BP, dynaCERT, and Amazon – Substantial profits through new markets
Under the leadership of its new CEO, the oil and gas giant BP is scaling back its ambitious climate targets. Even if the policy of some countries would prefer to focus on zero emissions, transitional technologies are needed between fossil fuels and renewable energies. It is precisely at this interface that the technology company dynaCERT is developing applicable solutions for CO₂ reduction for diesel engines. The Company has now received certification from the renowned organization Verra according to the latest and globally valid CO₂ standards. The Verra Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) program is the world leader in the certification of carbon credits. This certification opens up an additional market for dynaCERT and its investors, from which shareholders also benefit. Amazon, in turn, is using AI to improve both efficiency in its warehouses and the sustainability of its logistics. We take a look at the growth opportunities in detail.

Volkswagen, First Hydrogen, Lufthansa – Future Technologies for Transport in Focus
The monumental task required to convert entire industries to renewable energies is clearly taking shape. This week, the who's who of the German automotive industry came together for a virtual auto summit. Volkswagen is sticking with hybrids, while politicians want to make the e-vehicle more appealing to citizens. However, the proper infrastructure is lacking. The future could look quite different for the hydrogen market. First Hydrogen is a commercial vehicle supplier that wants to revolutionize the logistics industry with its hydrogen van. The outstanding range of the so-called FCEV, reaching 650 km with only one refuelling, demonstrates that this technology can be far more promising than battery-electric vehicles. Lufthansa customers are realizing that environmental protection costs money. On the one hand, the Company wants to charge fuel surcharges in the freight business, and on the other hand, flight connections are to be reduced in order to withstand the price war with competitors. We provide the details.

E-mobility, copper boom, and chemical crisis: Rheinmetall, Prismo Metals, and BASF showcase industry trends
Rheinmetall's share price has risen by 438.95% since the start of the Ukraine conflict. Now, the Company is looking far beyond the defense industry. From electric coolant pumps for hybrid vehicles to hydrogen recirculation blowers for fuel cells, Rheinmetall is positioning itself as a pioneer in key technologies for sustainable mobility. This demand is significantly impacting the need for copper. Here, Prismo Metals is positioning itself as a strategically ideal partner with projects in Mexico and the US. While BASF seeks to secure its competitiveness with these measures, this also raises questions about the future of the chemical industry in Europe and the impact of strict climate regulations on global corporations.

Globex Mining, Bayer, and Plug Power - Which company offers the best return with low risk?
Investors understand the interplay between risk and return. Which sectors offer high returns? The Canadian commodities company Globex Mining skillfully balances risk and return in the commodities sector with its diversified portfolio of over 200 commodities projects in North America and Europe. Its setup is akin to a mini-version of Berkshire Hathaway. Bayer AG is tapping into new growth opportunities in the pharmaceuticals sector with its Phase III study for a lung cancer drug. This is much needed as numerous patents are expiring. Plug Power, a pioneer in hydrogen technology is putting all its eggs in one basket - with the potential for huge profits but also considerable losses, as evidenced by the share price plunge from USD 70 in 2021 to currently below USD 3 shows.
