NEL, dynaCERT, FuelCell Energy, Plug Power - How far will the hydrogen wave carry us?
The average temperature on Earth should rise by no more than 1.5 degrees Celsius over the next few decades. 190 countries agreed on this target in Paris in 2015. Since then, there have been four further world climate conferences. The fifth is now underway in Glasgow, Scotland, and is scheduled to end today, Nov. 12. It is not only the EU that is tightening its climate targets - around the globe, more and more countries are decarbonizing their economies. The topic of hydrogen is a rainmaker in this context. Here the question arises, when will it really start? According to the World Energy Council (WEC) analysis, at least 20 countries accounting for almost half of global economic output have already adopted a national hydrogen strategy or are at least close to doing so. We take a look at well-known protagonists.

NEL, Clean Logistics, Ballard Power, FuelCell Energy - Hydrogen in the third wave!
The hydrogen hype is entering its third wave. The price increase of fossil fuels increases the pressure to switch to alternative energies and new propulsion concepts. Governments around the world have therefore decided on rapid decarbonization. For the EU, the resolutions were already passed in 2020. In the USA, Joe Biden has now extended his environmental package to USD 1.5 billion. The market will decide whether battery or hydrogen technology will play a greater role here; the only important thing is quickly releasing the funds to finance the upcoming research projects. Time is pressing because the pandemic has put many industries on the sidelines. The transport industry, in particular, depends on the sale of goods, and in the future, this should occur without any negative environmental impact.

NEL, dynaCERT, Plug Power, FuelCell Energy - Hydrogen, the flagpole is broken!
Today, what a hype, one would say. Those who held their nerve in January and let reality prevail are not the ones who are surprised at the outcome today. Hydrogen was the stuff of dreams for a few weeks, but the barrel foamed over properly. After rises of up to 2500%, almost all H2 stocks went into the cellar. And how dynamic it was! In just 6 months, hydrogen stocks have lost up to 85% again. One wonders: can there be a second wave? The framework parameters are suitable, as both the EU and Joe Biden have agreed on more hydrogen within the climate targets. The only important thing is the exact design of the subsidies because it will probably not be possible without government orders!

FuelCell Energy, Saturn Oil + Gas, Gazprom - The Renaissance of fossil fuels
There is no question that Germany has already achieved a great deal in terms of climate protection. In 2020, about 45% of its electricity came from renewable sources. However, the goal of becoming greenhouse gas neutral by 2045 is still a long way off. For this plan to become a reality, wind power still needs to be expanded significantly. The first half of the current year shows that it will not be possible to do without fossil fuels in the coming years. According to calculations by the Federal Statistical Office, over 56% of the total 258.9 billion kWh of electricity generated in Germany came from conventional sources such as coal, natural gas and nuclear energy.

Nel ASA, Enapter, Plug Power, FuelCell Energy - It is time to go all out!
Hydrogen is not only a climate-friendly means of propulsion for automobiles and heavy-duty transport. Large industries such as chemicals and steel can use hydrogen technology to reduce their consumption of natural gas. There are costs involved when converting to hydrogen, most of which are only feasible with political support. The German government's national hydrogen strategy fits in well here. But medium-sized industries, especially energy-intensive sectors, could also become much more environmentally friendly with hydrogen-based technologies. Which stocks are well-positioned here?

First Hydrogen, Nel, Plug Power, FuelCell Energy - Is the next Hydrogen rally coming?
Hydrogen is repeatedly put forward as a solution for climate-neutral energy production. A strong distinction must be made for climate protection because only green hydrogen - produced from 100% renewable energy - is truly climate-friendly. Insufficient differentiation between hydrogen types has fatal consequences for the globe. In a recent study, scientists at the University of Standford in California prove that blue hydrogen, produced from natural gas in combination with the injection of the resulting CO2 through carbon capture-and-storage, actually has a significantly worse climate balance than the direct combustion of crude oil and natural gas. Significant methane gas emissions in production mainly cause this. Today we look at interesting values in the hydrogen environment.

NEL, dynaCERT, FuelCell Energy, Plug Power - Is hydrogen about to explode next?
Not only is the EU tightening its climate targets, but around the globe, more and more countries are decarbonizing their economies. The subject of hydrogen is providing the rainmaking impetus for discussion. Since the closing of ranks on e-mobility, however, it is no longer the focus of attention. However, according to the World Energy Council (WEC) analysis, at least 20 countries that account for almost half of global economic output have adopted a national hydrogen strategy or are at least close to doing so. Leading the way are Japan, France, South Korea, the Netherlands, Australia, Norway, Spain and Portugal. But Russia, China, Morocco and the USA are also working on their strategies. Australia and China are leading the way, while Europe and the Middle East are already doing a lot. We take a look at the premier league of H2 values.

Enapter, NEL, Plug Power, FuelCell - Hydrogen under cross-examination!
The sharp rise in prices for heating energy and fuels keeps Germany's inflation rate at a high level. With an increase of 2.3% compared to the same month last year, inflation slowed slightly in June, but it had risen in each of the previous five months, reaching 2.5% in May, the highest level in almost 10 years. The efficient production of hydrogen and its industrial utilization would make our energy supply affordable and environmentally sustainable in the long term. Unfortunately, current technologies are still costly and not suitable for mass production. However, hydrogen remains a hot topic on the stock market. We take a look at the main actors in the H2 thriller.

FuelCell, NEL, Enapter - Hydrogen on the rise again!
It was quiet around the hydrogen stocks for a few months. Although we see high stock market turnover, the prices tended to move sideways. Yesterday there was good quarterly news from Plug Power, sales are increasing, but the loss continued to grow because of their high investment costs. The whole industry was caught in the downward trend, but in the last 4 weeks, there was a small revival of the stocks. The independent research organization SINTEF from Norway forecasts a massive market for hydrogen with a demand of over 100 million tons by 2050. We take a brief look at the protagonists' cards.

NEL, Plug Power, FuelCell, dynaCERT: Hydrogen stocks - is there a comeback?
At the start of the year, they were the hit stocks - the hydrogen stocks. The expectation was that governments would heavily subsidize hydrogen alongside electromobility to help another green alternative to the internal combustion engine get off the ground. The idea was good but failed on only one point: battery-powered vehicles already exist in large numbers, but H2 vehicles suitable for mass production do not yet exist. With a lack of products, no tax rebates or the like can be granted either. So today, the private consumer can only choose one green technology, the electric or hybrid drive. Is there still a future for hydrogen values?
