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.

Hydrogen vision or greenwashing? Amazon, First Hydrogen, Plug Power
Nowadays, various sustainability projects are under criticism, for example, when companies invest in forests to offset their CO2 emissions. Even the EU Commission has been accused of greenwashing following its decision to classify natural gas as sustainable. The critical discourse that has now been initiated could put many companies under scrutiny. We explain where sustainability is just PR and where the hydrogen vision can become a reality.

Nel ASA, First Hydrogen, Landi Renzo, Plug Power - Hydrogen: The 2nd row is booming
For climate protection and a secure energy supply, the Western world must become independent of fossil fuels. Hydrogen plays a key role in climate change as a substitute for natural gas, oil, and coal. Despite programs worth billions of euros from politicians and excellent prospects for the future, the largest companies in the hydrogen and fuel sector, such as Nel ASA and Plug Power, are still undergoing a profound correction. In contrast, it is mainly second-tier companies attracting attention that could catch up soon based on their technology.

Shares ready for takeoff: Nel, Plug Power, BASF, Almonty Industries
The New Year rally is on! The Nel share has gained around 20% since New Year's Eve. There was a tailwind from Federal Minister of Economics Robert Habeck, including a major order from Germany. Analysts see further upside potential. This also applies to BASF. A US analyst sees an opportunity for a good 30% price gain for the chemical giant. BASF should benefit from the current sharp decline in gas prices. The agricultural boom is also playing into the DAX company's hands. Almonty Industries wants to benefit even more from the boom in electric mobility in the future. To this end, the Group intends to become one of the leading tungsten producers. The mega-mine in South Korea is scheduled to go into operation in the current year, 2023. Financing by the German KfW has been secured, and analysts see a share price potential of over 100%.

Hydrogen versus oil and gas in 2023 - Uniper, Saturn Oil + Gas, Nel ASA, Plug Power? The 150% chance!
The example of Uniper shows how quickly a misguided energy policy can backfire. For years, the German government had relied on cheap gas from Russia, even co-financing a brand-new pipeline, but then came the political end. With the Ukraine war, the eastern gas source dried up, and several billion euros invested in destroyed pipelines will never be seen again. Uniper, the biggest gas importer, had to be saved from bankruptcy. In addition to the sharp rise in supply costs, the German citizen now has to bear the additional debt of almost EUR 50 billion for the Uniper bailout. It could not have come at a worse time. Who are the secret winners?

Nel ASA, dynaCERT, Plug Power - The future of sustainable energy is now!
The hydrogen market is an integral part of the energy transition, as hydrogen is a clean alternative to fossil fuels. A wide range of applications are possible with hydrogen. Now that Germany is giving up Russian gas, independence from other gas suppliers is also the goal. Saxony-Anhalt's Chairman of the Conference of Energy Ministers, Armin Willingmann, is therefore calling for the industrial production of green hydrogen. With the expansion of renewable energies, the storage of surplus electricity as green hydrogen is a sensible solution. We, therefore, take a look at three companies that have developed their products around hydrogen.

Goodbye Tesla shares - Now bet on the hydrogen rally 2023: Plug Power, First Hydrogen, Nel, Ballard Power
Tesla is experiencing a continued decline in demand in China. According to internal plans, the assembly lines at the production site in Shanghai will be at a standstill for almost two weeks in January. The US electric carmaker plans to produce at its main factory at the beginning of 2023 only, from January 3 to 19. Around the Chinese New Year, Tesla will stop the assembly lines. Tesla did not give an official reason for the surprising break. The Company, founded by Elon Musk, has yet to respond to press requests to comment on the production cuts after Christmas. The share has now lost 40% in 4 weeks and continues to go down unchecked. Last Saturday, Tesla had already largely stopped production in Shanghai for the rest of the year. The prospects for electric car makers are clearly darkening, and we look to alternatives such as hydrogen.

Hydrogen shares - Environmental technology to take off in 2023: Plug Power, dynaCERT, ThyssenKrupp and Uniper
As we look ahead into the new year 2023, hydrogen technology could positively contribute to the energy transition for the first time. The key factors are the stroke rate, the price and the quantity that can be generated in an environmentally friendly manner to industrial standards. Plug Power, one of the market leaders in modern fuel cell systems, will bring H2 technology to market in large-scale production. Canada's dynaCERT is already delivering good H2 augmentation systems, and Germany could once again become an engineering hub. Where are the opportunities for investors?

E-car boom in Germany: BYD, Plug Power and dynaCERT are profiteers of the energy transition
The trend toward e-cars continues. In November 2022, 260,512 passenger cars were newly registered in Germany (source: kba.de). That represents an increase of 31% compared to the previous year. New registrations of electric passenger cars (BEV) increased disproportionately by 44% to 57,980 units. Significantly, Tesla's Model 3 was the most-registered car in the mid-size segment, while the Porsche Taycan was the most-registered car in the luxury segment - across all drive types. The trend toward electromobility should continue in the coming year. That is also when BYD plans to shake up the market in Europe. As a result, the excitement for shareholders is rising. The same applies to Plug Power and dynaCERT. Both are facing milestones in 2023 that should catapult share prices to new heights.

Plug Power, dynaCERT, Nel ASA - The tension rises
Hydrogen is a central building block for the energy transition and is considered the key to the successful decarbonization of the economy and the transport sector. Despite policy support programs for hydrogen strategies worldwide and the positive outlook for the future, companies listed on the stock exchange are still stuck in the correction. The final breakthrough could still take decades. On the other hand, bridging technologies benefit from the protracted implementation and can be used immediately in a wide range of industries.
