BYD, Altech Advanced Materials, Standard Lithium - Battle for pole position
Germany is not the only country where the energy turnaround is at the top of the political agenda. Achieving climate neutrality in the transport sector by 2045 is a particular challenge. After all, according to the Federal Environment Agency, the sector is responsible for around 20% of total greenhouse gas emissions. In the passenger car sector, both the automotive industry and politicians are focusing on battery technology. As a result, a battle has broken out between electric car manufacturers for the longest ranges and shortest charging times. Young companies with innovative technologies are flocking to the market and could become the new stock market stars soon.

Edison Lithium, Standard Lithium, Varta - Winners of the lithium shortage!
Electromobility is only at the beginning of enormous growth. The primary beneficiaries are companies that produce or are on the way to producing the imperative raw materials such as lithium, cobalt, copper and nickel. Demand is significantly outstripping supply, with an increasing tightening. As a result, commodity prices are rising, and so are producers' profits.

Barrick Gold, Standard Lithium, Alerio Gold: Commodity stocks after the crash
Lithium and gold stocks have little in common at first glance. The lithium sector has undergone a severe correction in recent weeks. Albemarle, for example, has lost around 30% in value. In the case of the 2021 investor darling, Standard Lithium, it was almost 50%. What lasted only a few weeks in the case of lithium has dragged on for months in the case of gold shares. Again, industry heavyweights like Barrick Gold and young producers like Alerio Gold are trading well below their highs. And this brings us to the common thread. Both lithium and gold stocks appear ripe for a rebound. The lithium price is trading near all-time highs, and gold is trading back above USD 1,800. In addition, Barrick has released top numbers. Alerio Gold and Standard Lithium are also worth a closer look.

Siemens Energy, Nordex, Noram Lithium, Standard Lithium - After the crash, new hype ahead?
Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time. In order to jointly achieve the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement, a reduction of CO2 emissions in the transport sector is necessary. A significant contribution is being generated in the shift to e-mobility. Manufacturers in Europe and Asia are countering the industry leader Tesla with high double-digit billion sums for research and development. With 350,000 electric vehicles sold in Germany, 2021 will be a new record year for the industry. In 2022, experts estimate that there will be 450,000 plus hybrids. However, the green plans of the traffic light government require 1.6 million electric vehicles per year. Where are the opportunities lurking for climate-oriented investors?

Standard Lithium, Noram Lithium, American Lithium - Mega Demand, Mega Opportunity
The US added lithium to its list of critical minerals back in 2017. Due to the ever-increasing emergence of electric vehicles, which is tantamount to a revolution in the automotive industry, the price of lithium increased massively in 2021. Current production capacities are not sufficient to satisfy the growing lithium hunger. In addition, China dominates the global supply chain. If independence is desired, the rest of the world will have to build capacity itself. According to experts, North America could become a competitor. So today, we look at three lithium companies from the region.

Gazprom, Almonty Industries, Standard Lithium - Investing in commodities with high demand
2021 was the year of skyrocketing commodity prices. Many different factors played a role. One, of course, was the Corona pandemic, which caused many companies to cut back on production. As the economy recovered faster than expected, markets were undersupplied. In addition, there were supply chain difficulties, natural disasters, and export restrictions, and this is where some of the dependencies on China became apparent. Currently, too little magnesium is being produced because the Middle Kingdom is suffering from electricity shortages. Today we look at three commodity producers for which we expect demand to remain high in 2022.

Standard Lithium, Manganese X Energy, Daimler Truck - The future of the battery
Electric cars would never have existed with the conventional lead-acid batteries popularly used in remote controls and the like. The development only became possible with the invention of lithium-ion batteries, which can be charged much more often and thus significantly increase battery life. The advantage of electric mobility is emission-free driving. The disadvantage is longer refueling times, shorter range and the need for lithium and other rare raw materials, such as manganese. It is precisely the batteries that make electromobility so expensive. It is not for nothing that Tesla is trying to push the price down to under USD 100 per kilowatt-hour. Experts expect that the prices of internal combustion and e-cars will then converge.

Standard Lithium, Altech Advanced Materials, BASF - The super battery for 2022!
Whether e-mobility, aircraft technology or renewable energies, virtually all high-tech segments are looking for a suitable energy storage device. The development driver is climate protection, which will put mobility and energy generation and distribution on a new footing in the future. More environmentally friendly battery production processes are required to bring e-mobility to a level of efficiency similar to the most modern diesel technology, as well as a significant increase in performance with a simultaneous extension of service life. After all, what good is it if a vehicle eliminates emissions during operation but creates multiple pollutions during production and disposal of the energy cell? We highlight some of the companies at the heart of the technical revolution.

Standard Lithium, Defense Metals, Nordex - The demand for metals goes through the roof!
A possible explosion in raw material prices was already indicated in 2019. Due to low selling prices, some mining companies even reduced their mining output or stopped their exploration activities. Then came the pandemic, which put further pressure on both production and logistics, and many operations had to close for longer than expected due to adjustments in sanitation infrastructure. There is now also the supply chain problem in this already tight supply situation. Presumably, things will not get any easier in 2022 under these conditions. Which companies are making a name for themselves in this environment?

Nordex, Osino Resources, Standard Lithium: Politics as a guarantor of returns
The markets have recovered a little after the Omicron shock. However, uncertainty remains. So how to invest? Investors can look to intact major trends that are also supported by politics. This approach could create a kind of risk buffer for turbulent times. We explain what lies behind this approach and present three possible investments as examples.
