BYD, Altech Advanced Materials, Xiaomi - Battle for the gold of the energy transition
The energy transition is underway, and demand for electric vehicles is increasing, albeit more slowly than expected. Lithium has so far been fundamental to the electrification of transportation. To minimize dependence on China, which controls a large part of the mining and processing of the rare metal, the European Union is turning to Serbia, where considerable deposits for battery production lie dormant. However, in addition to lithium-ion batteries, there are alternatives "Made in Germany" that could set the future standard.

E-mobility stutters, 200% possible with AI! VW, Mercedes, Prismo Metals, and Super Micro Computer in focus!
E-mobility has become a political issue in Europe. This is because the EU is smilingly having to approve imports from China, which are around 25% cheaper. Although punitive tariffs came into force last week, they also affected German models produced in Asia that are intended for the European market. In the long term, trade wars will always have a negative impact on the economy because consumers remain uncertain, delaying new car purchases. Local dealers are overwhelmed with showroom stock delivered directly from factories. Overall, this puts additional pressure on an already struggling economy, and after Varta, there will likely be more cases of restructuring in the sector. We take a closer look at this challenging sector and uncover interesting opportunities!

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.

RWE, dynaCERT, Mercedes-Benz: Energy of the future - Hydrogen vs Electric
The energy transition is at the center of the strategies of RWE, dynaCERT, and Mercedes-Benz, each with different emphases. The energy company RWE is driving forward its hydrogen strategy with billions in investment and state subsidies. The Company plans to build electrolysers and hydrogen storage facilities, which, according to its IR Factbook, are the most promising components of its energy mix in the future. dynaCERT and its portfolio company Cipher Neutron are also focusing on innovative hydrogen solutions. Its AEM electrolysis technology, which is being researched in collaboration with Simon Fraser University, promises more efficient and cost-effective methods of hydrogen production. Mercedes-Benz, on the other hand, is struggling with the weaknesses of electric batteries. A severe fire involving an EV-Mercedes in an underground garage required over 8 hours of firefighting efforts, damaging 108 other vehicles and significantly damaging its reputation in one of its key markets...

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.

Deutsche Rohstoff AG, Saturn Oil + Gas, Siemens Energy - Weak demand offers opportunities
Persistent concerns about slow demand in China led to a sell-off and pushed oil prices below USD 80 per barrel. According to customs data released over the weekend, diesel and gasoline exports from the major oil importer fell sharply in July, driven by lower crude processing due to weak margins. However, this is offset by supply risks related to tensions in the Middle East and the escalation of the war between Russia and Ukraine, which could bring the current correction to a rapid end.
