Hydrogen Slump and "Tesla Fantasy": How Plug Power, Ballard Power, and First Hydrogen Aim to Regain Momentum
The hydrogen ramp-up in the industrial sector has reached a critical juncture. On the one hand, the scarcity of fossil fuels is driving the need to invest now; on the other hand, the struggling economy is wary of the associated costs. While climate targets remain firmly in place despite recent adjustments within the EU, and the International Energy Agency (IEA) projects global hydrogen demand to reach a staggering 17,500 terawatt-hours by mid-century, the hydrogen industry is facing mounting pressure. In Germany, policymakers are intensifying this pressure through the national implementation of the EU's RED III Directive. This directive stipulates that, starting in 2026, fuel suppliers must demonstrate compliance with mandatory minimum quotas for renewable fuels. According to calculations by Provaris Energy, failure to comply could result in penalties of EUR 120 per gigajoule, equivalent to an effective surcharge of up to EUR 15 per kilogram of hydrogen. With domestic hydrogen production capacity expected to remain constrained, the pressure to act is mounting. Is the hydrogen economy finally gaining momentum? We take a closer look at the industry and highlight several key companies that could benefit from the next phase of development.

How to Secure Your Hydrogen Advantage: Nel ASA, dynaCERT, and Plug Power Now in the Spotlight
The era of green hydrogen has finally left behind its much-criticized phase of announcements and exaggerations. Concrete investments worth billions in electrolyzers, pipelines, and storage facilities are propelling the sector into the real economy by 2026—and thus into the spotlight of investors who want to see more than just political declarations of intent. As production costs for green hydrogen improve and industrial demand surges, the spotlight is now on those companies that have mastered the technology behind this value chain. We are therefore taking a look today at the Norwegian electrolyzer specialist Nel ASA, the Canadian emissions reducer dynaCERT, and the US system integrator Plug Power.

FuelCell Energy, Zefiro Methane, ExxonMobil: 3 Energy Stocks Poised for the Next Surge
The global energy demand is reaching new heights. AI data centers, industry, digitalization, and geopolitical tensions are driving billions in investments into power grids, power plants, and modern energy technologies. At the same time, decentralized energy supply, fossil fuels, and smart infrastructure solutions are regaining importance. Companies benefiting from this massive investment cycle could be on the verge of a sustained growth phase and, as a result, are likely to increasingly come into focus for investors.

Zero-Emission Commercial Vehicles in 2026: Why Daimler Truck, Pure One, and Plug Power Are Benefiting from the Logistics Revolution
Since July 2025, the EU has mandated a gradual decarbonization of heavy-duty transportation, and the logistics industry is grappling with the right technology. Batteries or hydrogen? The answer is: both. The complexity of long-haul transport requires a mix of propulsion systems and a robust infrastructure. While batteries excel in short-distance travel, hydrogen offers the potential for heavy loads and fast refueling. Three key players exemplify this transformation: the vehicle giant Daimler Truck, the cleantech specialist Pure One, and the infrastructure pioneer Plug Power.

Penalty Shootout in the Energy Sector: Takeovers Ahead? Keep an Eye on Nel ASA, A.H.T. Syngas, Helios Solar, ITM, and Plug Power
Markets continue to climb, and the global energy transition is entering a new investment phase. Yet the momentum is far from evenly distributed. While Europe is accelerating the expansion of renewable energy to meet rising electricity demand from electric vehicles, industry, data centers, and artificial intelligence, the US administration is placing renewed emphasis on expanding nuclear power. Meanwhile, Southeast Asia is quietly emerging as one of the world's fastest-growing solar markets. According to the International Energy Agency, annual global investment in clean energy technologies will need to exceed USD 2 trillion by the end of the decade merely to move closer to international climate targets. At the same time, the European Commission is easing fiscal rules, giving member states greater scope to invest in energy infrastructure, while the European Investment Bank plans to provide EUR 75 billion in financing for energy transition projects by 2028. Who stands to benefit?

Hydrogen Is Gaining Ground in Emerging Markets - How the Transition Can Succeed: Trimble, Nel, dynaCERT
While the long-term goal of completely emission-free mobility remains, opinions on the path to achieving it vary widely. Especially in light of the sluggish economy and major challenges, more and more economies are turning to pragmatic solutions. Many technological and infrastructural hurdles can be circumvented in this way. Since the conversion of large commercial vehicle fleets to battery or fuel cell systems is likely to take decades for well-known reasons, transition technologies are gaining importance. We shed light on the market and introduce three promising players.

How to Capitalize on the Billion-Dollar Market for Zero-Emission Commercial Vehicles with BYD, Pure One, and Plug Power
In late December 2026, DACHSER will become the first customer worldwide to put the Mercedes-Benz NextGenH2 truck, powered by liquid hydrogen, on the road. At the same time, WattEV in California ordered 370 Tesla Semis—the largest single purchase of electric trucks in the state. And in April 2026, Pure One delivered two 32-ton hydrogen-powered concrete mixers to Heidelberg Materials for acceptance. These three announcements from recent weeks prove that the zero-emission commercial vehicle market is taking off. This is precisely where BYD, Pure One, and Plug Power are positioning themselves with different but highly profitable strategies.

Plug Power in Rally Mode! Robotics Potential at RENK and First Hydrogen
Plug Power's stock has more than doubled since late February. It broke through the USD 4 mark earlier this week. But the rally will eventually need to be backed up by operational news. At least there was a recent capital increase. At First Hydrogen, the revaluation has only just begun. The company aims to make its mark in robotics and drones. It is targeting an interesting niche within the multi-billion-dollar markets. The stock does not appear expensive. Analysts recommend buying RENK, though the price target has been lowered. However, as is the case across the entire defence sector, momentum is lacking. But this could change soon. A defence trade show is coming up, and RENK is offering an interesting outlook.

Ballard Power Stock Surges – What Is Happening at Standard Lithium and Antimony Resources?
Created and published on behalf of Antimony Resources Corp.
Ballard Power continues to surprise the market, with the stock having tripled within just a few months. At the same time, quarterly losses remain elevated, a key anchor shareholder has been gradually reducing its position, and operational updates remain limited, aside from isolated announcements out of Germany. By contrast, Antimony Resources is impressing with positive news. Analysts see significant upside potential, and the company is advancing a strategically significant antimony project in a market where critical metals remain in strong demand. Following a recent correction, the share price may now be offering a more attractive entry point. And what is Standard Lithium up to? There is news from the flagship Smackover project—though not the kind investors had hoped for.
