Daimler Truck, dynaCERT, Plug Power – There is hope for hydrogen
Hydrogen technology faces similar challenges to electromobility. Yet, there are reasons for hope. It is not necessarily a choice between electric or hydrogen; a combination of both is possible, as demonstrated by the introduction of ultra-fast fuel cell charging stations for electric vehicles. In parallel, the German government is promoting this green revolution, supported by pioneering industry events such as ACHEMA 2024. Companies like Enapter AG are celebrating remarkable revenue increases. Everyone agrees on one thing: the environment must be protected. Solutions will be showcased at the upcoming IAA Transportation in Hanover and the 9th Supplier Marketplace Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology in Berlin.

Globex Mining, Bayer, and Plug Power - Which company offers the best return with low risk?
Investors understand the interplay between risk and return. Which sectors offer high returns? The Canadian commodities company Globex Mining skillfully balances risk and return in the commodities sector with its diversified portfolio of over 200 commodities projects in North America and Europe. Its setup is akin to a mini-version of Berkshire Hathaway. Bayer AG is tapping into new growth opportunities in the pharmaceuticals sector with its Phase III study for a lung cancer drug. This is much needed as numerous patents are expiring. Plug Power, a pioneer in hydrogen technology is putting all its eggs in one basket - with the potential for huge profits but also considerable losses, as evidenced by the share price plunge from USD 70 in 2021 to currently below USD 3 shows. Which company offers the best return with low risk?

Plug Power, First Hydrogen, thyssenkrupp nucera - Could multiples like in the dot-com era be possible?
The current hydrogen industry is strongly reminiscent of the dot-com era: back then, many internet stocks were considered temporary flops, but some survived and prospered, with Amazon being a prime example. When the dot-com bubble burst, Amazon emerged stronger and became a global economic giant. Similarly, just as there were skeptics about the long-term success of early internet companies, today there are doubts about the long-term viability of hydrogen technology. However, history teaches us that in the midst of many failures, some standout players can emerge that revolutionize the industry and create long-term value. We look at three possible candidates.

The world keeps turning! Caution with VW, Mercedes, Altech Advanced Materials, Plug Power, and Nel ASA!
E-mobility and the upstream battery market are making headlines. Following the abolition of tax incentives, the topic of "electric mobility" has to face up to the harsh market conditions. Hydrogen is also competing, but it is currently still far too expensive to be economically successful. This leaves us with battery technologies, which are used both in energy storage systems and in vehicles. The near bankruptcy of Varta shows how tough the market has become here. There is plenty of room for innovative ideas! Altech Advanced Materials is making waves in German engineering with solid concepts. The market eagerly awaits the first mid-sized products, while many other market players must first justify their billion-dollar valuations. We take a closer look.

Daimler Truck, dynaCERT, Plug Power - Electric on the decline! Is this the hour of hydrogen?
In recent years, electromobility has been regarded as the undisputed driving force behind the global transport revolution. However, recent developments paint a different picture: stagnating sales figures and growing challenges in the supply of raw materials raise the question of whether the era of electric vehicles has reached its peak. As a result, the focus is shifting to another alternative drive system: hydrogen. With increased investment and technological advances in the hydrogen sector, the question arises as to whether the time has come for hydrogen as an energy source to experience its major breakthrough and win the race for sustainable mobility.

Hydrogen sector receives EU billions: Nel, Plug Power, First Hydrogen share!
Governments love green hydrogen. The EU alone plans to spend over EUR 40 billion by 2030 to decarbonize the energy sector. This includes making steel production, heating operations, and combustion engines CO₂-neutral. Additionally, hydrogen can be used to store surplus renewable energy from solar and wind sources. When the Federal Audit Office recently criticized the slow expansion, the EU reaffirmed its targets. Therefore, the pace of expansion should be stepped up, and companies such as Nel and Plug Power - where tomorrow will be exciting - and First Hydrogen want to benefit from this. While the two heavyweights from Norway and the US are unable to get their losses under control and are still highly valued, the newcomer First Hydrogen may be entering the market at just the right time.

Here we go! Olympic 250% with hydrogen! Nel, Plug Power, First Hydrogen, thyssenkrupp and nucera
Olympia goes Hydrogen! Japanese car manufacturer Toyota is providing a fleet of 500 Mirai hydrogen vehicles, 10 hydrogen buses, and 1,150 electric vehicles for the Olympic Games in Paris. Although hydrogen vehicles, such as the Toyota Mirai, produce virtually no emissions, 96% of the hydrogen produced worldwide still comes from fossil fuels such as methane gas. As a result, most hydrogen vehicles currently cause significantly more pollution than battery-powered electric vehicles and are only marginally cleaner than conventional combustion engines. However, there are notable exceptions: First Hydrogen is demonstrating how things could work in the future with the EU's 'Net Zero 2050' target!

Plug Power, Carbon Done Right, BASF: Raising capital, climate protection projects, and cost optimization for returns
The energy sector is undergoing radical change, with far-reaching consequences for companies across various sectors. The hydrogen specialist Plug Power is struggling with financial bottlenecks despite state subsidies and has to carry out a capital increase on unfavourable terms. The sustainability company Carbon Done Right reports initial successes with its reforestation project in Sierra Leone. The Canadians are thus further establishing themselves in the growing market for CO₂ certificates. The chemical and agricultural company BASF is responding to the changing conditions in Germany by closing plants. The energy transition requires not only technological innovations but also new business models and flexible adaptation strategies. Which of the three companies will win the race this time?

Plug Power, Saturn Oil + Gas, RWE - Which energy belongs in the portfolio?
The debate about the ideal energy source for the future focuses on hydrogen, oil, and renewable energies. Despite its controversial reputation, oil remains a significant energy source due to its high energy density and well-established infrastructure. Technological advances are also reducing the negative environmental impact. However, renewable energies and hydrogen also offer significant advantages, such as sustainability and low emissions. However, there is a lack of infrastructure to fully exploit the advantages of these technologies. We examine one candidate from each sector and where they stand today.

Top energy transition shares: 100% returns through CO2 reduction! Nel ASA, Plug Power, Carbon Done Right, and dynaCERT
Heat records, floods, and energy shortages! This summer, all climate change issues are on the table. Since the nuclear power plants were shut down, Germany has lacked a reliable base load power supply. Pronounced grid weaknesses are increasing, with no improvement in sight. Economics Minister Habeck wants to build gas-fired power plants as quickly as possible, which can later be operated with hydrogen. Nice idea! Meanwhile, Berlin's economic experts are buying French nuclear power to fill existing gaps. Nobody can scientifically prove the difference in climate technology between here and there, but German consumers are happy to pay for this nonsense through their electricity bills. This is how EU energy policy works. Since expenses are continuously rising, we focus on increasing revenue streams. Here are some ideas for your energy portfolio.
