Last week the shares of hydrogen companies were traded volatile. Profit-taking combined with the general panic on the stock markets caused sharp price losses. Those who have so far only watched from the sidelines can now enter the market. According to the motto: 'be greedy when others are fearful', investors have been able to take advantage of attractive entry prices in recent days. It is now becoming clear that central banks and governments are concertedly tackling the consequences of the current corona virus for the economy, and the DAX and DOW have already moved away from their lows.

    dynaCERT makes the diesel green

    dynaCERT is a Canadian company that has brought a hydrogen technology to production stage over the past 15 years that can be retrofitted to diesel engines. The advantage of this innovation is that that there is no need to replace the vehicle or build a costly infrastructure to use dynaCERT's units. The combustion of the diesel engine is improved by the company's technology and the efficiency is increased. The innovation is called HydraGEN and is available in different designs for all types of diesel engines. So, generators, locomotives, trains, large vehicles and passenger cars can be retrofitted with HydraGEN.

    The consumption of fuel is then reduced by up to 20% and on top of that, NOx emissions are reduced by up to 88%. Emissions of particulate matter are reduced by 55% and CO2 by up to 10%. There are around one billion diesel engines worldwide, a gigantic market for the company and its patented technology. On the stock exchange, dynaCERT is currently worth around EUR 209 million. The share price corrected from EUR 0.875 to EUR 0.535 in February 2020 and closed yesterday at EUR 0.63.

    Plug Power with focus on mobility

    The US company Plug Power offers various products related to the use of hydrogen as an energy carrier. The company offers fuel cells with engines on the one hand, but can also offer hydrogen filling stations for the expansion of the infrastructure. In total, Plug Power has already produced more than 29,000 fuel cells and set up more than 80 filling stations. On average, 22 tons of hydrogen are used per day, making the company and its customers the largest user of the energy carrier in North America, according to its own website.

    When using hydrogen as an energy carrier, it is important to note, in the context of the CO2 footprint, that even the energy used to produce hydrogen is climate-neutral, otherwise it would merely be a relocation of exhaust emissions. A major advantage of Plug Power's hydrogen technologies is the elimination of lead-acid batteries. The market value of the company is EUR 1.28 billion. In the previous month, the shares went from EUR 5.91 to EUR 3.16 and yesterday they were trading at EUR 4.27 again.

The company has developed solutions that can be used in both stationary and mobile applications. Customers have the advantage that the modular design of the products allows them to individually adjust the power requirements.

    PowerCell Sweden was founded in 2008 as a spin-out from the Volvo Group. Meanwhile, the company's technology is used in a wide range of applications in stationary operation in the energy supply of solar houses, in the transport industry, by sea and in logistics.

    Three Stocks with Potential: SAP, HPQ Silicon, and ARM Holdings in the Spotlight

    • Silicon

    The markets are currently being thrown into turmoil. The hardest hit are, above all, those high-fliers that had recently benefited from the AI boom. Apparently, it was time for some investors to take some profits. The Federal Reserve has now added to the uncertainty. Although it left key interest rates unchanged, the statements by new Chairman Kevin Warsh were not well received by the markets at first. US bond yields rose significantly, making it more expensive to finance Washington's budget deficit. The market fears that the Fed's inaction could lead to significantly higher inflation. The fact that oil infrastructure is currently being destroyed on a large scale in the Middle East, as well as in Ukraine and Russia, can certainly be viewed as an additional negative factor. However, it is always worth keeping an eye on the big picture in the stock markets. The Nasdaq is now 11% below its high, but the S&P 500's gain for the calendar year remains a very solid +8.5%. Therefore, in such market phases, it is worth keeping an eye out for attractive stocks that have the potential for a rebound. That is why we are taking a look today at the stocks of SAP, HPQ Silicon, and ARM Holdings.

    Hydrogen Shake-Up: How NEL and Plug Power Are Streamlining Their Operations as dynaCERT Enters a Pivotal Phase

    • Hydrogen
    • cleantech
    • greenhydrogen

    When heavy-duty trucks and massive mining equipment operate at full capacity for hours on end, they burn vast amounts of fossil fuels. While the energy and industrial sectors continue to push the transition towards cleaner alternatives, at least judging by media coverage, challenging conditions in the mining industry, high interest rates and economic uncertainty continue to delay many ambitious climate projects. Companies that are unable or unwilling to make large-scale investments are therefore looking for transitional solutions that can reduce operating costs while at least partially lowering emissions. We take a closer look at three companies that are well positioned to benefit from this trend.
