First Hydrogen, Volkswagen, Amazon - The green future begins in Canada
The green future is starting in Canada. By joining the "Hydrogène Québec" alliance, the Canadian company First Hydrogen is driving decarbonization forward. With renowned partners such as Toyota, Air Liquide and Hyundai, the Company strives to accelerate the mobility industry's energy transition. First Hydrogen offers fleet operators a competitive solution for a smooth transition to zero-emission drive systems with clean, green energy. Volkswagen is testing innovative processes in the coating of energy carriers at its battery factory in Salzgitter. In the banking sector, AI is advancing: BBVA is using Amazon's AWS to create a global data platform. This provides automated business and market information, improves efficiency and wins new customers.

Second hydrogen wave launched - Plug Power, dynaCERT, Ballard Power
It is well known that green hydrogen has been identified by both industry and politicians alike as a key element for the energy transition. At the beginning of the decade, shares in the sector became the new darlings of the stock market and were given advance praise and valuations in the billions. However, the sector is still struggling with problems such as the high price of gas and the still undeveloped infrastructure. As a result, even market leaders in the sector have lost more than 50% of their stock market value. This presents a long-term opportunity to participate in the future market of hydrogen.

Nel ASA, First Hydrogen, Plug Power - Paving the way for hydrogen technology
Germany has shut down its nuclear power plants, and now the expansion of renewable energies is to be accelerated. But what happens to the surplus electricity when the sun shines all day? In order not to overload the grids, the energy is given away to neighbouring countries. In the future, it will be turned into green hydrogen that can cover the energy needs of industry and the transport sector. On May 25, the Federal Cabinet passed an amendment to the Energy Industry Act that defines the legal framework for a future hydrogen core network in Germany. Hydrogen technology will not only prevail in Germany. We, therefore, take a look at three international hydrogen companies.

Hydrogen drumbeat - where things can move quickly now: Plug Power, NEL, dynaCERT
Green hydrogen is becoming a key technology for the industry in the fight against climate change. Wirtschaftswoche reports that by 2030, a whopping 13 million tons of hydrogen will be produced annually in Europe. But the necessary investments are still lacking. In the US, USD 10 billion have already been invested in hydrogen projects, while in Europe, only 7. In order for Europe to reach its goals, it must move faster. But this much already seems certain: companies in the hydrogen sector are facing an exciting phase - we take a closer look at three stocks.

FREYR Battery, dynaCERT, BYD - Speed beats engineering and bureaucracy
The hunt is on for high-performance powertrains! Industry-experienced Canadian hydrogen technology company dynaCERT shines with a new collaboration with Cipher Neutron. Together they are creating an electrolyzer cell that will produce 28 times more hydrogen gas than conventional cells. FREYR Battery is also making progress with its battery gigafactories, but soon on the other side of the Atlantic due to tax advantages, as the domestic government in Norway seems too slow. Progress could be faster at Volkswagen. What good is German engineering when rival BYD is not only selling cars at a breathtaking speed but also securing battery production in China for the Company's own growth? We provide an overview.

Movement in the hydrogen sector: What are Nel ASA, ThyssenKrupp and dynaCERT doing?
There never seems to be a dull moment in the hydrogen sector. After the horror figures and the announced capital measure at Plug Power, Stellantis' investment in Symbio is a positive signal for the sector. French Symbio is focused on zero-emission hydrogen mobility and was previously owned by the Forvia Group and tyre manufacturer Michelin. Now Stellantis, the third largest car manufacturer in the world with brands like Peugeot, Opel and Fiat, has acquired a 33.3% stake. According to Stellantis, hydrogen fuel cells are necessary to achieve climate protection goals. dynaCERT also wants to contribute to this. Perhaps a big partner will soon join the Canadians? And what is the hydrogen pioneer Nel ASA doing with its partner General Motors? ThyssenKrupp is making its subsidiary look good for the hydrogen IPO.

Panic at Plug Power: Hydrogen specialists Nel and First Hydrogen convince
Is the wheat being separated from the chaff in the hydrogen sector? This is the impression one could get in the last few weeks. First, Nel convinced with its quarterly figures. The Norwegians are finally getting a grip on their margins and are building the next gigawatt factory in the US. First Hydrogen is also investing in North America. A new site for the production of hydrogen and fuel cell commercial vehicles is to be built in Canada. Plug Power, on the other hand, has its work cut out. The US company disappointed with its quarterly figures on Monday evening. In addition, capital measures were announced. The share price fell by almost 10% in German trading yesterday.

Analysts in full swing - Nel ASA, dynaCERT, Enphase Energy
Technology companies, in particular, had their turn last week to present their first-quarter figures to the broad investor community. The Facebook group Meta exceeded its profit forecasts, and the technology giant Microsoft also impressed with its profit and turnover. In contrast, the picture in the second tier was mixed. The battery manufacturer Varta recorded significant losses. Another stock from the renewable energy segment experienced a massive sell-off, and analysts reacted promptly.

Hydrogen from oil and gas? How fossil fuels are to become green: ThyssenKrupp, Saturn Oil + Gas, Nordex
The Hanover Fair took place last week. Much of the event revolved around climate change and its role in industry. If you ask industrial companies today, almost all are expanding their hydrogen business. A thought experiment by the Max Planck Society now opens up a new perspective for hydrogen: new processes could make hydrogen sustainable from fossil materials. We look at what is at stake and what this could mean for the companies involved.

100 gigawatts by 2030 - Hydrogen to the rescue! What happens to Plug Power, dynaCERT, Nel ASA and ThyssenKrupp?
According to various surveys, the installed capacity for hydrogen is currently just 1.75 gigawatts. Nuclear power is history, but still, Germany wants to become climate neutral by 2045 at the latest. How is this to be achieved? The EU has set some guidelines and wants to install 100 gigawatts of green hydrogen by 2030. That would require more than 60 times as many electrolyzers as today for Ursula von der Leyen's plan to work. The cost of research, development and production, including infrastructure, is about EUR 2.5 trillion, which EU citizens are expected to pay for a lower-emission future. What should investors pay particular attention to on the stock market now?
