Bloom Energy, First Hydrogen, Nel ASA - Best conditions for a rebound
Germany is not the only country working to develop a sustainable hydrogen market. Economics Minister Robert Habeck recently announced funding for projects totalling EUR 4.6 billion to make the economy climate-neutral. Green hydrogen is set to be a key energy source in the future. The German government projects a hydrogen demand of 95 to 130 TWh annually by 2030 to support industrial decarbonization. This development is not currently reflected in listed companies, which may open up new investment opportunities in the long term.

Plug Power, Saturn Oil + Gas, RWE - Which energy belongs in the portfolio?
The debate about the ideal energy source for the future focuses on hydrogen, oil, and renewable energies. Despite its controversial reputation, oil remains a significant energy source due to its high energy density and well-established infrastructure. Technological advances are also reducing the negative environmental impact. However, renewable energies and hydrogen also offer significant advantages, such as sustainability and low emissions. However, there is a lack of infrastructure to fully exploit the advantages of these technologies. We examine one candidate from each sector and where they stand today.

dynaCERT, Volkswagen, Siemens Energy - Growth drivers in renewable energy: Who is leading?
In the hydrogen business, countries are providing government incentives to further promote this innovative technology. For instance, the US Department of Energy is providing around USD 750 million for 52 projects in 24 states. The goal is clear: to make clean hydrogen affordable and to gain international leadership in this sector. The Canadian company dynaCERT has developed an emission-reducing technology to retrofit conventional diesel engines to make them emission-free. This bridging technology combines the best of both worlds: the efficiency of diesel engines and the retrofittable and switchable CO₂-reducing drive form. The engine itself remains untouched in its functionality. One reason for the slow progress of large-scale hydrogen projects is the still lacking infrastructure. Siemens Energy can look forward to significant growth in its Grid Technologies division. Volkswagen, on the other hand, is learning that subsidies are not always advantageous, particularly regarding electric vehicles. The plant in Brussels is on the brink of collapse. And then there is a multi-million-dollar compensation claim from a completely different sector.

SMA Solar shocks! Nel with partnerships! Kraken Energy shares could benefit from billionaire Bill Gates!
While Siemens Energy shares are marching towards a yearly high, driven by a new billion-dollar order from Saudi Arabia, many other energy shares - especially those in the carbon-neutral sector - have been struggling all year. Is now the time to take an anti-cyclical approach to stocks that are at rock bottom? SMA Solar has hit a new 52-week low following its profit warning. What do the analysts say? Nel ASA has not yet succeeded in breaking free with the spin-off of its subsidiary Cavendish Hydrogen. The Norwegians are relying on strong partners with a focused business model. Kraken Energy currently offers an exciting entry opportunity. Billionaire Bill Gates is making headlines with the construction of a new nuclear power plant in the US. Uranium specialist Kraken Energy could also benefit from this.

Shaping the future of energy: Plug Power, Saturn Oil + Gas, and SMA Solar in focus
The European Commission has launched a hydrogen bank to reduce harmful emissions in Europe. Financial incentives are being used to finance hydrogen projects worth hundreds of millions. Plug Power can score points with its knowledge advantage and secured a 25-megawatt deal for its electrolyser systems with a company in the EU. However, fossil fuels remain an essential part of the global economic infrastructure. Saturn Oil & Gas is pleased to announce the completion of a fresh acquisition in southern Saskatchewan, Canada. Investors, in turn, are pleased with the Company's liquidity and further debt reduction. Investors in SMA Solar AG are less pleased. Following a profit warning, the share price plummeted, and analysts are disgruntled. Does this mark the end for the German solar industry? Chinese companies are still gaining ground. Where is it worth investing?

After the European elections: Is it all happening now? Nel ASA, Kraken Energy, Siemens Energy, ThyssenKrupp and Nucera in focus
Europe has voted, and the Green parties have suffered historic losses! Now, the energy debate is coming to the fore again. While Germany is focusing entirely on green energy in the future, other countries have long since turned the challenges of the time into action. Nuclear energy remains a "zero-zero solution", making France, the Czech Republic and Poland the biggest climate protection exporters in the EU. This is because many new state-of-the-art reactors are being built here. The electricity market is huge, as Germany alone will have to shut down its gas and coal-fired power plants over the next few years due to the CO2 reduction commitments from the Paris Agreement. This threatens to create a supply gap that can only be filled with alternative energies, nuclear power, or hydrogen. What should investors focus on now?

Share price rise! Nel ASA, Rheinmetall, Almonty Industries - Which momentum share is running out of steam?
Will the Rheinmetall share end its consolidation and rise to a new all-time high? The chances are good. The armaments group is receiving one order after another - most recently from the German government and Lithuania. Analysts believe the share has around 30% potential. The Almonty Industries share has gained around 30% in recent months. The momentum for the tungsten producer is likely to continue. In China - the number one producer country - prices are rising to a 10-year high, and production is falling at the same time. This could hardly be a better time for Almonty to commission a new mine. The share price momentum at Nel ASA seems to be running out of steam. Or can the latest news provide support?

Siemens Energy, Carbon Done Right Developments, ThyssenKrupp - Benefiting from the decarbonization megatrend
The world faces the challenge of mitigating climate change and developing clean energy sources. Companies offering innovative solutions for a sustainable future will gain a competitive advantage in the long term. For energy-hungry industries in particular, it is difficult to meet all demand through clean energy generation, and so carbon credits are needed to offset CO2 emissions. Using CO2 certificates offsets emissions and thus makes a valuable contribution to climate protection. We take a look at Siemens Energy, a clean energy producer; Carbon Done Right Developments, which produces CO2 certificates; and ThyssenKrupp, which aims to convert its steel industry to hydrogen energy.

Bloom Energy, Altech Advanced Materials, JinkoSolar - Renewables are booming again
The hype that began at the start of the decade was followed by disillusionment and drastic share price losses. Over the past three years, renewable energy companies such as Plug Power, Nel ASA & Co. have lost disproportionately to the broader market. For some months now, however, many share prices have been showing signs of bottoming out, which could herald the next upward movement. There is no question that hydrogen, photovoltaics, and wind energy technologies will be further expanded in the future.

RWE, Desert Gold Ventures, GameStop - Stragglers in the bull market
Despite the fact that the US stock markets were closed yesterday for Memorial Day, Germany's leading index, the DAX, remained in the green. In addition to the major share indices, other asset classes, such as gold and Bitcoin, are generally in an overarching upward trend, which suggests that prices will continue to rise. Although the underlying assets are trading near their highs, companies from the relevant sectors are still far from reaching those levels.
