Misleading NR leads to the Organic Hydrogen Project Fiasco!

First of all, I want to thank my friend Red for bringing to my attention Chemtrade's bungled Organic Hydrogen Growth Projects.
On March 10, 2021, Chemtrade announced that they had completed a $70 million bought deal equity offering in which "Chemtrade intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to repay outstanding indebtedness under the Fund’s existing credit facility and for general trust purposes. The Fund expects to draw on its credit facility in connection with future organic growth opportunities, particularly in ultra-pure sulphuric acid and water chemical products and the monetization of by-product hydrogen in the Electrochemicals segment".
Initially, Chemtrade announced in their Business Update dated March 29, 2021 that they had a deal to produce organic hydrogen at their Prince George facility.
If you take a close look at subsequent Business Updates, beginning with the one dated February 22, 2022, you will notice that Chemtrade is touting the fact that new hydrogen projects are being planned for their plants at Prince George and Brandon, with construction commencing at Prince George later in 2022.
In the Business Update which is now called an Investor Presentation, dated November 23, 2022, Chemtrade now states that construction is still expected to commence at Prince George in 2022 and production of hydrogen is to begin in 2023, with of course the Brandon opportunity is expected to be even more significant!
In the Investor Presentation dated March 3, 2023, Chemtrade states that the hydrogen project at Prince George has now been delayed, but planning continues for two "additional" hydrogen projects unaffected by the delay at Prince George.
In the two remaining Investor Presentations for 2023, Chemtrade only says that "planning continues for hydrogen projects".
The question now has to be asked, what happened to these organic hydrogen projects that Chemtrade had been highly touting for the last 3 years? Keep in mind that Chemtrade clearly stated that they would be receiving "significant" returns after these projects had been in operation for 5 years!
Too funny...
