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 defence sector has experienced an unprecedented rally in recent years, but a harsher wind is suddenly blowing on the trading floor. While major players such as Rheinmetall and the aerospace specialist OHB are suffering from profit-taking and rising oil prices despite their exceptionally strong order books, a potentially entirely new opportunity is emerging away from the headlines. Canadian technology company HPQ Silicon is developing market-changing innovations in battery and hydrogen technologies that are approaching commercial breakthrough. Bold investors who think innovatively may recognize that opportunities on the stock market could be emerging right now.

    Bloom Energy, A.H.T. Syngas, Veolia: Waste is Giving Rise to a Multi-Billion-Dollar Market

    Waste and industrial residues are evolving from a cost factor into a valuable raw material. Rising energy prices, decarbonization and the enormous power demands of new data centres are driving up the economic value of technologies that convert previously unused materials into energy. At the same time, pressure is mounting on industry and local authorities not only to dispose of waste but also to recycle and repurpose it. This is giving rise to a multi-billion-dollar market at the intersection of the circular economy and energy supply.

    USD 100 Oil Price Shock – Boost Returns with Smart Alternatives like ITM Power, Zefiro Methane, Plug Power and Nel ASA

    Volatility is going through the roof! The conflict in the Middle East is driving oil prices relentlessly toward the critical USD 100 mark, putting the energy market on high alert. Exploding commodity costs are further fuelling already stubborn inflation, increasing pressure on central banks to keep interest rates at restrictive levels. In this toxic environment for traditional assets, however, the irreversible trend towards the energy transition is proving to be a powerful catalyst for future-proof investment alternatives. Investors wishing to make their portfolios crisis-proof are now looking for profitable niche players and, for example, reducing their exposure to the high-tech sector, which has risen sharply. Alongside the hydrogen leaders ITM Power, Nel ASA and Plug Power, the US company Zefiro Methane is shining. And the formula is simple: by decommissioning orphaned oil and gas wells, this environmental tech specialist stands to profit directly from reduced climate-damaging emissions. Investors should therefore make clever use of the current market volatility to secure tomorrow's winners away from the expensive oil sector.
