Green hydrogen is the energy source of the future. Without it, there will be no climate change. The German government has also recognized this and is since focusing on a national hydrogen strategy. Green hydrogen is produced by the electrolysis of water, using only electricity from renewable sources. Only green hydrogen is truly climate-friendly, as it is made without fossil fuels. Currently, the correction in the respective shares offers favorable entry opportunities. Place your bets on the market leaders.

    Enapter AG - Further promotion

    Green hydrogen is the missing piece of the puzzle for the energy transition. Only the cost-intensive production and transport still hinder the big breakthrough. However, according to industry experts, the prices should drop by up to 50% by implementing wind or solar energy, making green hydrogen cheaper than diesel. That is the vision that technology leader Enapter AG is pursuing with Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM) electrolysis, which can produce green hydrogen. The technology enables the construction of efficient, cost-effective, standardized electrolyzers and stacks that can be scaled up to larger units through modular construction.

    Enapter's proprietary Energy Management System software ensures easy operation, control and monitoring, and high compatibility. Patents and strong in-house research and development capabilities give Enapter a sustainable competitive advantage. The Heidelberg-based Company is supported in this by the German federal and state governments.

    The Ministry of Economic Affairs, Innovation, Digitalization & Energy of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia gave EUR 9.36 million from its funding pots to develop the planned mass production of the electrolyzers on the Enapter campus in Saerbeck. Another EUR 5.6 million in funding from the Federal Ministry of Research was added at the beginning of July for the new "AEM Multicore" electrolyzers being developed in cooperation with Münster University of Applied Sciences.

    According to current plans, the innovative system will be launched on the market as early as next year. "With the AEM electrolysis technology, we could achieve the goal of low-cost production of green hydrogen. Germany is the home of the technology leader for AEM. That is why we are all the more pleased to drive the market launch of this innovative product," said Anja Karliczek, Federal Minister of Education and Research.

    At the Enapter Campus in the climate community of Saerbeck, which is scheduled to go into operation by 2022 at the latest, the modular systems for the production of green hydrogen are to be manufactured and further developed in large quantities in the future, with 100,000 AEM electrolyzer units expected per year. By then, at the latest, Enapter's technological lead should be apparent. The Company currently has a market capitalization of EUR 601 million, which is still a long way from comparable companies such as Nel ASA, which weighs in at EUR 2.4 billion.

    Everfuel - Strong partners

    Even the former subsidiary of Nel ASA, Everfuel, which went public through a spin-off last fall, has an impressive market capitalization of EUR 543.50 million. Unlike Enapter, it can boast neither technology leadership nor its own patent series. On the other hand, the Company's Swedish subsidiary, Everfuel Sweden AB, announced that it has signed a cooperation agreement with OKQ8.

    OKQ8 is a leading Swedish fuel company with more than 400 filling stations. Together, the partners aim to develop the green hydrogen market in Sweden by building a network of H2 stations for zero-emission mobility in conjunction with existing and new OKQ8 refueling stations. The hydrogen station network will target leading locations for intensive and heavy-duty customers and be open to passenger vehicles. Initially, the larger cities and transport corridors between Stockholm, Malmö and Gothenburg will be covered.

    In addition to the joint venture in Sweden, a partnership has also been signed with Greenstat AS to develop a commercially competitive hydrogen supply for zero-emission mobility by rail, road and sea in Norway. Everfuel's stock is bottoming out after a major correction and is trading at EUR 7.01. A buy signal would result from a sustained breakout above the EUR 7.25 mark.

    SFC Energy - Relative strength

    While the broad mass of shares in the hydrogen sector lost more than 50% of their value in some cases, the SFC Energy share showed relative strength and, after testing the support zone at EUR 26, is moving back towards its all-time high at around EUR 32.

    The Company is getting a tailwind from a buy recommendation from the investment house Metzler. The analysts have raised their price target from EUR 33.0 to EUR 36.0. Metzler anticipates sales in the region of EUR 66 million for the full year, nearly doubling to around EUR 125 million in 2022. On the earnings side, the experts still expect a loss of EUR 0.07 for the current year, but earnings per share of EUR 0.26 in 2022.


    Green hydrogen is becoming an essential building block for the decarbonization of the economy and thus the energy transition. As the market leader, Enapter's anion exchange membrane electrolysis, which can produce green hydrogen, is promising long-term. At current levels, fuel cell specialist SFC Energy is also promising. In the case of Everfuel, we advise waiting for the buy signal.

    Nel ASA and Varta continue to decline: dynaCERT convinces analysts during an on-site visit

    Being active in a market of the future is no guarantee for success. Shareholders of Varta had to painfully realize this in recent months. The German battery group has indeed reached an agreement with banks on restructuring. However, there can be no talk of a liberating blow. According to analysts, the share could continue to slide. Experts are also somewhat cautious about Nel ASA. The hydrogen specialist's chart does not look rosy either. In contrast, dynaCERT could be due for a revaluation in the current year. Experts believe the Greentech company has set the course for a commercial breakthrough in 2023.

    Money from the state comes in handy for many companies. This is especially true when the challenges are great, and the capital requirements are immense. For large industrial companies, subsidies have always been part of the package. Just recently, Volkswagen, for example, picked up money in South Carolina. We explain in which industries there is also something "to be had" for shareholders.

    Canadian fuel cell manufacturer Ballard Power joins First Hydrogen for LCV test drive. The two companies are cooperating to produce the world's first hydrogen-powered vans. According to expert forecasts, the logistics industry will be worth EUR 13.7 billions by 2027. Change at Volkswagen's premium Audi brand is proceeding rather sluggishly. The regulations imposed by the EU are causing problems for CEO Duesmann, who sees it as unrealistic to implement everything that Brussels demands by 2025. Daimler Truck, on the other hand, is looking forward to a major order that will soon get 1.8 million people in the Hamburg metropolitan region moving. The Hamburg-Holstein transport authority signs a major order.
