Standard Lithium, Noram Lithium, American Lithium - Mega Demand, Mega Opportunity
The US added lithium to its list of critical minerals back in 2017. Due to the ever-increasing emergence of electric vehicles, which is tantamount to a revolution in the automotive industry, the price of lithium increased massively in 2021. Current production capacities are not sufficient to satisfy the growing lithium hunger. In addition, China dominates the global supply chain. If independence is desired, the rest of the world will have to build capacity itself. According to experts, North America could become a competitor. So today, we look at three lithium companies from the region.

Gold rush in the lithium market: BMW, Yorkton Ventures, Rock Tech Lithium
An entire industry is turning itself inside out. The revolution in the car market will pick up speed in the coming years. As a study by Deloitte shows, sales of battery-powered vehicles could rise from 210,000 in 2022 to 960,000 in 2030. Between 2022 and 2026 alone, market experts expect sales of electric cars in Germany to double. So it is no wonder that a gold-rush mood is already spreading around some companies. We take a closer look at three shares.

BYD, Yorkton Ventures, BMW - An expensive boom
The electric carmakers' annual figures are out, and they show rapid growth for both BYD and BMW. Despite the pandemic and the shortage of semiconductors, the automakers were able to double deliveries in some cases. The industry also expects a continued boom in e-mobility in 2022. The Association of International Motor Vehicle Manufacturers forecasts around 850,000 new registrations for electric vehicles in Germany in 2022. In addition to the sales figures, however, the prices for the raw materials required are also growing. Lithium alone, which is essential for batteries, has more than tripled in price since June of last year and is currently reaching new highs almost daily.

BYD, Noram Lithium, NIO: The lithium market is developing a life of its own
Chinese state capitalism is characterized by promotion and demand. Young technology has always found good conditions in China. But as soon as companies become too powerful for Beijing, they face headwinds - or at least have to stand firmly on their own two feet. Most recently, the central government announced that it would provide less support to automakers like BYD and NIO in the future. We explain what this means for investors and whether there are alternatives.

Noram Lithium, Varta, Allkem - Profit from the growing hunger for lithium!
Along with cobalt and manganese, lithium is one of the raw materials of the mobility revolution. The silvery white-grey light metal is needed to produce rechargeable batteries with a very high energy density, such as those used in electric cars. Demand is growing enormously, but there is insufficient production capacity. As a result of this constellation, the price of battery-grade lithium carbonate has risen fivefold in the last year and a half. And it does not look like the situation will ease. Mining group Rio Tinto warns that in the future, only 15% of the supply deficit of battery-grade lithium carbonate can be extracted from existing projects. Lithium producers and explorers will benefit from these conditions. Which lithium stock will make the running this year?

Daimler, Noram Lithium, Nikola - This is the breakthrough
The global race to achieve set climate targets is on in (almost) all countries. The transport sector poses a particular challenge. Despite the development of more efficient vehicles, CO2 emissions have risen over the past twenty years. The switch from cars with combustion engines to alternative energy sources must be further accelerated. While battery-powered vehicles are ahead in the passenger car sector, fuel cells are more appealing for heavier vehicles.

Standard Lithium, Altech Advanced Materials, BASF - The super battery for 2022!
Whether e-mobility, aircraft technology or renewable energies, virtually all high-tech segments are looking for a suitable energy storage device. The development driver is climate protection, which will put mobility and energy generation and distribution on a new footing in the future. More environmentally friendly battery production processes are required to bring e-mobility to a level of efficiency similar to the most modern diesel technology, as well as a significant increase in performance with a simultaneous extension of service life. After all, what good is it if a vehicle eliminates emissions during operation but creates multiple pollutions during production and disposal of the energy cell? We highlight some of the companies at the heart of the technical revolution.

Rock Tech Lithium, Noram Lithium, Volkswagen: The highflyers of tomorrow
Today, batteries for electric cars are still primarily imported from Asia. But soon, most batteries manufactured in Germany should also come from Germany. A number of factories are already under construction in Salzgitter, Göttingen, Erfurt, Kaiserslautern and Grünheide. All these production sites are united by the need for lithium. No wonder that this critical element is becoming increasingly expensive. Shares in lithium companies, therefore, offer opportunities.

Standard Lithium, Noram Lithium, American Lithium, Orocobre - Lithium at USD 25,000?
A shift toward electric drive is taking place faster than expected in the mobility of the future. "The climate crisis is the greatest challenge of our time," says Herbert Diess, CEO of the Volkswagen Group. Volkswagen was the first automaker to commit to the Paris climate agreement back in 2018. By 2050, the Company aims to be CO2-neutral on its balance sheet. Despite many technical drawbacks, political pressure, public opinion, and various tax incentives are driving some car buyers to the counter for alternative powertrains. For many important raw materials, this is creating increased demand that is currently difficult to meet. We take a look at three interesting investment opportunities in Lithium.

BASF, Osino Resources, Standard Lithium - Why does nobody believe it?
Since inflation rates have been growing, central banks have placated that price increases would only be temporary and would level off next year due to the recovery after the Corona lockdowns. Therefore, an interest rate hike is far from an issue; only the pumping of unlimited money into the capital market is to be slowed down to a snail's pace. If the high inflation rates prove permanent, only one thing will help - the flight into gold.
