NEL ASA, Saturn Oil & Gas, VARTA - which energy share is the best?

  • Energy

Energy sources and storage facilities are topics of the present and future. The more modern a society is, the higher the priority of cleanliness and moral innocuousness. Mobility in rich countries is undergoing change. In conurbations, the aim is increasingly being pursued to electrify motorised transport. Electricity flows into the grid from predominantly nuclear power plants as well as power plants using fossil fuels and can be used to produce hydrogen as an energy storage medium or to charge batteries. The share of electricity from renewable energies has increased worldwide from 18.6% to 25.1% in the years from 2008 to 2018.

    Costs are carried by customers

    The restructuring of the energy network in Germany has its price. For private households, the cost of a kilowatt hour rose by an average of 6% per year between 2000 and 2019. A price increase for electricity from 13.94 cents to 30.43 cents, i.e. an increase of 118%, had to be borne by citizens on average in Germany.

    In the coming years, Germany's nuclear and coal-fired power plants are to be completely shut down and the share of renewable energies further increased. If there should be supply gaps in the grid because renewable energy sources are not sufficient, there will be electricity imports from abroad.

    Dependence on OPEC increases

    Shifting the generation of nuclear and coal-fired power to neighbouring countries does not make life on earth any cleaner or safer. In this context, energy policy must be critically reviewed. The state subsidy for electric cars will further increase the demand for electricity, although it is foreseeable that the national supply will continue to decline.

    While Western banks and funds are currently reducing their involvement in oil and gas production for image reasons, dependence on OPEC is increasing. The OPEC countries, such as Iran, Iraq, Syria and Saudi Arabia, have around 80% of the oil reserves. The oil demand of modern society, which strives for security and prosperity, is constantly increasing and now amounts to around 100 million barrels of crude oil per day.

    Diversification is necessary

    Hydrogen has the potential to become the energy carrier of the future, because it can be stored and refuelled similar to petrol and diesel. The refuelling process takes a few minutes and the range of the vehicles is comparable to that of vehicles with conventional fuels. NEL ASA manufactures systems that produce hydrogen and can be used to refuel vehicles. However, the energy balance is only truly green if the electricity used to produce hydrogen comes from renewable energy sources. It is similar with the charging of VARTA batteries.

    Saturn Oil & Gas is an oil producer from Canada, the country that has the highest standards and environmental requirements in the world for producing the world's most important energy source. The company is growing and profitable, the share is still relatively unknown with corresponding price potential. In the future, the origin of crude oil will become increasingly important, which is why this company in North America is particularly exciting. A well diversified portfolio consists of an energy mix.

    Snow chaos and climate madness, who is playing in the Premier League of the energy transition? Nel ASA, Power Nickel and Plug Power under the microscope

    Snow chaos and new record highs. While the DAX 40 demonstrates itself as the world's best blue-chip index, the German economy is currently navigating downward. It is not the earnings outlook that is presently driving share prices but the hope of lower interest rates. Meanwhile, the endless climate debates in Dubai continue. Among realists, however, there must be fears that the local oil lobby will not let a German know-it-all put a stop to the lavish margins with fossil fuels. There will, at least, be a friendly Arab nod to the 2050 climate goals and exclusive indulgence for the high-ranking German delegation. Whether this justifies federal expenditure of more than EUR 50 million is something we will leave uncommented. More important is a look at the top titles of the upcoming energy transition - where is the next 100 percenter lurking?

    More than 30% with Plug Power, Siemens Energy, and Globex Mining! What is next?

    Is the Plug Power share about to triple? Despite being one of the disappointments of 2023 along with Siemens Energy, both shares have risen in recent days. And analysts see further upside potential. The price target for the hydrogen specialist, in particular, is surprising. On the other hand, Globex Mining is performing well operationally throughout 2023. The shares of the mining incubator from North America have gained over 30% in value this year, outperforming commodity giants such as Barrick Gold. The Canadians' recent transaction shows that the business model has potential and is appealing to investors.

    With the decision by the oil cartel OPEC+ to further reduce production in the first quarter of next year, oil prices continued their correction that has been ongoing for weeks. Russia and OPEC+ announced their planned cuts at a total of 2.2 million barrels per day. The current decline in the oil sector offers investors an opportunity to participate in the expected long-term upward trend at more favorable prices.
