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.

    Boom in the Oil Market: How TotalEnergies, Zefiro Methane, and Shell Are Benefiting!

    The price of oil has remained around the USD 100 per barrel mark since the start of the war in the Persian Gulf. According to market experts and CEOs of various companies, shortages could occur in Europe in the coming weeks. This applies to both the supply of Europe's vehicle fleet and air traffic. That is because the price of jet fuel has nearly doubled since the end of February. Refineries in Rotterdam are therefore running at full capacity. But even in this market situation, there are winners. Many oil companies posted record profits in the first quarter. We are therefore taking a look today at the stocks of TotalEnergies and Shell. Moreover, the oil industry also has its downsides. In North America, Zefiro Methane is benefiting from this, as it plays an important role in combating emissions.

    Time to Sell Nordex? Analysts Turn Bullish on SFC Energy and dynaCERT!

    The conflict in the Strait of Hormuz is putting pressure on global energy markets. The search for alternative energy sources and ways to conserve energy is underway not only in Europe but also in Asia. This is a key driver behind the stock performance of dynaCERT. Analysts see the potential for a significant re-rating of the stock, possibly even a multi-fold increase. A similar revaluation scenario has already been demonstrated impressively by Nordex in recent years, rising from a near-bankruptcy case to a valuation of over EUR 10 billion. However, momentum there now appears to be fading, and some analysts recommend selling the stock. At the same time, SFC Energy is benefiting from a major contract win, leading to a raised earnings forecast. The stock is in strong rally mode, with analysts still seeing further upside potential.

    Further Price Surges Possible — But Volatility Remains Extreme! What Investors Need to Know About Ballard Power Systems, ITM Power, and HPQ Silicon

    • Silicon
    • Batteries
    • Technology
    • Hydrogen

    Clean energy technologies such as hydrogen are currently experiencing another strong rally. Rising oil prices are playing a role, but another key factor is that many of these stocks have been heavily oversold. As a result, even moderately positive news can trigger sharp upward moves. At the same time, the markets are increasingly separating the wheat from the chaff. Following its recent surge, hydrogen pioneer Ballard Power is now facing renewed shareholder tensions and continued high volatility. After its rocket-like rise, competitor ITM Power is approaching critical decisions regarding millions in potential government funding. Meanwhile, a smaller player is quietly creeping up on the market to revolutionize the entire battery industry. HPQ Silicon has reported highly promising laboratory results and is preparing for the transition toward commercial-scale production. Unlike many hydrogen stocks, the share price has not yet experienced a major breakout — but that could still change. This report examines the latest developments for the three stocks, analyzes the hard facts, and highlights potential opportunities.
