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.

    Gas shortages and the USD 150 bet on oil! Caution advised for Shell, BP, A.H.T. Syngas, and Plug Power

    The daily news offers little reassurance for investors. Burning refineries, damaged oil tankers, and air battles over the planet's most oil-rich region mean extreme tension and volatility for the international capital markets. Despite all the horror, the financial carousel continues to turn. Institutional and private investors worldwide are sitting on USD 250 trillion in assets seeking investment opportunities. This keeps capital flows alive and encourages millions of people to keep an eye on the flashing prices. Energy companies are currently moving to the top of the list of interests, while some previously favored high-tech and AI stocks are currently consolidating. In this environment, it is worth looking not only at multinationals such as Shell or BP, but also at specialty stocks such as A.H.T. Syngas or Plug Power. They address the challenges of the times and must demonstrate how they can deliver operational performance in this environment. We take a closer look at the numbers.

    The hydrogen economy is coming of age. After years of political debate and countless industry prototypes and visions, the sector is now entering a phase of industrial maturity. Industry experts describe the current year as decisive, as projects with solid economics are now separating themselves from purely politically driven initiatives. While Norwegian pioneer Nel is building the infrastructure for green hydrogen at gigawatt scale through mass production of highly efficient electrolysers, Ballard Power Systems is delivering solutions for emission-free heavy-duty and passenger transport with proven fuel cell modules. The Australian company Pure One Corporation covers the entire value chain. With its "end-to-end ecosystem," the company bridges the gap between production and application, enabling seamless adoption of CO2-free logistics solutions. Investors are in an exciting phase in which hydrogen is being reevaluated as an energy source for industry.

    The politically driven energy transition was meant to change a lot, but while many are still discussing distant dreams, three companies are already creating tangible results today. This goes beyond environmental protection; it is about the radical conversion of waste into valuable energy and helping heavy industry avoid CO2 collapse. Among them, Canada's CHAR Technologies stands out, making the virtually impossible possible with a unique high-temperature technology and recently raising fresh capital for its next big leap. CHAR is not alone. In Germany, heavyweights such as 2G Energy and Verbio are proving that biogas and highly efficient combined heat and power are no longer niche topics, but can make stock market prices soar. These three stocks could form the backbone of a green portfolio in 2026, provided the overall market and political conditions are favorable. Here is why these three stocks, in particular, could boost your portfolio.
