ESG criteria have become established across all industries. The prevailing principle in today's business world is that even producers of fossil energy must take action to become more sustainable. This principle is known as "Best-in-Class" and ensures that every industry makes the most of its opportunities to move toward greater sustainability. We present three exciting sustainable business models - Shell, Siemens, and dynaCERT - and explain where opportunities may lie for investors.

    Even Shell aims to become climate-neutral

    It has been clear for many years that oil company Shell needs a sustainability strategy. More than ten years ago, Shell was a prime example of the risks associated with oil production. The accident on an oil platform kept the media in suspense. Shell was considered severely damaged – billions in compensation payments were in the air. And today? Shell is pursuing its "Performance, Discipline, Simplification" strategy and is focusing more on LNG growth while investing in low-carbon energy solutions. The Company plans to increase LNG revenue by 4 to 5% annually by 2030, while oil production is to remain stable at 1.4 million barrels per day. Between 2023 and 2025 alone, the energy company invested USD 10 to 15 billion in low-carbon energy solutions. A flagship project is Holland Hydrogen I, Europe's largest renewable hydrogen plant with a capacity of 200 MW, which is expected to produce 60,000 kg of green hydrogen per day. Shell aims to become climate-neutral by 2050.

    dynaCERT: Transition technology for heavy machinery

    Canadian company dynaCERT also aims to benefit from the shift of many traditional industrial companies toward hydrogen. The pioneers of conversion kits for diesel engines have long identified heavy machinery as a key growth market. dynaCERT owns the patented HydraGEN™ technology, which uses small injections of hydrogen into the combustion process of diesel engines to reduce diesel consumption and, at the same time, pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions. Using their telematics solution, HydraLytica™, companies can even document their savings and convert them into CO2 certificates. dynaCERT has been certified under Verra's Carbon Credit Methodology.**

    There are still millions of vehicles and machines powered by diesel. Especially in times when investments are difficult, dynaCERT's transition technology can leverage ESG potential and give proven machines and vehicles a longer service life. Heavy machinery, in particular, which has often been integrated into operational processes for many years and proven its reliability, can be operated longer thanks to dynaCERT. In recent years, the Company has increasingly reached out to industrial clients. dynaCERT even established a branch in Germany and is now competing for customers there. The analysts at GBC have issued a "Buy" recommendation for the stock, with an ambitious price target of CAD 0.75. GBC forecasts revenues of CAD 21 million for 2025, representing significant growth. For 2026, they expect an operating result (EBITDA) of CAD 4.79 million. If this happens, it would mark a turning point for the Company, which has been working toward this breakthrough for some time.

    Siemens: Digitalization and sustainability

    Siemens proves that it can be well worth building bridges between old and new industries through innovative technology and digitalization. A central component of its strategy for the future is industrial AI. At Automate 2025, Siemens announced an expansion of its Industrial AI offerings with advanced AI agents that are expected to enable productivity increases of up to 50% for industrial companies. Sustainability will not be neglected in this development – the Company has set itself the goal of becoming climate-neutral by 2030. In the second quarter of fiscal 2025, Siemens achieved strong results: Revenue rose by 3% to EUR 18.4 billion, while order intake increased significantly. The Smart Infrastructure business segment, which is important for the Company's ESG requirements, is expected to grow between 6% and 9% in fiscal 2025.

    When could this stock surprise?

    The Siemens share climbed by 14.2% in the last six months and could show renewed momentum beyond the EUR 220 mark. Shell shares, on the other hand, have suffered a setback – the temporary ceasefire in the Middle East has abruptly halted the upward momentum of the shares. Shell's sustainability fantasy has not yet had an impact on the share price. The situation is similar for growth stock dynaCERT, whose share price has lost around 25% over the past six months. However, given its small market capitalization of just around EUR 40 million, a surprise is always in the air with dynaCERT: should major orders or a comprehensive partnership with an industrial company materialize, the stock will likely face a revaluation.

    Energy Power Shift: US on the Rise, EU Under Pressure – A Look at Standard Uranium, E.ON, ITM, and Plug Power

    The next wave of the AI revolution will be decided not by algorithms, but by megawatts. The US energy agency, the IEA, projects that data center electricity consumption will rise to just under 1,000 TWh by 2030. An analysis by Goldman Sachs goes even further, forecasting that electricity demand driven by AI workloads could rise by up to 160% over the same period. This brings an often-underestimated question to the forefront of the capital markets: Who will supply the energy for the digital age? Utilities like E.ON and hydrogen specialists such as ITM Power and Plug Power are small cogs in a large machine room. Countries like China, the US, and the dynamic EU member Poland have recognized the challenges and are mobilizing for their next phase of nuclear expansion. The race for electricity is on, and it will determine who will be among the big winners in the AI era. Globally, uranium production remains concentrated in just a few regions. This makes the market vulnerable to supply disruptions, permitting risks, and geopolitical disruptions. Standard Uranium demonstrates what consistent exploration can look like at a time when demand for uranium to fuel new power plant capacity is rising. It is worth taking a closer look.

    Hydrogen Setback: BASF and Linde Focus on Large-Scale Projects—Could Decentralized Solutions Put A.H.T. Syngas in the Spotlight?

    The energy transition is unstoppable. Even industrial companies can no longer avoid finding innovative solutions involving synthesis gas or hydrogen. To meet the rapidly rising demand for green hydrogen in particular, policymakers and corporations are relying on pipelines and large-scale projects. The European RED III directive requires the chemical industry to achieve a 42% share of green hydrogen by 2030—which, according to market researchers, will require investments in the double-digit billions. However, since the expansion of Germany's pipeline network is proceeding slowly, many companies are facing a supply gap. The industry is addressing this gap in two ways: large corporations are focusing on large-scale solutions, while specialized providers such as A.H.T. Syngas are advancing decentralized solutions. We examine the situation and highlight opportunities.

    The discussion about the future of mobility is currently dominated by electric vehicles and hydrogen, both of which meet the vision of zero-emission transportation. But the road ahead is long; further technological advances and, in particular, the expansion of infrastructure pose challenges. Another crucial factor is often overlooked. In heavy-duty transport in particular, diesel forms the backbone of global logistics and will continue to do so for decades to come. This is precisely where dynaCERT comes in with an innovative bridging technology. The Canadian company's retrofit solution generates hydrogen and oxygen on board as needed. These are fed into the intake system of diesel engines, thereby reducing fuel consumption and emissions. Is a billion-dollar market on the horizon?
