Nordex, Saturn Oil + Gas, Varta: In search of energy multipliers
The energy transition is a megatrend. The consequences of it are complex and affect almost every industry. Did you know that the BASF plant in Ludwigshafen alone needs as much electricity as Denmark? It is no wonder that the shift from fossil to renewable energy sources will not happen overnight. We look at three stocks and classify their role in the energy transition. This much is already clear: Sometimes, opportunities lurk off the beaten track.

Nevada Copper, Varta, Aumann - Catching up!
Electromobility is inextricably linked with raw materials such as copper and lithium. The demand for e-cars and batteries is increasing enormously. This megatrend is also pulling up the relevant raw material prices. How can investors profit from this development, and which of the three stocks has the best opportunities in the coming year?

Varta, Manganese X Energy, Nordex, Siemens Energy: This could be a crash à la Tesla!
Climate protection, green energy & mobility and digital infrastructure were the hype topics of the bull market year 2021. Price developments like in the current year were last seen during the 2000 tech bubble. Higher, bigger, faster, further - the Olympic concert consistently brought double- to triple-digit price gains until the US Thanksgiving, some shares from the hydrogen sector even managed the magic 1000% hurdle. Now, however, inflation rates have risen sharply in parallel, and the virus, which had fallen into the background, is suddenly on everyone's lips again in a highly contagious variant called Omicron. How the stock markets will deal with this issue remains to be seen. We take a look at well-known protagonists from the green energy sector.

Varta, Graphano Energy, BYD, NIO: Who supplies the blockbuster battery?
There is no way around a high-performance battery when benchmarking for those who see electromobility at the forefront. In the last 3 years, there have been no real leaps forward in development. Still, at least power compression in lithium-ion technology achieved a doubling of range and, in parallel, also lowered the previously long charging times. As a result, this has made an electric vehicle suitable for long distances for the first time, even though recharging must be expected in winter due to non-engine services such as heating. But technological development continues, new materials are being tested, and one day it will be available - the super battery. We look at some industry players.

Leoni, Sierra Grande Minerals, Varta, Nordex - Critical raw materials, skyrocketing prices!
According to the active suggestions of many climate protectionists, we are all best off riding bicycles. Because the climate measures, in particular the CO2 taxes, will soon make movement with fossil fuels impossible. In October, the E10 fuel price reached the EUR 2.00 mark at some filling stations. As a result, 80% of the gasoline price target formulated by the Greens in the 1990s of 5 D-Marks has been achieved. Calculated on the oil price, a liter of refined fuel would only cost about EUR 0.60; the rest is made up of duties and taxes, as is well known. Interestingly, in the Federal Audit Office records, it is precisely the political climate protection protagonists who stand out with an impressive number of car trips and air miles. It seems that only some people are supposed to restrict themselves, while other more privileged groups enjoy a free ride. Is this the future of individual mobility?

Varta, Nevada Copper, BYD: Fast 100% with this future trend?
What does the future look like in German inner cities? If we take a survey of Hamburg residents as a blueprint, a lot will likely change in our cities very soon. Hamburgers would prefer to see their city centers car-free and promote electromobility even more strongly. So far, it is primarily city dwellers who are leaning toward the future. But as soon as e-cars paired with autonomous driving bring the surrounding areas closer to the centers, rural residents are also likely to renounce their diesel quickly. Don't believe it? Then let us convince you and find out how you can invest in tomorrow's trends today.

Volkswagen, Graphano Energy, Varta: Graphite as the new e-car hype?
The mobility revolution is turning the economy upside down. Where steel and components for classic transmissions once dominated, the future raw materials, such as lithium, rare earths and graphite, are now being used. We highlight the tidal shift in the automotive industry and present companies that could benefit from it.

BYD, Silver Viper, Varta: Is the discount battle for e-cars coming?
Experts, influencers and visionaries often hand out advance praise for years, but new technology often does not make it beyond the hip neighborhoods of Hamburg, Berlin or Munich. It is a different story with electromobility. Of course, anyone who commutes three-digit kilometers a day will still rely on diesel and may even have in mind the possibility of acquiring a modern annual car at a reasonable price in the foreseeable future. However, those who commute up to fifty kilometers and live in more densely populated areas often already opt for an e-car today. Fancy brands, such as Tesla and their affordable Model 3 journey, are doing the rest. We highlight three stocks that stand to benefit from the e-car breakthrough and ask whether the market is facing a discount battle.

Varta, Manganese X Energy, BYD - Batteries are becoming more and more important
Batteries have been around for a long time, but the old lead-acid batteries are gradually being replaced by lithium-ion batteries, which can be recharged much more often and thus have a much longer life. All these batteries require raw materials such as cobalt, nickel or manganese. The mining of cobalt does not have the best reputation, so Tesla has already reduced the proportion of cobalt. The alternative is called manganese, and this raw material is also absolutely needed by the steel industry. With the electrification of cars, demand will increase. The battle for the longest-lasting battery, greatest range and fastest charging capability is in full swing. We, therefore, take a look at three companies involved in batteries.

Varta, Manganese X Energy, Standard Lithium: Battle for the best battery!
Just after the general elections, it was back - the battery fantasy! Whatever the outcome of the formation of the government, all parties involved have shown a high level of commitment to sometimes drastic steps towards climate protection. Electromobility is becoming increasingly crucial for the energy transition in transport. And with it, the research, development and production of drives, batteries and components. In this context, suppliers of battery raw materials and product developers are enjoying a great deal of attention. The triumphant march of Tesla shares continues to pull on the entire sector. Which stocks are ahead?
