Let's take a look at the outlook for this ASX hydrogen share.

What's ahead?

Commenting on the deal, ReNu CEO Greg Watson said:

Our task now is to advance to definitive agreements as soon as possible and progress commercial discussions with our project partners for green hydrogen offtake.

Meanwhile, on 17 November, ReNu advised it had signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Australian Pacific Airports to develop a green hydrogen project at Launceston Airport.

Peak Asset Management executive director Niv Dagan recommends the ReNu Energy share price as a buy. Commenting on The Bull, Dagan said:

The company invests in renewable and clean energy technologies. Also, it identifies and develops hydrogen projects. RNE acquired Countrywide Hydrogen in February 2022.

The company continues to progress its hydrogen projects.

Trading halt
