The stock market is prone to slight corrections. Is this the beginning or just a test of gravity? No one knows for sure, because machines rule the market. They generate automatic buy and sell orders based on trends, order frequency, and daily volume. Currently, it appears that the lower sales by small investors are actually generating further downward momentum. At the same time, the big players have not even considered their positions yet. For the hydrogen sector, the sobering results of COP30 in Brazil are decisive. Here, somewhat risky financing models are being discussed, and without the US, it hardly makes sense to join forces.

    dynaCERT – The future of low-emission transport is now

    We have reported several times recently on the Canadian technology company dynaCERT. With the international rollout to Texas and Mexico, tangible progress is now visible. It is all about the patented HydraGEN™ technology, with which dynaCERT is setting new standards in low-emission mobility. The technology generates hydrogen and oxygen directly at the engine through electrolysis of water, which reduces diesel consumption by up to 8% and significantly reduces CO₂ and NOx emissions. HydraGEN™ improves diesel fuel combustion by adding gases and ensures more efficient, cleaner combustion with fewer pollutants. The system is already in use in North America, Europe, and other regions, including by freight forwarders, in the mining industry, and in port operations. Recently, the French port of Rochefort demonstrated that even retrofitting port cranes can lead to significant emissions and fuel savings.

    dynaCERT's technology meets strict environmental requirements and has been certified for emissions reductions by the international certification body Verra. The market breakthrough is currently evident in new large orders, for example, in Mexico, one of the world's largest truck markets. There, dynaCERT is cooperating with the Texas-based distributor Hydrofuel Technologies, which has ordered 100 units of HydraGEN™ technology for delivery within a year. One thing is clear: Mexico is the gateway to Latin America. However, dynaCERT also reports projects in Australia and Canada, such as Caterpillar haul trucks and H2 generators for extreme environments.

    In May 2025, Bernd Krüper, who has many years of industry experience, took over as President of dynaCERT and strengthened important partnerships, including with Cipher Neutron in the field of electrolysis technology. John Amodeo, who has extensive expertise in global corporate development, was recently appointed as the new CFO to support growth and international expansion. The Company has also raised CAD 5 million in fresh capital and is now listed on the US stock exchange. The stock is highly liquid and tradable in both Germany and Canada and is currently trading at a significant discount for no real reason. Nevertheless, GBC Research expects CAD 0.75, which means the current price of CAD 0.11 offers a multiplication over the next 12 months. Time to buy!

    What do GBC analysts say about the latest developments at dynaCERT? Here is an interview by Lyndsay Malchuk with market expert Matthias Greiffenberger.

    Oklo – What a price slump

    SMR hopeful Oklo, from the US, has really fallen by the wayside. In wild euphoria over Trump's announcements about a revolution in nuclear energy, the share price had risen by a staggering 700% since April. After a technical peak lasting about 10 days, the reversal came. What happened? It is the abundance of projects that Oklo now plans to push forward in parallel. Investors are increasingly doubtful about the financial feasibility, because the complete implementation of just one plant requires external investors, the state, and public subsidy programs to shoulder the billion-dollar investment. The momentum is high. For example, the expansion of the collaboration with the Idaho National Laboratory is on the agenda, strengthening the R&D pipeline for important materials and fuels. The selection for three DOE reactor pilot projects signals high political confidence and accelerates the realization of the Aurora fast reactors. Finally, the planned co-location with Lightbridge for fuel production could create significant synergies. Recent progress underscores Oklo's goal of establishing a robust domestic fuel supply. At the same time, the Company is addressing regulatory hurdles through cooperation with government agencies. Investors have apparently gotten cold feet and taken their initial profits. A staggering 50% drop in price to USD 95 in just 15 trading days. Respect!

    Plug Power and Nel ASA – Were these false breakout signals?

    American hydrogen pioneer Plug Power is also proving to be highly volatile. In October's NASDAQ frenzy, its share price catapulted from USD 1.90 to USD 4.50 at breakneck speed. Then came Q3 figures that were only in line with expectations. CEO Andy Marsh expressed optimism for the coming years, but at the same time urged public institutions to accelerate their investments in alternative energies such as hydrogen. On the other hand, there is little news from the COP30 meeting in Brazil. Some protagonists had hoped for more positioning on this issue from the most important industrialized countries. But the absence of the US delegation alone reduces the meeting to only about 65% of global pollutant emissions. With the announcement of a USD 375 million convertible bond, PLUG management is not generating much excitement either. Due to renewed dilution, the stock fell another 14% yesterday to USD 1.86. This means that the entire increase from October has now been wiped out. It is a shame, as the technical breakout had looked promising, but now the chart resembles the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church in Berlin. Wait and see!

    At Nel ASA, too, the Q3 figures had only a short-term positive effect. Nel generated contract revenues of NOK 303 million, a 17% decline, but EBITA was significantly better than in the previous year at NOK -37 million compared to NOK -90 million. Furthermore, order intake is continuing to decline, causing the total order backlog to slump by 47% to NOK 984 million. The only slight consolation is the cash balance, which totaled NOK 1.8 billion on the reporting date. The share price jumped 25% to NOK 2.85 yesterday, but ended the day back at NOK 2.35. A tragedy!

    Over the past three months, the entire alternative energy and greentech sector has consolidated. Technically, an oversold status will likely be reached in the next few days, which should attract traders and medium-term investors. Source: LSEG, 11/19/2025

    Following an extensive correction in the Greentech sector, there is now room again for high-growth technology and sustainability stocks. While industry giants such as Oklo, Plug Power, and Nel ASA face a challenging scaling process, dynaCERT is increasingly coming into focus with its unique Greentech solution. The Company combines climate protection with increased efficiency in mobility and industry.

    Stock markets under pressure! High momentum expected for Siemens Energy, Pure One Corp., and E.ON

    • Hydrogen
    • renewableenergy
    • Energy
    • greenhydrogen
    • Fuelcells

    After months of back and forth, there was a shift in investors' sector choices at the start of 2026. The popular tech stocks that were the top performers in 2025 have largely been sidelined, while the commodities, energy, and defense sectors are experiencing a significant rally. The World Economic Forum in Davos did not bring any major news for the economy. What is becoming clear is that the US is continuing on its harsh course, and the rest of the world must prepare for a scenario of ongoing shortages and fragile supply chains. There is also a noticeable return to fossil fuels, which are needed on a large scale, especially during long, cold winters when the sun and wind are not available. For individual companies, this is a license to print money. For investors, however, the choice remains agonizing.

    Stress test: Nuclear power instead of hydrogen? Caution advised with Nel ASA, First Hydrogen, Oklo, and Plug Power

    • Hydrogen
    • greenhydrogen
    • renewableenergy
    • Fuelcells
    • SMR

    "Drill, baby, drill" – that is the loud cry coming from the White House. For the Trump administration, that means quick approvals and a capital-intensive push for fossil fuels. However, it currently seems unclear what will happen with alternative energies. Some of the funds from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) passed by the previous administration under Joe Biden have not been paid out, and hoped-for public contracts in line with the Paris Climate Agreement are now obsolete due to the absence of the US. However, the shift away from alternative energies has not been communicated very clearly. After all, there is a large following for ESG-compliant energy models, with nuclear energy in particular becoming socially acceptable again as a net-zero source. Where should investors prick up their ears?

    Double dividends for Amazon & Co.: How CHAR Technologies combines the business models of Clean Energy Fuels and Carbon Streaming

    • Sustainability
    • CO2
    • renewableenergy
    • cleantech
    • decarbonization

    The global energy landscape is currently undergoing a quiet but tremendous change. While electric trucks are still often discussed in the headlines, the titans of the logistics industry have long been making progress on a completely different track. Driven by the need to improve their carbon footprints immediately, giants such as Amazon and UPS are investing heavily in renewable natural gas (RNG). This trend has triggered strong demand for green molecules that can use existing infrastructure without having to wait for the expansion of the power grids. But parallel to this physical market, a second, purely financial sector is booming in the background: trading in certificates for the permanent removal of carbon dioxide. Investors are now willing to pay premiums for verified, high-quality certificates. The Canadian company CHAR Technologies is positioning itself in both of these markets. CHAR combines the best of both worlds. Its plants produce the RNG urgently needed by the logistics industry and, at the same time, generate the premium certificates that are currently the most expensive on the carbon market through the production of biochar.
