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.

    Daily updates continue to emerge on efforts to rein in Iran. President Donald Trump claims to have already achieved all war objectives. Yet, the Iranians appear surprisingly self-confident for a nation portrayed as defeated, pushing back against the media narrative surrounding their willingness to negotiate. Meanwhile, the German government has introduced a new fuel pricing law. Since April 1, a package of measures aimed at curbing price increases has come into effect. In the future, price increases will only be permitted once per day at 12:00 noon, while price reductions remain possible at any time. The law was drafted based on common practice in Austria and is intended to provide greater transparency and stability. However, the initial effect was mixed: although the Brent spot price fell by 7% at midday and the euro weakened against the US dollar, fuel prices did not decline accordingly.

    Is hydrogen on the verge of a breakthrough in logistics? Rising costs for fossil fuels are colliding with regulatory pressure and technological maturity. While battery-electric vehicles are already established in light urban delivery traffic, heavy payloads are also expected to be transported as CO2-neutrally as possible in the future. This is where pure battery technology reaches its limits in heavy, long-haul transport and intensive industrial logistics. Hydrogen is becoming increasingly important in this context, as it enables significantly longer ranges and shorter refueling times for intensive delivery operations compared to pure battery vehicles. While corporations like Linde are planning the necessary refueling infrastructure and hydrogen supply on a large scale, major fleet operators such as Amazon are increasingly exploring the use of fuel cells. In this market environment, First Hydrogen is positioning itself as a one-stop provider. With its light commercial vehicles, specifically developed for the demands of distribution transport and capable of ranges exceeding 600 km, as well as offerings centered on green hydrogen production, the company is striking a chord.

    At the crossroads of a fragile world order, the energy crisis is escalating from a marginal political issue to a matter of economic survival. Geopolitical upheavals have destabilized fossil fuel markets, while artificial intelligence's insatiable hunger for computing power is causing demand for stable energy to skyrocket. The future belongs not to a single energy source, but to a pragmatic symbiosis. In this tense landscape, clear winners are emerging for the next phase of growth. BP, as the backbone of the transition supply, secures fossil fuels; Stallion Uranium provides the indispensable, emission-free baseload for the AI revolution; and Nordex, as the driver of scaling in the renewable energy sector, sets the standard for expansion.
