This Schedule 13D is being filed by the undersigned, pursuant to §240.13d-1(a), with respect to the Common Stock (the “Common Stock”) of Nuvve Holding Corp. (the “Issuer”) that the Reporting Persons are deemed to beneficially own. The Issuer’s principal executive offices are located at 2468 Historic Decatur Road, San Diego, CA 92106.

(a-c, f) This Schedule 13D is filed on behalf of each of the following (the “Reporting Persons”): (i) Stonepeak GP Investors Holdings LP, a Delaware limited partnership; (ii) Stonepeak GP Investors Upper Holdings LP, a Delaware limited partnership; and (iii) Stonepeak GP Investors Holdings Manager LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.

This Schedule 13D relates to (i) warrants exercisable for shares of Common Stock (“Warrants”), held by Stonepeak Rocket Holdings II LP and Evolve Transition Infrastructure LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Evolve”) and (ii) Common Stock issuable to Stonepeak Rocket Holdings II LP and Evolve pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement between the Issuer, Evolve and Stonepeak Rocket Holdings LP (who subsequently transferred its rights under the Securities Purchase Agreement to Stonepeak Rocket Holdings II LP). Stonepeak Associates IV LLC is the general partner of Stonepeak Rocket Holdings II LP. Stonepeak GP Investors IV LLC is the sole member of Stonepeak Associates IV LLC. Stonepeak GP Investors Holdings LP is the managing member of Stonepeak GP Investors IV LLC. Stonepeak GP Investors Upper Holdings LP is the general partner of Stonepeak GP Investors Holdings LP. Stonepeak GP Investors Holdings Manager LLC is the general partner of Stonepeak GP Investors Upper Holdings LP. Mr. Michael B. Dorrell is the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, co-founder and sole member of Stonepeak GP Investors Holdings Manager LLC.

Upon the completion of the Restructuring (as defined in Item 4 herein), each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to indirectly exercise voting and dispositive power over the shares of Common Stock issuable to Stonepeak Rocket Holdings II LP and Evolve. Each of Stonepeak Rocket Holdings LP, Stonepeak Rocket Upper Holdings LP, Stonepeak Rocket Holdings II LP, Stonepeak Associates IV LLC, Stonepeak GP Investors IV LLC, and Mr. Dorrell (collectively, the “Other Stonepeak Persons” and, together with the Reporting Persons, the “Stonepeak Reporting Persons”) previously reported their beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein.

The address of the principal office for each of the Reporting Persons is 55 Hudson Yards, 550 W. 34th St., 48th Floor, New York, NY 10001.

The agreement among each of the Reporting Persons to file this Schedule 13D jointly in accordance with Rule 13d-1(k) of the Exchange Act is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

(d) None of the Reporting Persons has, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

(e) None of the Reporting Persons has, during the last five years, been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and, as a result of such proceeding, was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

The response to Item 4 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference herein.

On June 26, 2023, the Stonepeak Reporting Persons completed an internal restructuring (the “Restructuring”), pursuant to which the Reporting Persons were created and Stonepeak GP Investors Holdings LP replaced Stonepeak GP Investors Manager LLC as the managing member of Stonepeak GP Investors IV LLC. Following the Restructuring, Stonepeak GP Investors Manager LLC ceased being a beneficial owner of any Common Stock.

The information disclosed in Item 4 of the Schedule 13D filed by the Other Stonepeak Persons reporting their beneficial ownership of the Common Stock, as amended, is incorporated by reference herein.

(a) As of the date hereof, each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed the beneficial owner of 11,000,000 shares of Common Stock, which is the sum of (i) 9,900,000 shares of Common Stock issuable to Stonepeak Rocket Holdings II LP, and (ii) 1,100,000 shares of Common Stock issuable to Evolve. This amount represents approximately 26.7% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, as calculated below.

The foregoing beneficial ownership percentage is based on approximately 41,132,339 shares of Common Stock outstanding, which is the sum of (i) 30,132,339 shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Issuer’s registered direct offering expected to close on or about June 6, 2023, as reported in the Issuer’s prospectus on Form 424B5, filed June 6, 2023, plus, for purposes of calculating the Reporting Persons’ beneficial ownership pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d)(i) under the Act, (ii) the 9,900,000 shares of Common Stock issuable to Stonepeak Rocket Holdings II LP, and (iii) the 1,100,000 shares of Common Stock issuable to Evolve.

(b) The Reporting Persons have shared voting power and shared dispositive power over (i) the 9,900,000 shares of Common Stock issuable to Stonepeak Rocket Holdings II LP, and (ii) the 1,100,000 shares of Common Stock issuable to Evolve.

(c) The response to Item 4 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference herein. Except as set forth in the Schedule 13D, there were no transactions in shares of Common Stock by the Reporting Persons during the past sixty days.

(d) The response to Item 4 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference herein. Certain investors in the Stonepeak Reporting Persons may have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the shares of Common Stock that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.

(e) This Item 5(e) is not applicable.

The response to Item 4 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference herein.

The information disclosed in Item 6 of the Schedule 13D filed by the Other Stonepeak Persons reporting their beneficial ownership of the Common Units, as amended, is incorporated by reference herein.
