Nel ASA, dynaCERT, Plug Power - Hydrogen as the problem solver in the energy transition
Hydrogen is essential to the energy transition because it can solve many of today's problems. One of these problems is that wind and solar energy are difficult to plan. Since they produce irregularly, the surplus on sunny days or windy days must be stored. This is how green hydrogen is produced, which can solve the problem of fossil fuels in the field of mobility solutions. Current electric solutions are not yet convincing, especially for freight transport, but this is where most CO2 is produced. With hydrogen, vehicles have more range and, most importantly, shorter charging times. We look at three companies that have built their business using hydrogen.

Defense Metals, Rheinmetall, Encavis - New technologies cannot do without this critical raw material
What do metal alloys, magnets, phosphors, ceramics, glass, catalysts and chemical processes need to function well? Rare earths - a critical raw material that is primarily processed in China. Without this raw material, there are no smartphones, computers, wind turbines or electric vehicles. There have been tensions between China and the United States for some time. If these tensions escalate and China stops its rare earth supplies, the Western world will have a problem. As demand for rare earths continues to rise, it is important to ensure sufficient supplies to meet the growing demands of the technology industry.

Hydrogen shares: New favourites First Hydrogen and PNE instead of Plug Power and ITM Power?
Hydrogen stocks have electrified investors' imaginations for years. But 2022 pure plays like Plug Power, Nel and ITM Power have disappointed. Not just in terms of share price performance but operationally as well. In contrast, newcomer First Hydrogen was one of the high flyers. The share price shot up by more than 100%, and the hydrogen commercial vehicles passed the tests. The Canadians want to continue to step on the gas in the current year. The share should benefit from this again; at CAD 200 million, it does not appear expensive. Now the German PNE is also entering the billion-dollar market. Following the end of takeover speculation, new impetus from green hydrogen is welcome. ITM Power sends a sign of life with an order from Linde.

Copper on the rise: Kodiak Copper, BASF and JinkoSolar benefit
Global copper demand is estimated to double by 2035, requiring new mines, mine expansions and technological improvements at existing mines to boost production. One beneficiary of this boom is Kodiak Copper. Assay results from the recently completed drilling in late 2022 have increased the known mineralized envelope at both the Gate & Prime Zone discoveries at its British Columbia project. At the 6th International Investment Forum on February 15, CEO Claudia Tornquist will share more about this with interested investors. BASF is also taking steps to bridge the looming copper shortages due to high demand. A new cooperation is expected to accelerate copper mining. JinkoSolar, on the other hand, as a user of the highly sought-after metal, has struck another new deal. Hedge fund managers are excited.

Big surprise for Tesla hunter BYD and JinkoSolar: when will dynaCERT share takeoff?
Now, this would be a real surprise: Will Tesla hunter BYD soon not only sell its e-cars in Germany but also produce them? According to media reports, the Chinese carmaker is talking to Ford about buying the plant in Saarlouis. Another Chinese group is also continuing to go full throttle: JinkoSolar. The solar group reports strong figures, the start of construction of a reference project and analysts increase the price target for the share. Investors are also waiting for a big bang from dynaCERT. The cleantech company wants to enter into trading with emission certificates. In addition, sales figures are increasing in the core business.

Fission Uranium, GoviEx, Cameco - Uranium: New supercycle on the horizon
The international community sees an urgent need to make electricity generation carbon-free to protect people and the planet from the dangers of air pollution and climate change. To be able to cover this with sustainable energy, nuclear energy is essential, in addition to the expansion of wind and solar power. With the exception of Germany, the largest industrialized countries are focusing on building new reactors. However, due to the sanctions against Russia, increasing demand is being met by an insufficient supply of uranium. The beneficiaries of this shortage are uranium producers from Western countries.

The market for electricity storage to pick up speed by 2030: RWE, Nordex, Altech Advanced Materials
Being in on the action from the start is the dream of many investors. Imagine: Having bought shares of Amazon or Alphabet decades ago - you could also get rich with BYD over the decades. But there are new opportunities. By 2030, stationary energy storage will be the next big thing. Electricity grids must be stable, and energy from renewable sources must be stored for this purpose. Recently, RWE brought new giant batteries online and is planning much more. For some companies, enormous opportunities are emerging.

Blackout warning in the south - here's what's behind it: BASF, Manuka Resources, NEL
Last Sunday, operators of power grids in Baden-Württemberg advised people to refrain from unnecessary power consumption from 5 pm onwards because otherwise, energy would have to be imported from abroad. Plans around the mandatory installation of smart electricity meters had previously been made public. This shows that the energy transition is coming - whatever the cost. We look at three shares with a green future at exciting chart points.

Auxico Resources, BYD, Nordex - Energy transition in danger: shortage of critical raw materials
The energy transition, i.e. the transition to a sustainable, low-carbon and renewable energy supply, is an important step in combating the climate crisis. However, some critical raw materials are needed for the expansion of renewable energies and whose scarcity can pose a threat to the energy transition. These include, for example, rare earths, cobalt and lithium, which are used in the manufacture of solar panels, wind turbines and electric cars. In this context, one should not underestimate the current dependence on China, which has a monopoly position, especially in rare earths. We therefore take a look at three companies around the energy transition.

TotalEnergies, Saturn Oil + Gas, Shell - Energy shares as a booster for the portfolio
Now it is here, the oil embargo against Russia. The oil price was volatile before, and now with the new sanctions, it could get even more chaotic. The International Energy Agency fears that Russia could significantly reduce its oil production. That would cause the supply on the market to drop sharply and the oil price to rise. If there is a global recession, this will reduce demand, but due to the steadily increasing population, the need for oil continues to grow. As of November, there are 8 billion people living on our planet. The supply of oil will remain important in the coming years. We, therefore, take a look at three companies in the sector.
