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

Daimler Truck, dynaCERT, Apple shares - Who are the game changers in the market?
As the demand for consumer goods continues to grow, the number of diesel trucks on the roads is also increasing. Just 1.5 years after laying the foundation stone, Daimler Truck is clearly focusing on commercial vehicles powered by battery and fuel cell technology at its site in Stuttgart-Feuerbach. Until then, bridging technologies will continue to expand. The Canadian company dynaCERT has developed a pioneering method to reduce the environmental impact of diesel trucks and HGVs. With this innovative technology, hydrogen is fed directly into the engines, resulting in significantly lower harmful emissions such as CO₂ and nitrogen oxides. This technology has already been tested worldwide and is considered a decisive step in the fight against climate change in the transportation sector. The technology can also be used in other transportation sectors, such as shipping or mining. And when it comes to the automotive industry, Apple must recognize that not everything the Cupertino-based company touches turns to gold...

Hydrogen news: Nel shares "Sell", Thyssenkrupp Nucera "Buy", and First Hydrogen convinces customers
Are Nel shares at risk of another price slide? The Norwegians failed to impress with their figures for the fourth quarter and the full year 2023. Incoming orders, in particular, are a cause for concern. Analysts see further downside potential for the share, but there are also optimists. In contrast, the hydrogen newcomer First Hydrogen, which specializes in commercial vehicles, is convincing. In the UK, there was no loss of range even during use in the cold season. Owners of Tesla, Volkswagen and the like can only dream of this. If concrete orders follow, the share should be able to take off. Analysts see potential for Thyssekrupp Nucera shares. The development in the first quarter was convincing. However, investors should also scrutinize the developments in the German hydrogen hopeful.

100% opportunities with Nel, Plug Power, Royal Helium - Hydrogen is turning now!
How will the energy transition in Europe really unfold? Hydrogen is a tricky matter. The raw material is considered an alternative building block for a green future and, according to experts, could become one of the most important energy sources in the coming decades. Nevertheless, there is a lack of green energy sources for its environmentally friendly production. Even under the best conditions, producing electricity from green hydrogen still costs around twice as much as from oil, coal or natural gas. Since 2022, consumers have had to cope with cost increases of over 50% in energy and are unlikely to be able to use hydrogen in a meaningful way. The necessary decisions for economic implementation, therefore, lie with politicians. H2 shares have lost around 85% in the last 24 months. In addition to a technical rebound in hydrogen, investors should also take a closer look at the technical gas helium.

Uranium with exploding demand! Kraken Energy ideally positioned, hydrogen with Nel ASA and Plug Power in rebound?
Some politicians are feverishly dreaming of making energy generation climate-neutral! Those who take a closer look at the matter realize that the speed of adaptation to more sustainable electricity production must be supported by sizeable public investment budgets. In Germany and the EU, so-called eco-taxes are levied on private transport, which are used to finance alternative energy generation. That is the green theory, as expensive environmental projects should benefit the general public. Because the EU recently gave nuclear energy the "green light" in its taxonomy, this form of energy is now coming back into focus. The protagonists of this view are the nuclear power supporters France, Spain, Poland and the Czech Republic, with Germany notably staying out of this topic. Worldwide, over 50 reactors are expected to come online in the next few years, and what is needed for that is uranium. Which shares should be in focus now?

Timing is half the battle! Watch out for defense stocks: Renk, Rheinmetall, Hensoldt, and dynaCERT in focus!
Despite a red-green government, defense stocks are in demand again in Germany. After years of pacifism, Berlin's traffic light government is now firing up arms investments everywhere with conviction. The aim is to make the war in Ukraine a success for Europe by supplying weapons - an interesting experiment and an entirely new direction in the German political spectrum. The underfunding of the German Bundeswehr has been rightly recognized, and now an additional EUR 100 billion is to be allocated under the Basic Law. The stock market picks up on this trend and values the sought-after armaments higher and higher, and international exports are now more legitimized than ever. That is how quickly times change. This brings fantasy to the share price and a windfall for resourceful investors. Where do further opportunities lie?

Plug Power, First Hydrogen, Daimler Truck - Hydrogen: the game changer in transportation
The rapid development of electromobility has undoubtedly brought many advantages. However, there are some questions regarding its suitability for use in commercial transportation. The issues concerning the weight of the batteries, the long recharging time, and the limited range cannot be ignored. In view of these facts, it is questionable whether electric vehicles can completely replace diesel fuel in commercial transportation. There is a need for further technological advances, such as hydrogen propulsion. Although hydrogen has not yet received the same level of attention as electric vehicles, its potential suggests that it can solve the current problems.
