CERTIFICATE OF CORRECTION

TO

FIFTH AMENDED AND RESTATED
CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
OF
VERDE CLEAN FUELS, INC.

Verde Clean Fuels, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “Corporation”).

DOES HEREBY CERTIFY:

1. The name of the corporation is Verde Clean Fuels, Inc.

2. That a Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate”) was filed by the Secretary of State of Delaware on January 29, 2025, and that said Certificate requires correction as permitted by subsection (f) of Section 103 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

3. The Certificate is an inaccurate record of the corporate action taken due to a scrivener’s error whereby the definition of “Effective Date” in the preamble inadvertently refers to the date the Certificate was filed instead of the effective date of the Corporation’s previously filed Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.
