Movement in the hydrogen sector: What are Nel ASA, ThyssenKrupp and dynaCERT doing?

  • Hydrogen
  • greenhydrogen
  • renewableenergies

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.

Correction in Greentech shares Varta and Nordex - Manuka Resources becomes a gamechanger

The goals of the climate protectionists are being delayed. With the Building Energy Act unlikely to arrive until 2025, the construction of the Tesla Gigafactory in Brandenburg will also be further delayed. Tesla has determined that the 300 hectares of factory space officially approved in 2022 is not quite enough. However, the latest planning for 400 hectares is meeting with resistance, especially from environmental groups. The municipalities are accused of planning chaos and failure to comply with environmental regulations. The climate-neutral future requires tremendous efforts because time is pressing. The stock market also seems to have run too far on many issues and urgently needs a break from its permanent upward trend. Pay attention to the following stocks.

Plug Power, Canadian North Resources, RWE - Critical metals as a sticking point

  • Mining
  • Commodities
  • Electromobility
  • renewableenergies

The dream of a climate-neutral world still exists, at least in the minds of politicians. Thus, many companies that took on the transformation of the transport and energy sectors were also given plenty of advance praise. However, there are still problems with the implementation and the leap into the profit zone. One reason for the weakening margins is the raw materials needed for the energy transition, which are still at high levels. However, due to the scarcity of many critical metals, a reduction in base prices is likely to remain a pipe dream.

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.

Commerzbank, Blackrock Silver, JinkoSolar - Banking crisis fuels demand for precious metals

  • Banking

May 3 was marked by the decision of the FED. The experts expect this to be the last interest rate hike for the time being. The interest rate increases of the past months have led customers to withdraw their money from the banks, which, however, had put the money into long-term government bonds that had fallen in value. Accordingly, First Republic was the next victim and the assets were sold to JP Morgan. Despite the interest rate hikes, inflation remains at a high level. This is one of the reasons why precious metals such as gold and silver have made significant gains recently. Silver is essential in many industrial sectors, especially in the production of solar panels.

Drought in southern Spain, gloomy weather in Germany - that climate change will also make itself felt in 2023 is already apparent now, at the beginning of May. In view of climate change, some authors are already calling for an end to the pursuit of growth. But is that worth striving for, and can it even be implemented in liberal democracies? We shed light on the limits of cuts and where technology could make climate protection possible without cuts.

The copper war! Nordex, Orestone Mining, Nel ASA, ThyssenKrupp - Shortage of copper weighs on Greentech expansion

  • GreenTech

The World Copper Conference 2023 took place in Chile in mid-April. According to the experts, the global energy turnaround requires huge investments in new industrial metal mines, especially copper. The red metal has become very rare, and the large deposits are working at their capacity limits. One figure made the conference participants turn pale. According to estimates by the International Copper Association (ICA), at least USD 105 billion must be invested to provide enough mining capacity for the upcoming demand. Converted into quantities, this means 6.5 million tonnes more than the production from 2022. Anyone hearing these figures doubts the successful solution to climate change. Some stocks are to be considered in this context.

ThyssenKrupp, Defense Metals, Rheinmetall - US subsidizes rare earths

Rare earths have long been on the list of critical metals in the US and Europe. As tensions build between the US and China over Taiwan, it is important to remember how critical rare earths are. Currently, China has a virtual monopoly, especially in terms of refining. In addition to high-tech products such as smartphones, the critical raw material is needed for steel alloys, in the military and above all, for the energy transition, including electric vehicles. The US now wants to promote the mining of rare earths in its own country and rewards this with a tax credit of up to USD 30 per kg. We, therefore, look at 3 companies that rely on rare earths.
