Is the gas dispute escalating? What are Nel, RWE and First Hydrogen doing?
Germany is preparing for a possible gas shortage with an "early warning" phase. Yesterday, Economics Minister Robert Habeck activated the early warning phase of the so-called Gas Emergency Plan due to a possible deterioration in the supply situation and put together a crisis team. Habeck: "There are currently no supply bottlenecks. Nevertheless, we must increase preventative measures to be prepared in the event of an escalation by Russia." The background to this is Russia's announcement that it will only accept rubles for gas deliveries in the future. Once again, this highlights the urgent need for Germany to become independent of Russian gas supplies. Companies such as the utility RWE and the hydrogen specialists Nel and First Hydrogen are providing support on this path. The shares offer interesting opportunities.

Alarm bells ringing: Shares of Nel ASA, K+S and Almonty Industries take off
There is a mood of alarm in German politics and business these days. The reason - prices for critical raw materials are going through the roof, and the security of supply is in question. BMW, Daimler, and Volkswagen have to shut down plants due to a shortage of nickel. And the stress factor is also high in medium-sized companies. Take tungsten, for example. "The sources are drying up at the moment, which is causing problems in procurement," says Johannes Schmidt in an interview with the FAZ. He is chairman of the board of the medium-sized holding Company Indus and thus has an overview of the situation in various industries. Although China is the largest tungsten producer, German companies have often ordered from Russia. On the other hand, commodity companies such as Almonty Industries, K+S and Nel are profiting. Their shares are taking off.

Nel and Bayer shares in demand - when will Barsele Minerals explode?
The stock and commodity markets remain volatile. Prices are driven by the war in Ukraine and the Corona pandemic. In recent days, commodities have been on the rise again. Brent oil is trading at around USD 120 per barrel, and gold is again setting its sights on the USD 2,000 mark. But even in this difficult-to-navigate environment, equities can make gains. Bayer shares, for example, have developed positively in recent weeks. And analysts see up to 50% upside potential for the DAX company. The invasion of Russia has also accelerated the move toward renewable energies. Hydrogen plays a central role in this. Nel has been able to profit from the fantasy in recent weeks and has now also announced a new order. Gold explorer Barsele Minerals has catch-up potential. According to a study, the share already had a lot of potential at a gold price of USD 1,350.

NEL, dynaCERT, Plug Power, Ballard Power - Oil & Gas infinitely expensive, where are the hydrogen stocks?
What a dramatic move for oil and gas! It was a movement with an announcement. Fossil fuels are being traded as if any sources were about to dry up. Due to the armed conflicts in Ukraine, analysts see the danger of a severe supply shortage of oil and gas if the Western countries impose an embargo on Russian oil and gas supplies. Europe, in particular, is likely to suffer because of its heavy dependence on the East. In order to secure the supply, one hopes for an OPEC production adjustment, which is probably not yet political consensus. For the past 3 weeks, concepts for alternative energy generation have again been in the spotlight. The acceleration of hydrogen technology remains a topic of desire for all politicians. What is the current status?

BYD, First Hydrogen, Continental - Hydrogen and e-mobility: Shares with huge potential
Germany must become more independent in terms of energy supply in the future. The war between Russia and Ukraine in the middle of Europe ruthlessly demonstrates how much the Federal Republic of Germany is at the mercy of fossil fuels. Now, at the latest, it should be apparent to every skeptic that the expansion of renewable energies and the transformation in the transport sector must proceed all the more quickly. The opportunities for the companies involved are enormous.

Plug Power, dynaCERT, Nel ASA - Hydrogen market worth billions
The German government wants to become independent of Russian energy imports as soon as possible. One way to achieve this could be green hydrogen. Markus Söder recently called for more hydrogen pipelines to be built quickly. It is no wonder as it is a long way from wind farms in the north or ports in the Netherlands to Bavaria. Interest in hydrogen in Europe is high. The EU Commission wants to increase hydrogen production to 25 gigawatts by 2030. Already in February Goldman Sachs drew attention to the hydrogen topic. It considers hydrogen to be an important factor on the way to a zero-emission economy and expects the industry to grow strongly. The Ukraine crisis gives a corresponding tailwind.

First Hydrogen, Tesla, Toyota - Hydrogen leads the way in logistics
For today's International Women's Day, we look at the discoverers of hydrogen sources. There are virtually no climate-damaging emissions where hydrogen is already being used as a form of propulsion today. First Hydrogen is a company that has chosen hydrogen-powered logistics vans as its niche to bring providers like Amazon and UPS up to speed. Things are finally getting mobile at the Gigafactory just outside Berlin, as Elon Musk gets the green light for the start-up. Meanwhile, Toyota's assembly line is at a standstill due to a cyberattack. The Japanese carmaker is also struggling with an emissions scandal involving a subsidiary.

Nel, Hensoldt, Perimeter Medical: Hype share or sustainably attractive?
Since Russia's attack on Ukraine, the world has turned upside down. Also, the stock market. The volatility is extreme, as is the uncertainty of many investors. It is worth taking a look at companies in sectors with good long-term prospects. More than ever, these include renewable energies and, as of almost two weeks ago, "unfortunately" also the defense industry. Hydrogen is a key technology, and Nel ASA is a specialist in this field. However, insider sales are causing uncertainty. The same happened at Hensoldt after a major shareholder cashed in - but only for a short time. Medical technology is on the sidelines these days, although companies like Perimeter are working on life-saving technologies.

Linde, dynaCERT, NEL: Time for hydrogen technology
Gas is still flowing from Russia to the West. But the longer the war in Ukraine continues, the more likely it is that even more onerous sanctions will be imposed. In any case, it is clear that the long-term trend is away from Russian gas. Hydrogen suppliers have been profiting for days from the escalation of violence in Ukraine. Transitional technology could also be in demand to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions in equal measure - after all, climate protection must not be neglected despite rising energy prices. We analyze three hydrogen stocks.

dynaCERT, SFC Energy, Coinbase - These are the winners!
The war in Ukraine, which is expected to last even longer, continues to weigh on the stock markets. The majority of the world community is determined to quell Putin's aggressiveness with all kinds of sanctions and bans, costing them a lot. More and more Western oil companies are leaving Russia. The share price of Gazprom, the world's largest producer of natural gas, has been pulverized in recent days. However, some sectors should also benefit from this mixed situation.
