FREYR Battery, dynaCERT, BYD - Speed beats engineering and bureaucracy
The hunt is on for high-performance powertrains! Industry-experienced Canadian hydrogen technology company dynaCERT shines with a new collaboration with Cipher Neutron. Together they are creating an electrolyzer cell that will produce 28 times more hydrogen gas than conventional cells. FREYR Battery is also making progress with its battery gigafactories, but soon on the other side of the Atlantic due to tax advantages, as the domestic government in Norway seems too slow. Progress could be faster at Volkswagen. What good is German engineering when rival BYD is not only selling cars at a breathtaking speed but also securing battery production in China for the Company's own growth? We provide an overview.

Analysts euphoric - Varta, First Phosphate, Freyr Battery
Battery technology has made significant progress in recent years. Companies are investing heavily in research and development to create batteries with a more extended range, faster charging time and longer life. However, with the growing interest in electric vehicles, the demand for raw materials such as lithium, cobalt, nickel and phosphate is increasing enormously. The existing supply is already reaching its limits due to the high demand. Profiteers are the producers of the scarce goods.

Star Navigation Systems, AMD, Freyr Battery: Where high-tech stocks are shaping the future
This week, there was unrest over the Russian presidential palace in Moscow as two drones reportedly violated the airspace. This makes the monitoring and optimization of airspace even more critical. High-tech companies such as Star Navigation Systems are taking action precisely where Moscow seems to be cutting corners a little too much. Thanks to modern technology, real-time data can be analyzed, and responses can be made accordingly. High-tech also requires the necessary chip and cloud technologies. Investors were thus able to follow AMD's first results this year with excitement. Are they really ahead of their competitor NVIDIA? The latter company finds its use in the new partnership between FREYR Battery and Siemens.

Electromobility on the verge of a new era - Freyr Battery, First Phosphate, Nio
In recent years, electromobility has become increasingly important. This is due to the increased demand for environmentally friendly vehicles and the progress in battery technology, which enables a longer range and shorter charging times. The development of new battery technologies remains an essential factor for the future of the industry. Even more existential, however, is access to the raw materials needed, such as lithium, cobalt, nickel and phosphate.

Blackrock Silver, Amazon, FREYR Battery - Is now the time to get in?
The increasing demand for lithium in the fast-growing market for electric vehicles and electronic devices is helping to make the US state of Nevada a leader in the lithium industry with its abundant lithium deposits and favourable business climate. The exploration company Blackrock Silver has secured a lithium site there and is thus well-positioned for the unbroken demand for this raw material. The recently launched lithium-ion battery plant of FREYR Battery also proves the high demand. Another advantage for investors at FREYR Battery is already the more than 98% CO2-free production. This is exactly where Amazon seems to have a problem with its data centres in Oregon.

Altech Advanced Materials, Mercedes Benz, FREYR Battery - Stocks with longevity
The battery industry is currently experiencing a significant upswing, driven by the EU's plan to phase out combustion engines in twelve years. Companies like Altech Advanced Materials are working hard to improve conventional batteries' charging capacity. Mercedes-Benz is feeling the impact of losing its third-largest shareholder, demonstrating that German thoroughness is at odds with innovation. The Kuwaiti sovereign wealth fund has turned its back on the Stuttgart-based automaker, while Scandinavian battery producer FREYR Battery is currently doing much better. They have teamed up with four global players to explore strategic partnerships.

Manuka Resources, FREYR Battery, Alibaba - Silver demand accelerates globally, high pace is required
Global demand for silver and iron is being generated by both conventional industrial needs, such as construction and technology, and progress toward clean energy generation and related commodities, such as batteries and electric vehicles. Australia's Manuka Resources reports an impressive initial mineral resource of 3.2 billion tons grading 0.05% vanadium at its Taranaki VTM iron sands project in New Zealand. This contains 1.6 million tons of vanadium pentoxide (V2O5), making it one of the most extensive vanadium deposits in the world. Vanadium is used for the production of high-performance batteries. This is where FREYR Battery comes into play. The Norwegian company reported its quarterly results and is on schedule with the construction of its in-house battery production facility. Top dog Alibaba also scored a win, as special data on the Chinese market has investors sitting up and taking notice...

Raw materials revolution from Africa: K+S, Globex Mining, Freyr Battery
Lithium, cobalt or even manganese - what reads like the list of ingredients for the mobility and energy revolution is available in abundance in Africa. However, China has been a major player in Africa for years and was already investing heavily when Europe was still seeing golden times for combustion engines. In the meantime, however, that has changed: As Handelsblatt reports, more and more African countries want to do their own thing regarding raw materials and turn from exporters into processors - for the countries of Europe, this is an opportunity.

Freyr Battery, Auxico Resources, Plug Power - Rare earth battery boom in e-Mobility
One of Norway's largest financial services companies is increasing its equity stake in Plug Power, the US hydrogen fuel cell company. The reason: Nikola Motors has selected the Company to upgrade its new e-mobility fleet with clean fuel cells. Freyr Battery also has similar ambitions. Here, Impact Clean Power Technology, the Polish manufacturer of battery systems for heavy-duty vehicles, has signed an agreement with Freyr to purchase clean batteries. Both big deals have one thing in common: demand for rare earths and valuable metals to make green technologies a reality. That is where Auxico Resources, a mineral exploration company focused on Africa, comes in.

An explosive start to 2023 for GreenTech and battery shares - BASF, Manuka Resources, Freyr and Varta in turnaround
In 2023, international pressure to initiate the climate turnaround remains. One potential path is seen in e-mobility. Despite the enormous development efforts of the last 5 years, no battery solution has yet been launched that could match the performance characteristics of a last-generation diesel powertrain. Key characteristics here are cost and sustainability in manufacturing, range, lifetime and safety. Nevertheless, progress is being made in the chemical mix of battery components, and some companies are making a name for themselves here. We analyze the current status.
