BYD, Altech Advanced Materials, Varta - Is hydrogen displacing e-mobility?
Chancellor Scholz was in Canada with Economics Minister Habeck to secure gas and hydrogen for the future. According to CEO Oliver Zipse, BMW is looking into series production of hydrogen cars. These are alarm signals for the producers of batteries for electric vehicles. Until recently, the electric drive was the preferred option in the passenger car market. The disadvantages are the long charging times, the low range and safety aspects. The hydrogen drive can score points, especially in terms of charging times. If the electric drive is to maintain its lead, the batteries in electric cars must become more efficient. Today, we look at three companies trying to solve the problems of rechargeable batteries.

Biotech stocks - The way it has to go! BioNTech, Defence Therapeutics, Bavarian Nordic
The pharmaceutical and biotech sectors are synonymous with a gold-rush atmosphere. As in the commodities sector, just one discovery can change everything for companies. The best example is BioNTech. Until the pandemic outbreak, the Company was, at best, a household name to biotech nerds. Today, the Palatinate-based company is on top and paying so many taxes that the treasurers of Mainz could pop the corks. We outline three biotech gems and do the future check. We start with BioNTech.

Germany is turning into a desert: Desert Gold, BASF, K+S - Opportunities in the agricultural and gold sector
Germany is experiencing the best summer in decades, causing many to cheer, whilst farmers are becoming increasingly desperate. Not that we wish for bad weather, no - it is simply a matter of balancing the climate because a certain amount of precipitation at the right time is vital for our soils. However, the number of rainy days this summer could be counted on one hand, and some areas did not receive any precious water at all. Farmers will therefore harvest an average of 30% less, with some fruits threatening total failure. The problem has less to do with climate change and more with desertification, which has been caused by human intervention for centuries.

Precious metals producer Manuka Resources facing transformation, what are Barrick Gold and Newmont doing?
The precious metals gold and silver were able to start a rally with the beginning of the Ukraine crisis. With high inflation rates, gold was supposed to be the safe haven, but the strength of the US dollar and interest rate hikes pushed the gold price back down. Additionally, according to Wirtschaftswoche, Ukraine sold USD 12.4 billion worth of gold, more than the country officially owned. However, since gold bounced up at the important USD 1,680 level and was also able to break the downtrend line, now might be the time for gold. Today we look at the two big players, as well as an emerging precious metals producer.

Nordex, Alpha Copper, Uniper - Forward-looking change
The demand for copper will increase rapidly in the coming years due to the shift to renewable energies. By 2030, 250% more copper will be needed for chargers in electric vehicles. Wind turbine manufacturer Nordex also needs the highly conductive metal. A wind farm in Ireland is being topped up with new turbines, but other factors are affecting the Company's figures, so there seems to be no end in sight to its red figures this year. Energy group Uniper is also still struggling. Despite the gas levy, maintaining ongoing operations remains a real test. Where is an investment worthwhile?

Finding the best GreenTech stocks: BYD, Defense Metals, JinkoSolar and Nordex in focus
Since Joe Biden's Climate Bill, GreenTech stocks have been on everyone's lips. That is because, in addition to the EU, the US now also wants to step on the gas pedal significantly. It is all about investing in the future of climate protection. This primarily involves technologies for alternative energy generation, such as solar or wind power plants. Equally in focus, however, are the drive technologies for the many vehicles on our roads. The pivotal point is strategically important metals; they are rare and highly sought after. International dependence on China makes many projects a tough balancing act. But some companies are well positioned. Have they already gone too far?

Saturn Oil + Gas, E.ON, BP - Share price explosion expected
Germany and Canada are determined to significantly expand hydrogen production and exports to Europe by 2025. This will make an important contribution to achieving climate targets and contribute to a clean and sustainable energy supply. Unfortunately, it will do European industries and citizens precious little good until then. The electricity price for next year has already risen to over EUR 600/MWh. E.ON customers should wrap themselves up warmly, even if they are playing poker with green hydrogen. The enormous increase in energy prices will continue as the demand for electricity remains unbroken. Experts, therefore, advise people to buy quickly before prices shoot up even further. One winner in the energy supply race is Saturn Oil & Gas. Analysts see an outperformance before the end of this year. Meanwhile, BP Group is putting itself on top course in China.

Rock Tech Lithium, Globex Mining, XPeng - Time to act
It is all or nothing for climate change. The supply of critical raw materials is already barely guaranteed in the Western world for many urgently needed materials. Dependence on China is crushing. The Canadian government has now signed memoranda of understanding with German automakers Volkswagen AG and Mercedes-Benz Group AG to develop supply chains for nickel, lithium, cobalt and other key minerals used in electric vehicles. At least this is a first step, but it will be far from sufficient. The primary beneficiaries, on the other hand, are the mining companies, especially in North America.

dynaCERT CEO Jim Payne on carbon credits and VERRA
The Canadian hydrogen company dynaCERT is focused on the development of scalable technologies. In cooperation with VERRA in the USA, a process is currently being developed to certify the savings in energy consumption resulting from the use of dynaCERT products as Carbon Credits in the future. The market is large, so the trade fair 'IAA TRANSPORTATION' in Hannover, Germany, September 20-25, 2022, is eagerly awaited for where the company will make its presence clear. dynaCERT was significantly impacted by Corona lockdowns and has been rallying for the past few days, heading towards pre-Covid-19 pandemic levels, peaking at CAD 1.25. In Canada, more than 6.3 million shares were traded yesterday and at the close of the market, another 1.89 million shares were in the bid at CAD 0.30. CEO Jim Payne told us what the significance of the successful deal with VERRA will be. A taste of what to expect.

BYD, Meta Materials, Pfizer - Full pipeline
Uncertainty returns after the rises of recent weeks. In addition to equities, other asset classes such as precious metals and cryptocurrencies are also falling and marking a multi-week low. Besides the uncertain geopolitical situation, the culprit is mainly the fear of a global recession bundled with rampant inflation. It is challenging to currently filter out the right stocks from this overall negative environment. Nevertheless, many companies are shining with full order books and innovations and should benefit in the long term in the event of a turnaround.
