Top energy transition shares: 100% returns through CO2 reduction! Nel ASA, Plug Power, Carbon Done Right, and dynaCERT

Nel ASA - Deep red figures cause the share price to plummet

This is not what investors would have imagined. The Nel share has traded frivolously upwards in recent weeks, reaching EUR 0.68 after EUR 0.36 in February. Then, the Q2 figures were announced the day before yesterday. Adjusted for a one-off effect, the loss unfortunately increased significantly. Revenue was also much weaker at NOK 332 million after NOK 371 million. The unadjusted loss fell from NOK 228 million to NOK 118 million in the period from April to June. However, this was due to a special effect from last year amounting to NOK 166 million, as Nel sold its shares in the Danish hydrogen company Everfuel. Adjusted for this factor, the Company's quarterly loss almost doubled. Atypical for a growth company, revenues fell once again, and cash and cash equivalents also decreased by 47% to NOK 2.2 billion from NOK 4.1 billion. This is another significant disappointment from Oslo. Stay on the sidelines for the time being. Technically, it would be important to stabilize the line around EUR 0.50 on a sustained basis.

Carbon Done Right - With carbon certificates into the climate transition

The Canadian company Carbon Done Right offers a concept for the energy transition. With major industrial backers, they conduct reforestation and renaturation projects. The Company is involved in mangrove protection and the reforestation of abandoned agricultural land. The projects are mainly carried out in Africa, where industrialization is still in its infancy. Thinking globally means that CO2 avoidance or reduction can be implemented anywhere in the world, which is also the philosophy of the Canadians. When combining these measures with financial incentives, the idea is as simple as it is successful: by renaturalizing so-called compensation areas, the initiator receives credits in emission certificates, which in turn can be purchased by investors.

The interest from multinational corporations is so great that Carbon Done Right is now focusing on the London capital market. London is the most liquid European trading center for financial products of all kinds. And there is another treat in store: In order to better address the market, the aim is also to implement modern blockchain-based business models. This means that when trading emission certificates, every transaction can be carefully recorded in a decentralized ledger so that the origin, ownership, and complete transaction history of each certificate can be verified and cannot be changed. With parallel tokenization, crypto investors are also on board. The KLX share currently costs just CAD 0.045 in Canada; the entire company is available for around EUR 2.5 million. This is an ESG investment at a low entry price.

Plug Power - What can we expect at the half-year mark?

As with Nel ASA, the Q2 figures for Plug Power are just around the corner. The 10 times larger competitor from the US has stabilised its share price in recent weeks after falling a full 95% since 2021. The German government has now announced that it will invest a total of EUR 4.6 billion in the production, storage, and transportation of green hydrogen. Part of the money comes from various EU funds. The Habeck Ministry is hoping for a private investment of EUR 3.3 billion. Plug Power specializes in large-scale series-connected electrolyser plants, so-called megawatt hydrogen power plants. This news might be responsible for the recent stock rally from USD 2.25 to USD 3.25. In the general Nasdaq sell-off of the last few days, it quickly fell back to USD 3.05. However, the chart is now pointing upwards, and collecting in the corridor of USD 2.70 - 3.20 could provide long-term returns. A fundamental update for Q2 is expected on August 6. It will be very interesting to see what CEO Andy Marsh has in store for his investors.**

dynaCERT - VERRA certification on the horizon

Lastly, let's take a look at another climate stock. dynaCERT, the Canadian producer of auxiliary devices for improving diesel combustion for all types of machinery, has doubled from CAD 0.14 to CAD 0.29 in the last three weeks. The market is betting that VERRA certification for the emissions certificate market could be achieved soon. Investors who have been invested for some time and participated in the last capital increase at CAD 0.15 were rewarded. However, those traders who jumped on the bandwagon too late were disappointed. The Company is now fully financed and, starting in August, will be headed by the German manager Bernd Krüper, who has a long industrial career in various technology sectors. According to the motto "A new broom sweeps clean", keeping a close watch on the Toronto-based company in the coming weeks is advisable. After investing over CAD 100 million in research and development, investors can now buy in at a valuation of CAD 94 million. The share has the potential to multiply once VERRA certification is obtained.

No one really expected the sharp NASDAQ correction in the last 3 days. In a long-term comparison, however, the stock market month of July has always been very volatile. Lush profits from May and June are likely being squandered for now. The listing on the London Stock Exchange could represent a European initial spark for the small-cap stock Carbon Done Right.
