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.

    The world of clean energy is at a turning point. On one hand, companies like Plug Power continue to struggle with heavy debt burdens and are still searching for a sustainable business model. On the other hand, Siemens Energy is demonstrating that its radical restructuring is beginning to pay off: the energy technology group has recently returned to profitability and stabilized its operations. But while established players are investing billions into restructuring and infrastructure, a technology-driven newcomer is emerging in the form of HPQ Silicon. The company is drawing attention with impressive breakthroughs in battery technology and initial commercial successes in the drone market. While some companies are still refining their systems, the small pioneer from Canada is already delivering tangible results, such as battery cells with capacities of around 7,000 mAh. Find out in this report why HPQ Silicon could be on the verge of a stock price breakout.

    When recent hostilities with Iran threatened maritime shipping routes, it became clear just how fragile global energy flows are. Oil and gas prices skyrocketed within hours. But while many think of the major oil companies, it is often lesser-known technology providers that are capitalizing on the crisis. The entire industry is benefiting from a shift toward greater independence. Three companies exemplify this transformation. Siemens Energy secures the supply with digital energy grids, A.H.T. Syngas converts waste into clean energy, and Plug Power is driving the hydrogen economy forward.

    Crazy times for investors. After repeated back-and-forth between Washington and Tehran, uncertainty surrounding the future of the conflict continues to rise. As a result, markets remain highly volatile heading into the weekend. Over the past ten trading days, Brent crude has swung between USD 82 and 104—so what can investors realistically rely on? One approach may be to take a closer look at the oil sector's peer group—or to revisit opportunities in the alternative energy space. Plug Power recently set off a real fireworks display here. But how are ITM Power, Nel ASA, and thyssenkrupp nucera performing in this environment? And then there is the newcomer Zefiro Methane, whose approach could quickly propel the stock into a higher league. We delve a little deeper, quite literally, into what is happening beneath the surface.
