Dear Sir or Madam

 

United Hydrogen Global Inc., Company Number 410367 (the Company)

 

We are lawyers qualified to practise in the Cayman Islands and have acted as Cayman Islands legal adviser to the Company in connection with the Company’s registration statement on Form F-4, including all amendments or supplements thereto, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) on 10 September 2025 (the Registration Statement) under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), relating to the offering under the Registration Statement, including a related proxy statement/prospectus included in the Registration Statement, providing, in part, for the registration of up to 66,759,245.50 class A ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.0001 each and 90,808,887.50 class B ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.0001 each of the Company (together, the Offer Shares).

 

We are furnishing this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement.

 

For the purposes of giving this opinion, we have examined the Documents (as defined in Schedule 1). We have not examined any other documents, official or corporate records or external or internal registers and have not undertaken or been instructed to undertake any further enquiry or due diligence in relation to the transaction which is the subject of this opinion.

 

In giving this opinion we have relied upon the assumptions set out in Schedule 2 which we have not independently verified.

 

Based solely upon the foregoing examinations and assumptions and upon such searches as we have conducted and having regard to legal considerations which we deem relevant, and subject to the qualifications set out in Schedule 3, we are of the opinion that under the laws of the Cayman Islands:

 

1Existence and Good Standing. The Company has been duly incorporated as an exempted company with limited liability and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Cayman Islands.

 

The British Virgin Islands is Harneys Hong Kong office’s main jurisdiction of practice.
Jersey legal services are provided through a referral arrangement with Harneys (Jersey) which is an independently owned and controlled Jersey law firm.

2 Authorised Share Capital. Based on our review of the Restated M&A (as defined in Schedule 1), the authorised share capital of the Company, with effect from the date that the Restated M&A becomes effective, will be US$50,000 divided into 409,000,000 class A ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.0001 each and 91,000,000 class B ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.0001 each.
   
3 Valid Issuance of Offer Shares. The allotment and issue of the Offer Shares as contemplated by the Registration Statement have been duly authorised and, when allotted, issued and fully paid for in accordance with the Registration Statement, and when the names of the shareholders are entered in the register of members of the Company, the Offer Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
   
4 Cayman Islands Law. The statements under the headings “Description of PubCo Securities”, “Enforceability of Civil Liabilities” and “Legal Matters” in the prospectus forming part of the Registration Statement, to the extent that they constitute statements of Cayman Islands law, are accurate in all material respects as at the date of this opinion and such statements constitute our opinion.

 

This opinion is confined to the matters expressly opined on herein and given on the basis of the laws of the Cayman Islands as they are in force and applied by the Cayman Islands courts at the date of this opinion. We have made no investigation of, and express no opinion on, the laws of any other jurisdiction. We express no opinion as to matters of fact. Except as specifically stated herein, we make no comment with respect to any representations and warranties which may be made by or with respect to the Company in the Registration Statement. We express no opinion with respect to the commercial terms of the transactions the subject of this opinion.

 

In connection with the above opinion, we hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference made to our firm in the Registration Statement under the headings “Description of PubCo Securities”, “Enforceability of Civil Liabilities” and “Legal Matters” and elsewhere in the prospectus included in the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we come within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations of the Commission thereunder.

 

This opinion is limited to the matters referred to herein and shall not be construed as extending to any other matter or document not referred to herein.

 

This opinion shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands.

 

Yours faithfully

 

Harney Westwood & Riegels

SCHEDULE 3

 

Qualifications

 

1Foreign Statutes. We express no opinion in relation to provisions making reference to foreign statutes in the Registration Statement.

 

2Commercial Terms. Except as specifically stated herein, we make no comment with respect to any representations and warranties which may be made by or with respect to the Company in any of the documents or instruments cited in this opinion or otherwise with respect to the commercial terms of the transactions the subject of this opinion.

 

3Register of members. Under the Companies Act, the register of members of a Cayman Islands company is by statute regarded as prima facie evidence of any matters which the Companies Act directs or authorises to be inserted therein. A third party interest in the shares in question would not appear. An entry in the register of members may yield to a court order for rectification (for example, in the event of fraud or manifest error).

 

4Meaning of Non-Assessable. In this opinion the phrase non-assessable means, with respect to the issuance of Offer Shares, that a shareholder shall not, in respect of the relevant Offer Shares, have any obligation to make further contributions to the Company’s assets (except in exceptional circumstances, such as involving fraud, the establishment of an agency relationship or an illegal or improper purpose or other circumstances in which a court may be prepared to pierce or lift the corporate veil).
  
5Good Standing. The Company shall be deemed to be in good standing at any time if all fees (including annual filing fees) and penalties under the Companies Act have been paid and the Registrar of Companies has no knowledge that the Company is in default under the Companies Act (Revised) of the Cayman Islands.

 

6Economic Substance. We have undertaken no enquiry and express no view as to the compliance of the Company with the International Tax Co-operation (Economic Substance) Act (Revised).
