Prospectus Summary, page 1

5. We note the corporate structure diagram
on page 27 of the Form 20-F for the year-ended September 30, 2021. Please revise here to provide early in the prospectus summary a diagram
of the company’s corporate structure.

In response to the Staff’s comments, we
revised our disclosure on page 4 of the Amended Registration Statement to provide early in the prospectus summary a diagram of the company’s
corporate structure.

6.
We note your statement on page 7: “The PRC government imposes controls on the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies and the
remittance of currencies out of the PRC.” Please revise to describe the restrictions on foreign exchange.

In response to the Staff’s comments, we
revised our disclosure on page 7 of the Amended Registration Statement to describe the restrictions on foreign exchange.

In responding to your comments, the Company acknowledges
that:

    ●
    the Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing;

    ●
    Staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to Staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and

    ●
    the Company may not assert Staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.

We appreciate the assistance the Staff has provided
with its comments. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call our counsel, Ying Li, Esq., of Hunter Taubman Fischer &
Li LLC, at (212) 530-2206.

    Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form F-1

    Filed on January 15, 2021

    File No. 333-239659

Dear Ms. Breslin:

This letter is in response to the letter
dated January 23, 2021, from the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”)
addressed to CN ENERGY GROUP. INC. (the “Company”, “we”, and “our”). For ease of reference,
we have recited the Commission’s comments in this response and numbered them accordingly. An amended Registration Statement
on Form F-1 (the “Amended Registration Statement No. 3”) is being submitted confidentially to accompany this letter.

Shares, page F-27

1. Please revise your note to disclose
how you evaluated your preferred shares to determine whether they contain a beneficial conversion feature, and if so, how you account
for this feature.

In response to the Staff’s comments,
we revised our disclosure on page F-27 of the Amended Registration Statement No. 3 to disclose how we evaluated our preferred shares
to determine that they contain a beneficial conversion feature and how we account for this feature.

Exhibits

2.Please file a revised Exhibit 5.1
that opines as to the underwriter's warrants and the shares underlying the underwriter's warrants. For guidance, refer to Section
II.B.1. of Staff Legal Bulletin No. 19.

In response to the Staff’s comments,
we filed a revised Exhibit 5.1 that opines as to the shares underlying the underwriter’s warrants and a new Exhibit 5.2 that
opines as to the underwriter’s warrants.

3. In addition, the Exhibit 5.1 legal
opinion should not assume conclusions of law or material facts that are necessary for the ultimate opinion. Please file a revised
Exhibit 5.1 legal opinion that does not include the assumptions set forth in paragraphs 5, 7, 8, 9, 11 and 12 of Schedule 2. For
guidance, please refer to Section II.B.3.a of Staff Legal Bulletin No. 19.

In response to the Staff’s comments,
we filed a revised Exhibit 5.1 legal opinion that does not include the assumptions set forth in paragraphs 7, 8, 9, 11, and 12
of Schedule 2. Carey Olsen Singapore LLP, our counsel with respect to the laws of the British Virgin Islands, respectfully advises
the Staff that the assumption set forth in paragraph 5 of Schedule 2 is a standard assumption and the reason for the inclusion
in their opinion is that they can only opine on matters of British Virgin Islands law and in respect of the Company; they therefore
have to assume that there are no matters of foreign legislation that affect their opinion.

In responding to your comments, the Company
acknowledges that:

    ●
    the Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing;

    ●
    Staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to Staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and

    ●
