First Phosphate, Volkswagen and Vonovia - Winners in climate poker
On March 26, the residents of Berlin will vote on whether their city should become climate neutral by 2030 - 3.6 million inhabitants travel daily by car, bus and train. For mineral explorer companies like First Phosphate, the potential acceleration in demand is already a win-win, as demand for basic materials for batteries increases dramatically. Volkswagen, for example, may soon launch large-scale industrial production of cathode materials (CAM) and precursor materials (PCAM) in Europe, thanks to the go-ahead from regulators. Vonovia is also getting enterprising: the group owns 136,000 apartments in Berlin.

Armaments and e-mobility! Rheinmetall, Almonty Industries, Mercedes-Benz - Rare raw materials in demand as never before!
The climate and energy transition are taking their toll. Long approval phases, too little exploration and a lack of investment capital have caused the supply of raw materials to decline over the past 10 years. These deficits are increasingly showing up as a problem for industry. In copper alone, there is a USD 100 billion investment deficit. In the EU, it is estimated that there is an investment backlog of EUR 300 billion to even come close to achieving the proclaimed climate targets. To reach climate targets, copper, nickel, lithium, zinc, special metals like tungsten, and rare earths are needed. Which values should you bet on now?

Tocvan Ventures, JinkoSolar, Commerzbank - With gold and silver towards a real energy turnaround
Gold and silver prices will continue to rise in 2023, as a weaker US dollar and loose monetary policy should drive precious metals higher. There is great joy at Tocvan Ventures in light of the latest drilling results. The team expects the Pilar area to produce similar results to other miners in the region. Precious metals are finding great sales in the solar industry. Investors will learn today the business results of solar panel manufacturer JinkoSolar. The Chinese company has recently been allowed to export to the US again. Commerzbank has to cope with a touch of greenwashing; a district court made a momentous judgement for a subsidiary.

Nel ASA, First Hydrogen, Landi Renzo, Plug Power - Hydrogen: The 2nd row is booming
For climate protection and a secure energy supply, the Western world must become independent of fossil fuels. Hydrogen plays a key role in climate change as a substitute for natural gas, oil, and coal. Despite programs worth billions of euros from politicians and excellent prospects for the future, the largest companies in the hydrogen and fuel sector, such as Nel ASA and Plug Power, are still undergoing a profound correction. In contrast, it is mainly second-tier companies attracting attention that could catch up soon based on their technology.

Hydrogen shares - Environmental technology to take off in 2023: Plug Power, dynaCERT, ThyssenKrupp and Uniper
As we look ahead into the new year 2023, hydrogen technology could positively contribute to the energy transition for the first time. The key factors are the stroke rate, the price and the quantity that can be generated in an environmentally friendly manner to industrial standards. Plug Power, one of the market leaders in modern fuel cell systems, will bring H2 technology to market in large-scale production. Canada's dynaCERT is already delivering good H2 augmentation systems, and Germany could once again become an engineering hub. Where are the opportunities for investors?

JinkoSolar, TubeSolar, Nordex - Biden's promise brings tailwind
The 2022 UN Climate Change Conference in Sharm El-Sheikh has been underway since November 6. UN Secretary-General Guterres said, "We are on the highway to climate hell with our foot on the gas pedal." If the world wants to make a difference, the major polluters must significantly reduce their CO2 emissions. The US, which ranks second only to China, seems willing to do so. US President Biden promised that the US will achieve the climate targets set by 2030. According to this, CO2 emissions will fall by 50% compared to 2005. Biden referred to the Inflation Control Act, from which around USD 370 billion is to flow into climate protection. Renewable energies play a major role here. Today we take a look at three companies from the sector.

Geely, Kodiak Copper, Aston Martin Lagonda - Copper with the next chance
If investors had followed the sensitive early economic indicator, they would have been spared a loss of almost 25% in the DAX alone. Because already at the beginning of March, the copper price showed the first signs of fatigue after climbing to a new all-time high of USD 10,813.36 per ton. Almost half a year later, the red metal is not only trading more than 20% lower, but the recession has already arrived globally. However, despite the economic downturn, global demand for the red metal far exceeds supply. Due to the upgrading of renewable energies, the gap is likely to widen even further in the next few years, which argues for a rising base price in the long term.

German economy is in danger of crashing: E.ON, Globex Mining, Deutsche Bank and Commerzbank in focus
Germany's free-market decline continues vehemently. After using about 40% of imported gas for electricity in recent years, local utilities now lack real alternatives. Prices are rising dramatically, and gas, in particular, seems to know only one direction - up! The dependence on energy imports and the intended sanctioning is becoming a price driver for local utilities, electricity production and thus the entire economy. As yet, there is little evidence of the benefits of the said climate change; so far, only the cost increases are noticeable. Shareholders should be alert to which areas could soon be affected.

FuelCell Energy, dynaCERT, Linde - Tenbagger opportunities in the hydrogen sector
The goal of gaining independence from Russian oil and gas is pushing politicians to find forward-looking alternative solutions. An agreement between Canada and Germany was reached at the end of August, representing a quantum leap for the hydrogen sector. Hydrogen is seen as a key element in the transport sector for achieving climate targets. At the moment, many companies are still in correction mode. As a result, there are attractive opportunities for disproportionate share price gains in the long term.

JinkoSolar, Alpha Copper, Rheinmetall - Green revolution pushes the market
Over USD 10,800 was paid for a ton of copper last year. Rising demand due to climate neutrality lifted the red metal to new highs. However, the metal, which is known as an economic indicator, is currently undergoing a correction due to rising fears of recession. It has lost around a quarter of its value since the beginning of the year. In the long term, however, demand is enormous due to the achievement of climate targets. Experts forecast that more copper will be mined in the next 25 years than in the entire history of humanity. Thus, copper companies at corrected levels offer attractive long-term investment opportunities.
