Electric vehicles, batteries, wind power: How Volkswagen, Graphano Energy, and Nordex are winning at the energy transition poker game
The energy and mobility transformation is accelerating rapidly. Driven by regulatory requirements and technological leaps, a billion-dollar market is emerging that is breaking down traditional industry boundaries. The key lies in the symbiosis of clean energy, powerful storage, and electric transportation. In this ecosystem of the future, three specialized players are reshaping the value chain. Volkswagen is a giant in the automotive industry, Graphano Energy is an explorer of critical battery raw materials, and Nordex is a pioneer in wind power. Which companies will be the winners of this upheaval?

Varta, Nordex, Nevada Copper, JinkoSolar: supply chain broken, copper is the new gold!
Global copper inventories and production rates are currently below the level of recent years. This is due to the limited availability of new projects, which can only be put into production slowly and will still consume some investment. In copper recycling, the industry is making progress, but the necessary rates of increase to supply new markets remain too low. Then there are the troubled supply chains, which make it difficult to move larger volumes of raw material at the moment. In the first four months of 2022, copper inventories on commodity futures exchanges were below 2021 levels, and LME inventories in London are likely to fall further because of the demand-pull. The physical copper shortage is not hysteria - it is now a reality on the exchange with spot prices above USD 10,000. Where are the opportunities for investors willing to take risks?

Siemens, Vestas, Defense Metals: So the wind blows!
E-mobility drives alternative energies. All efforts to make the world even simpler and more technical are driving electrical energy consumption to undreamt-of heights. The largest consumer is the industry with a share of 42%, followed by private households with 27% and commerce with 22% (others 8%). To generate this demand, the worldwide share of renewable energies has risen from 5.7 to 13.6% in the last ten years. The 20% mark is expected to be reached in 2025. The most important producer of renewable energy is China, with 759 gigawatts per year, uncatchable, followed by the USA, Brazil, and India. Germany is ahead of Canada, in 5th place, with 125 gigawatts. Wind power has a global share of about 1.5%, water 2.5% - oil as the leading energy source still has a high 32% share.
