The awareness of protecting the environment and therefore reducing emissions is becoming more and more prevalent in society. Numerous industries are growing in the wake of socially, politically and fiscally motivated changes and demand sustainable products or solutions. "Green" investment has many facets. In the following, we present three companies that are dedicated to the topics of emission reduction and renewable energies. In the past, these stocks have been able to outperform the broad market enormously. Where is this trend continuing unabated?

    ENCAVIS AG - slight profit-taking after doubling in price

    Encavis produces electricity exclusively from renewable energies and is now one of the larger independent electricity producers. The Company's many years of profitable growth are also reflected, among other things, in a market capitalization of EUR 3.1 billion and a shareholder-friendly dividend policy.

    A few days ago, the SDAX-listed Group received another accolade for its sustainable corporate policy. The rating agency MSCI raised the Company's sustainability rating from A to AA. A few weeks ago, another agency, ISS ESG, had already raised the B- to a B rating.

    Shareholders of the Hamburg-based Group cannot complain given a doubling of the share price within the last 12 months. In the last few days, the share price fell by just under 10% from its recently reached all-time high of EUR 25. A consolidation of the title is not a significant blow. The analysts at Hauck & Aufhäuser, who initiated coverage of the stock at the beginning of the month with a "hold" rating and a price target of EUR 23, probably take a similar view. We are convinced that the growth prospects should soon be reflected in higher price targets.

    DYNACERT INC - Analysts expect the share price to triple!

    The share of dynaCERT has gained almost 50% in the last 4 weeks. If you believe the analysts of the research company GBC, then the share can still triple from the current price level of CAD 0.70 and a market capitalization of about CAD 270 million.

    The Canadian cleantech Company kills two birds with one stone with its patented hydrogen technology solutions for retrofitting diesel engines: fuel consumption and pollutant emissions can be reduced by 20% each.

    The proof of concept has already been provided several times. The technology is already being used in many vehicles, including vehicle fleets. However, the Company offers another added value for customers. The Canadians have developed their own software to measure and optimize fuel consumption. Soon, the Company will expand the solution to include additional functionalities. The advantages of the dynaCERT solutions are straightforward and promise further rising prices. Whether the CAD 2 mark can also be cracked soon remains to be seen.

    VERBIO VEREINIGTE BIOENERGIE AG - Sell on good news

    Verbio is one of the leading independent bioenergy producers in Europe and the only large-scale industrial producer of biodiesel, bioethanol, and biomethane. These green fuels can save around 90% of the CO2 emissions produced by conventional fuels. The Company is rooted in eastern Germany and employs about 700 people across the Group, including its foreign subsidiaries in India, the US, Canada, Poland and Hungary.

    Last week, the Group published good half-year figures. Sales increased by 10% to EUR 479 million and earnings rose at an enormously disproportionate rate. Operationally, earnings (EBITDA) grew by 49% to EUR 80 million. Earnings per share rose from EUR 0.40 to EUR 0.70. Investors took advantage of the good news to take profits. The share price fell by around 15% in the last few days.

    The Group's growth prospects are intact. The production plants for bioethanol and biodiesel have shown good capacity utilization in recent months. Verbio intends to start up biomethane plants in the USA and India this fall.

    Which Share to Buy Now? Nordex with Strong Order Intake, Verbio Impresses at the CMD and Zefiro Methane Could Multiply in Value!

    • Energy
    • Oil Industry
    • Environmental Protection
    • ESG
    • Bioethanol

    Created and published on behalf of Zefiro Methane Corp.

    Should investors buy Nordex shares now? The wind turbine manufacturer surprised the market yesterday with strong order intake, potentially setting the stage for a new rally. There are also compelling reasons for a potential rally at Zefiro Methane. The company has just reported record figures and offers significant growth potential. Analysts see more than 200% upside, yet the share price has not yet reacted. Verbio shares, meanwhile, remain in a downtrend, despite the company being considered a beneficiary of high petrol prices. Attention is now focused on its US operations. Analysts were impressed by the company's recent Capital Markets Day and recommend buying Verbio shares.

    Drill Deep, Plug Wells, Manage Risk: How Daldrup, Zefiro and Munich Re Make Money from Climate Protection

    • Climate Change
    • Environmental Protection
    • Oil and Gas
    • Daldrup & Söhne
    • Zefiro Methane
    • Munich Re

    Created and Published on Behalf of Zefiro Methane Corp.

    What was long considered a quiet environmental problem is growing into a market whose size in the United States alone is estimated at up to USD 280 billion. In Germany, thousands of abandoned oil and gas wells lie in the ground, while in the US there are millions. Many pollute the atmosphere with methane, a climate-killing gas. For drilling services provider Daldrup & Söhne, plugging old wells represents a new business line, although growth is being driven primarily by the geothermal energy boom. Canadian specialist Zefiro Methane, by contrast, focuses entirely on the remediation of orphaned wells in the US and generates additional revenue from CO₂ credits. Munich Re is active in both markets.

    dynaCERT, NEL, Plug Power - Who is working for climate targets?

    • Environmental Protection

    The goal of reducing CO2 emissions by 55% by 2030 is Germany's contribution to the Paris Climate Agreement. The aim is to limit global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius by the end of this century - if possible, even to 1.5 degrees Celsius. To achieve this, emissions of greenhouse gases, i.e., primarily carbon dioxide (CO2), must fall significantly. So far, Germany is among the pioneers, having reduced emissions by around 31% between 1990 and 2018. A good start, but it is still far from enough. With Brazil, Australia and the USA, the leaders of significant countries, unfortunately, gave the rest of the world the cold shoulder. But the engineers of future technology do not care about the pronouncements from politics. They continue to research, for example, in Canada, Scandinavia and the USA - because the essential course settings happen now or never!
