The economy around the globe is in a waiting position. As soon as the spread of the Corona Virus no longer poses a general threat or the social understanding of restrictions disappears, the economic race for customers and market share begins. In recent weeks, companies have had the opportunity to reflect and orient themselves. As soon as the restrictions for the general market disappear, it will become clear who has done their homework and which economic area can still afford subsidies.

    Hydrogen technology for retrofitting

    dynaCERT is the newcomer of the hydrogen scene, with a technology that has been awarded several prizes. The company has been working on the product launch of its innovation since 2019. The technology is called HydraGEN and can be offered to customers in different sizes. The size of the HydraGEN unit depends on the application, the larger the combustion engine, the larger the unit of dynaCERT for retrofitting.

    HydraGEN makes diesel green

    The advantage of HydraGEN is that the unit produces hydrogen from distilled water on demand and adds it to the diesel engine as a catalyst during the combustion process. This increases the efficiency of the engine and reduces fuel consumption by up to 20%. In addition, the emission of pollutants is significantly reduced. Measurements have shown a reduction in NOx of up to 88%. The emission of particulate matter is reduced by up to 55% and CO2 up to 10%.

    Well-known investors on board

    With dynaCERT's innovation, existing vehicles do not need to be replaced and the market is correspondingly large with around one billion diesel engines. One of the largest European automobile logistics companies has understood this. The Mosolf Group has been working closely with dynaCERT since last year and with the investment of Eric Sprott, who invested CAD 14 million in a financing round, another prominent market participant came on board.

    CEO Jim Payne introduced the company yesterday at the 29th MKK Conference from GBC AG and the presentation is available via the following link: webcasts.eqs.com/mkk2020dynacert/de

    Need for investment burdens expansion

    The Canadian company Ballard Power has been developing fuel cells for more than three decades to use hydrogen as an energy source without CO2 emissions. Ballard Power's solutions are now used in many areas of logistics and energy supply. Similar to the plant manufacturer NEL ASA, the customer or state must be willing to invest in order to realize the development of a hydrogen infrastructure.

    In Germany, there is already a filling station network for gasoline and diesel consisting of more than 14,000 branches. The construction of a comparable network with hydrogen would probably cost well over EUR 20 billion. However, a modern network alone is not enough; then customers will also need competitive vehicles with fuel cells.

    Catch-up potential for the newcomer

    Considering that the response to the Corona Pandemic has put a massive strain on the public sector budget, it can be assumed that the solution of dynaCERT, consisting of existing vehicles and the filling station network, will have a competitive advantage in the foreseeable future. Bottom line, however, any solution that contributes to environmental protection is good and important. In comparison, however, stock market valuations still differ, with Ballard Power valued at EUR 2.3 billion, dynaCERT at EUR 150 million and NEL ASA at EUR 1.5 billion. A possible catch-up potential is obvious.

    Forget Pure Diesel Engines: Nel ASA, dynaCERT, and Daimler Truck Offer Green Returns

    The logistics industry is set to undergo what is likely to be its most far-reaching structural transformation in 2026. As diesel prices have hit record highs and the CO₂-based truck toll takes full effect starting next year, new EU regulations are forcing freight carriers to radically rethink their strategies. The pressure on the transportation industry is immense, and this is precisely where a unique investment opportunity is emerging. Three players are addressing this challenge with strategically different yet perfectly coordinated approaches. Nel ASA is delivering the green infrastructure for tomorrow, dynaCERT offers the immediately effective bridge technology for today, and Daimler Truck is working on the production vehicle for the day after tomorrow to capitalize on the growing billion-dollar market.

    Global demand for computing power is growing rapidly, driven primarily by increasingly sophisticated applications in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). According to current forecasts by Gartner, the power required by data centers is expected to grow from 104 GW to 132 GW and even rise to around 290 GW by the end of the decade. As a result, energy supply is increasingly becoming a strategic factor, as electricity availability is increasingly limiting the expansion of new AI capacities. The major hyperscalers, in particular, are driving much of this growth and often rely on their own energy sources, such as gas turbines, rather than relying solely on public power grids. At the same time, a new, tech-driven investment cycle is emerging, as AI data centers require not only electricity but also cooling and energy-efficient hardware. The sector has been jolted awake, and prices have been rising for months. For investors, high share prices reflect tomorrow's challenges, so the momentum is likely to continue unabated. Here are a few ideas.

    BYD in Formula 1? Defence and drone ambitions at Daimler Truck, Mercedes, and HPQ Silicon

    Watch out for BYD! Is the Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer spreading itself too thin? In its home market, the price war is causing profits to plummet. At the same time, the company is lagging behind its own goals in its European expansion. There are problems in Turkey, the fast-charging network will cost billions, and whether the rumoured entry into Formula 1 makes sense is open to debate. In that light, HPQ Silicon's expansion seems more logical. After the company's new battery generation already impressed in drone tests, it has now unveiled an entire drone propulsion system with partner Novacium at Eurosatory 2026 in Paris. Daimler Truck and Mercedes are now also eyeing the defence sector. Will drones soon be taking off from the roof of the G-Class?
