The Pure Hydrogen share price gained a massive 31% when the company announced its partnership with CAC-H2.

Finally, the company's 51%-owned Botswana-based Serowe Gas Project received a resource update last quarter.

What else happened during the quarter?

Like many, the company continued to respond to COVID-19 over the December quarter.

The company is expecting the first waste hydrogen plant, located in Caboolture, to be operational by the end of 2022.

Additionally, H2X Global is planning to launch its first hydrogen-powered ute to the Australian market in the first half of 2022.
