Allkem, Grid Metals, Rock Tech Lithium - Gigantic movements
It is called the white gold. Lithium-ion batteries are currently the most widely used energy storage devices in electric vehicles. The soft alkali metal offers high specific energy, which means it can store a lot of energy per unit weight, which enables electric vehicles to have a greater range. Due to the growing demand resulting from the transformation in the transport sector, there is a disproportionate demand for the critical raw material. Supply, on the other hand, is severely limited.

Plug Power, Almonty Industries, Rock Tech Lithium - Exploiting shortages
The Ukraine conflict has shown how dependent Europe is on Russian energy exports. In the future, green hydrogen should close this gap. However, the dependence of Western countries is not limited to the energy market. There are several critical raw materials for which the majority of the supply comes from China. Rare earths and tungsten are particularly noteworthy. Tensions between the US and China are increasing due to the Taiwan dispute and the activities of the BRICS countries. There are also shortages of refined lithium in electromobility, i.e. lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide. If investors want to profit from these shortages, they should bet on companies that are not caught between the fronts.

Defense Metals, Rock Tech Lithium, BYD - Shares for the energy transition
The energy transition is a major challenge for the world, as it requires transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy. In order to switch to renewable energies in the long term, large quantities of critical raw materials such as rare earths and lithium are needed. However, these raw materials are important not only for the energy transition but also for numerous other applications in modern industry. Rare earths are particularly important for the production of powerful magnets used in electric motors and generators. Lithium, on the other hand, is an essential component of lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles and renewable energy storage. Today, we look at three companies that can help drive the energy transition.

K+S, Tocvan Ventures, Rock Tech Lithium - Shares with doubling potential
On February 22, the meeting of the US Federal Reserve FED will take place. The results are eagerly awaited, as economic data have recently been mixed and difficult to interpret. The Consumer Confidence Index recently climbed significantly. However, since inflation has fallen less than expected, this could point to another interest rate hike. Rising interest rates are bad for the equity markets, as some investors may prefer to put their money into US government bonds. Regardless of the news, some stocks offer great potential at current levels. We take a closer look at three of these stocks today.

Auxico Resources, Rheinmetall, Rock Tech Lithium - Important news
Fears of a global recession are still pervasive, and commodity prices are at moderate levels after the sell-off of recent months. In contrast, the price of lithium remains high. The reason is the continued strong demand from the electric car industry. However, the existing supply of lithium resources is scarce. The primary beneficiaries of this shortage, in addition to existing producers, are exploration companies that have already secured attractive properties. A similar phenomenon is occurring now with the critical commodity of rare earth metals.

Power Nickel, Rock Tech Lithium, BYD - Race to secure critical raw materials
Since the major car manufacturers decided to equip their cars with electric drives, the demand for certain raw materials has skyrocketed. The result has been a sharp rise in prices. Some of the most important raw materials needed for the production of electric cars include lithium, cobalt and nickel. At the G20 summit in Bali, Indonesia, the world's largest nickel producer proposed to the Canadians that they set up an organization similar to OPEC for nickel. Such moves are a sign that the battle for key EV commodities is growing. So today, we look at one nickel and one lithium company and see how the battery and electric car maker BYD is positioning itself.

Profit now from the energy transition - Rock Tech Lithium, Power Nickel, Shell
In the past, the internal combustion engine was at the center of the automotive industry, but this is now to change as quickly as possible in order to achieve the specified climate targets. Electrification is the magic word. However, there are high hurdles to overcome in implementing this. For example, it is still not certain whether the battery metals required for this, such as lithium, cobalt, copper and nickel, are available in sufficient quantities. Demand for the critical metals already exceeds supply. The beneficiaries are undoubtedly the producers of the scarce goods.

The second Rock Tech Lithium? This is how Mercedes-Benz profits! Jack of all trades Infinity Stone Ventures
Anyone who has followed analysts' reports on lithium over the past few years knew that the price of this critical raw material for batteries was about to rise exponentially, reminiscent of the gloomiest forecasts of the pandemic - only extremely positively. Putting the actual price curve next to it shows that lithium has shot up almost vertically in recent years and has already reached the level of the 2030 forecasts. Using three stocks as examples, we outline what this means and how investors can take advantage of this market anomaly.

BYD, Infinity Stone Ventures, Rock Tech Lithium - Profiteers of the energy transition
Electromobility plays a central role in achieving the ambitious goal of climate neutrality by 2050. Despite current production difficulties in the automotive industry due to the ongoing chip shortage, global supply chain problems and the effects of the war in Ukraine, demand for battery-powered vehicles continues unabated worldwide, as can be seen from the sales figures of electric car manufacturers. However, there is a problem here: the critical raw material lithium is already becoming scarce for the production of electric batteries. As a result, the already high prices are likely to rise further in the long term - to the advantage of the lithium producers.

Rock Tech Lithium, TubeSolar, JinkoSolar - Breakthroughs in green innovation
The European Commission plans to reduce CO2 emissions by at least 55% by 2030 compared to 1990. This ambitious target for the current decade should lead to steady progress on the EU's path to climate neutrality by 2050. The key to achieving the climate turnaround is to increase the share of renewables in the overall energy mix. This should contribute at least 32% in around 8 years. But what sounds simple in theory is all the more difficult to implement in practice. That is because, in addition to raw materials that are already in short supply, there is a lack of open space for solar energy. Nevertheless, young companies, in particular, are achieving breakthroughs through innovation, which should be reflected in increased company values in the future.
