Hydrogen turnaround? Bad news from Africa: First Hydrogen, thyssenkrupp nucera, BASF
According to a report in Der Spiegel, producing green hydrogen in Africa for export to Europe could be more expensive than previously thought. This is indicated by research conducted by scientists from the Technical University of Munich, Oxford, and ETH Zurich. According to the study, only 2% of around 10,000 sites examined across 31 African countries could produce at competitive costs by 2030. The reason lies in financing. Depending on the country in Africa, financing costs range between 8% and 27%, which is too high to remain competitive. Instead of the planned price guarantees of EUR 3 per kg of hydrogen, the EU would have to guarantee EUR 5 to ensure a reliable flow of hydrogen from Africa to Europe. What does this mean now for the European hydrogen economy?

OPPORTUNITY and WARNING SIGNAL! Heidelberger Druckmaschinen, Steyr major shareholder Mutares, and Pure Hydrogen shares!
Strategic repositioning can drive shares sharply higher - the latest example being Heidelberger Druckmaschinen. The Company plans to participate in the defense boom, and management is buying shares. However, analysts are issuing warnings after the sharp rise in the share price. Pure Hydrogen is preparing to change its name. The Australian company has long offered more than just hydrogen vehicles. Is a new champion for alternative drive systems emerging? While Pure Hydrogen is still in its infancy and investors can speculate on a multiplication of its value, this has already happened at Steyr Motor this year. However, major shareholder Mutares is currently making headlines, with BaFin now investigating, and the stock showing high volatility! Is this an opportunity to get in or a clear warning to stay away?

Hydrogen in Germany – Who will solve the "chicken and egg problem"? Pure Hydrogen, thyssenkrupp, NEL
Germany aims to achieve climate neutrality within twenty years. Hydrogen plays a crucial role in making industry more sustainable. However, as a recent article in Focus magazine shows, Germany has a "chicken and egg problem" when it comes to hydrogen. Planning security is needed to drive the necessary investment in hydrogen infrastructure. But industry is still hesitant, especially in uncertain times; no one wants to stick their neck out too far. This, in turn, does not provide an environment conducive to launching essential prerequisites, such as pipelines, storage facilities, or decentralized electrolysers. What does the future hold for Germany as a hydrogen location? Which stocks could benefit?

What is going on here? Watch out for DroneShield, Pure Hydrogen, and Nel ASA
The stock market is currently taking no prisoners. Megatrends such as AI and high-tech have enabled investors to reap substantial returns over the past two years. But for the past three months, defense and armament stocks have been performing a wild dance on the trading floor. With special public programs to upgrade NATO, investors are expecting billions to flow into companies that maintain a defense segment in their business model. But how can a 600% rise in share prices be justified with just 20% more orders? What if DroneShield disappoints in September? The Australian hydrogen specialist Pure Hydrogen is currently expanding into the US, and much remains to be seen here. So where are the opportunities for investors?

The hot phase for nuclear energy is beginning! Oklo, First Hydrogen, Nel, Siemens Energy, and Plug Power
For a long time, nuclear power was considered a thing of the past; however, a significant shift in energy policy is now underway worldwide. The US is at the forefront of this movement. Under Donald Trump, a comprehensive action plan to rebuild the nuclear industry was recently adopted. The goal is nothing less than to quadruple the country's nuclear power capacity, in particular through the massive expansion of small modular reactors (SMRs), which are compact, decentralized mini nuclear power plants. They are considered efficient, safe, and scalable. The message is clear: the United States wants to regain its position as the dominant nuclear power, both in terms of energy policy and technology. Which companies are in the spotlight?

The end of combustion engines? Why Volkswagen, dynaCERT, and Daimler Truck are still cashing in on cleantech
The mobility industry is undergoing a significant upheaval. Stricter CO2 limits are forcing automotive giants and, above all, the transportation industry to undergo a radical transformation. Transportation accounts for approximately 25% of the world's total emissions. The EU is pushing ahead with strict decarbonization targets. By 2030, new vehicles and trucks will have to emit 55% less CO2. Companies are running out of time. Innovations must pay off, or they are out of the game. Volkswagen is revolutionizing fleet emissions by pushing ahead with electromobility, dynaCERT is optimizing existing diesel engines, and Daimler Truck is driving sustainable logistics forward with electric and hydrogen powertrains.
