Volkswagen, Defense Metals, BYD, Rheinmetall - China's weapon in the tech race

  • Mining
  • RareEarths
  • Electromobility
  • hightech

In the shadow of global power rivalries, rare earths play a crucial role, not only for the defense industry, but also for the booming electric vehicle market and the production of catalytic converters in the automotive industry. These metals are the invisible backbone powering high-tech devices and are of strategic importance for the global economy and security. China's dominance in extracting and processing such resources - as illustrated by Deng Xiaoping's statement: "The Middle East has oil. China has rare earths." - sheds light on potential geopolitical tensions and highlights the importance of supply chain diversification and resilience.

  • Electromobility

Germany's automotive industry is in a state of upheaval. With an annual turnover of EUR 411 billion, solutions are urgently needed to drive electrification forward. E.ON, as one of the largest utilities, is investing billions in European infrastructure for this purpose. The Company is also increasing its dividend. Heidelberg-based Altech Advanced Materials is launching stationary battery storage systems on the market at the beginning of April. It has also published the results of the current feasibility study for its second pillar: a special coating for silicon battery anodes that ensures greater power and longevity. These are exactly the sticking points that customers have been complaining about so far. Tesla also relies on silicon batteries in its models. This week, Elon Musk visited the German plant in Grünheide, and has some good news in store...

Porsche, First Hydrogen, Mercedes-Benz: Which shares offer growth potential in the transformation phase towards clean energy?

  • Hydrogen
  • greenhydrogen
  • Electromobility

The German automotive industry is facing drastic changes, one of the biggest transformation phases in history. The "Green Deal" is forcing car manufacturers to completely overhaul their requirements and supply chains. Porsche announces the introduction of hybrid drive in its popular 911 models, and the Macan is set to be offered entirely as an electric vehicle. However, CEO Blume links the transition to an important condition. Forecasts by McKinsey show that clean hydrogen will account for a significant part of the global energy supply by 2030. In this context, First Hydrogen is playing a decisive role in the development of zero-emission transportation solutions. First Hydrogen is developing emission-free vehicles and green hydrogen production in Vancouver, Montreal and London. In partnership with AVL Powertrain and Ballard Power Systems Inc., the Company is working on hydrogen-powered light commercial vehicles with a range of over 630 km. Around 8,000 Mercedes-Benz employees in Germany are currently experiencing the fact that the green transformation can be painful. We provide the details.

BYD, Carbon Done Right Developments, Plug Power - Ecological responsibility becomes a success factor

  • Sustainability
  • Electromobility
  • renewableenergies

Companies are faced with the urgent task of improving their carbon footprint and paving the way to climate neutrality. In an age in which environmental protection and sustainability are increasingly coming into focus, companies are called upon to act proactively and make their contribution to climate protection. Effective strategies to achieve this goal include a range of measures, from increasing energy efficiency and switching to renewable energy to optimizing transport routes and promoting a circular economy. If these steps are insufficient because the Company is too energy-hungry, the unavoidable emissions must be offset by investing in climate protection projects. Every climate-neutral company has a competitive advantage, making the achievement of this goal quite lucrative.

Bitcoin soon at USD 100,000? The music is also playing at Rheinmetall, Renk, Manuka Resources and BYD!

  • Mining
  • Vanadium
  • Gold
  • armaments
  • Electromobility

The stock market is not a one-way street. While Bitcoin reaches new highs daily, many stocks are still on the sidelines. Only 21% of all listed shares reached a new high in 2024, yet the Nasdaq 100 and the DAX 40 index are at their all-time highs. Only a few stocks are gaining favour with investors; others are being left behind. The current focus is on high-tech stocks that enable ever-greater computing power, such as in mining or artificial intelligence. In addition to gigantic amounts of data, mining requires trillions of computing operations to be carried out in a very short time. There are rewards in the form of new bitcoins for confirming transactions on the blockchain, but they will be halved by the next "halving" event in April. Armament values, on the other hand, seem to be heating up. So how much time is left to reap further leaps in returns?

The demand for critical metals is increasing rapidly worldwide. From growing digitalization to the increased use of cryptocurrencies and AI, from advances in medical technology to electromobility and defense technology - all these areas rely on these critical raw materials. Defense Metals Corporation is an experienced explorer in British Columbia whose Wicheeda project is designed to provide these critical metals. Forward-thinking companies like the crypto exchange Coinbase serve many users who use rare earth metals to power their hard drives for crypto mining. Volkswagen also requires this raw material because car consumers in China have very different needs when it comes to vehicle software than those in the European market. A new CEO for the subsidiary and software company CARIAD knows exactly what needs to be done...

E-mobility versus combustion engines: Tesla and BYD stumble, Mercedes-Benz and Globex Mining in Vogue!

  • Mining
  • Commodities
  • RareEarths
  • Electromobility

The Tesla plant in Brandenburg is discharging polluted wastewater into the canals. Permissible limits for phosphorus and nitrogen are exceeded by up to six times. Elon Musk has not yet reacted to the accusations, as he is busy planning the expansion of his production facility. If the authorities were to take action here, the plant could also be subject to a production stop until the harmful sources are eliminated. Once again, environmental protection and the climate debate clash with the self-interest of foreign producers seemingly not on the radar of existing EU regulations. The water debate is nothing new. Since the plant in Grünheide went into operation, local communities have had to contend with a drop in the groundwater level because the plant draws an impermissible amount of water. For those finding Tesla unsympathetic due to these issues, look for other opportunities in the automotive sector!

  • Lithium
  • Batteries
  • Electromobility

The German government's decision to stop the environmental bonus has caused a drastic decline in new registrations of electric cars in Germany. After almost 55,000 battery-powered vehicles in December, the number dropped to 22,500 in the first month of the year. According to ADAC, citing data from the Federal Motor Transport Authority, the percentage share of electric vehicles in total new registrations plummeted from 22.6% to 10.5%. By contrast, the situation outside Germany looks considerably more positive. Around 1,120,000 new registrations were registered in the US in 2023, representing a growth of 54%. China remains by far the largest market, with 6.66 million electric vehicles sold, and the growth curve continues to rise at 24%.
