Point Roberts WA, Delta BC, January 14, 2020 – Investorideas.com, a global news source and leading investor resource covering cleantech and renewable energy stocks issues a sector snapshot looking at how cleantech may be the sector to watch in 2020. Following on a strong year in 2019, solar stocks, fuel cell stocks and EV stocks are also leading the pack going into 2020.

According to ETF.com’s recent article (Lara Crigger), “It's true that rising Iran-U.S. tensions have caused a spike in energy funds. Astonishingly, however, the best-performing ETF of the past few weeks wasn't an oil or a natural gas fund—but a renewable power one.

“Over the past 30 days, the SPDR S&P Kensho Clean Power ETF rose 16.4%, more than any other non-leveraged, non-inverse ETF.”   

According to a report and outlook for 2020 by Deloitte, “For the first time ever, in April 2019, renewable energy outpaced coal by providing 23 percent of US power generation, compared to coal’s 20 percent share.1 In the first half of 2019, wind and solar together accounted for approximately 50 percent of total US renewable electricity generation, displacing hydroelectric power’s dominance.“

2019 saw the global hydrogen fuel sector add more than 1GW of new capacity for the first time, according to a report by energy consultancy E4tech.

According to EEI, there were 18 million ELECTRIC VEHICLES (EV’S) on the road in the U.S.as of March 31, 2019.

SinglePoint, Inc. (OTCQB: SING) and its solar subsidiary, Direct Solar of America are seeing the strength in the sector first-hand. In a recent  update to shareholders, Greg Lambrecht, Founder and Chief Executive Officer said, “The 2020 domestic Solar Market is showing continued signs of riding a new tailwind driven by talks of a New Green Deal. We anticipate that renewables will continue to be an important issue around the country, and plan to focus the majority of our attention on growth in the solar and renewables space.”

He also went on to state. “This year management has set an internal goal to surpass $10,000,000 in gross revenues, primarily by the Company’s subsidiary SinglePoint Direct Solar LLC (“Direct Solar” doing business as Direct Solar of America). 2019 was a great year for SinglePoint in terms of continued fundamental improvement, setting the foundation for anticipated continued growth in 2020 and beyond. The Company achieved some significant milestones this year; it became fully reporting with the Securities and Exchange Commission, increased annual revenue, and acquired a Fifty One Percent interest in Direct Solar. We will continue to focus on creating shareholder value utilizing an acquisition strategy looking for emerging growth companies that would benefit from exposure and access to capital that a public company can provide.

Direct Solar now has over 60 people deployed across 11 states and 20 cities.

From 2017 to 2018 our gross revenue increased over 344% and is expected to increase to approximately $3,000,000 (Three Million) in 2019 representing our largest annual reported revenue in company history. In 2020 we expect this revenue increase to continue as SinglePoint will benefit from a full operating year of Direct Solar.”

Reflecting the strength of solar stocks, the Invesco Solar ETF (NYSE: ARCA: TAN) just recently hit a 52 week high.  According to Zack’s Research the move was based on this: “The highest-ever solar installation and the exemption of tariff on one type of solar panels have supported the upside. Moreover, the solar industry has been growing on a rebound in global solar demand, competitive pricing and potential Chinese subsidies. Also, California’s initiative to make solar panels essential to all new homes built in 2020 and beyond is helping the solar industry.“

Ballard Power Systems (NASDAQ: BLDP) (TSX: BLDP) has been on a roar in 2020 as was one the top performers on the TSX in 2019. Ballard zero-emission PEM fuel cells are enabling electrification of mobility, including buses, commercial trucks, trains, marine vessels, passenger cars, forklift trucks and UAVs. According to their presentation, “Fuel cell technology is needed to achieve complete decarbonization of Transportation.”

In recent news, Randy MacEwen, Ballard President and CEO said, “In less than 10 years, it will become cheaper to run a fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) than it is to run a battery electric vehicle (BEV) or an internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle for certain commercial applications.”

FuelCell Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: FCEL) and Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) are both holdings in the CNRG SPDR S&P Kensho Clean Power ETF, both showing strong performance and showing fuel cell and EV’s are sectors to watch in 2020.

Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLAjust announced on January 3rd “In the fourth quarter, we achieved record production of almost 105,000 vehicles and record deliveries of approximately 112,000 vehicles. In 2019, we delivered approximately 367,500 vehicles, 50% more than the previous year and in line with our full year guidance.”

“We continue to focus on expanding production in both the US as well as our newly launched facility in Shanghai. Despite breaking ground at Gigafactory Shanghai less than 12 months ago, we have already produced just under 1,000 customer salable cars and have begun deliveries. We have also demonstrated production run-rate capability of greater than 3,000 units per week, excluding local battery pack production which began in late December.”

Deloitte says, “The renewable energy industry is primed to enter a new phase of growth driven largely by increasing customer demand, cost competitiveness, innovation, and collaboration. Companies that are ready to innovate, collaborate, and seize new opportunities will likely thrive in a new phase of renewable growth.”

#Cleantech and #ClimateChange #Podcast – Hydrogen and #FuelCell Technology Makes Headlines at CES in Las Vegas, @CES (NASDAQ: $BLDP) (TSX: $BLDP.TO) (NYSE: $TM) (KRX:012330)



Point Roberts WA, Delta BC, January 9, 2020 – Investorideas.com, a global news source and leading investor resource covering cleantech and renewable energy stocks issues today’s edition of the Cleantech and Climate Change Podcast, talking about today's problems and solutions for the future.

Listen to the Podcast:



Transcript/overview

Today we are looking at Ballard Power Systems (NASDAQ: BLDP) (TSX: BLDP), Toyota (NYSE:TM) and Hyundai Mobis (KRX:012330) and how fuel cell technology made headlines at CES in Las Vegas this week. CES is the world's gathering place for all those who thrive on the business of consumer technologies.  

Ballard Power Systems (NASDAQ: BLDP) (TSX: BLDPand Deloitte China announced the release of a joint white paper entitled "Fueling the Future of Mobility: Hydrogen and fuel cell solutions for transportation" at the Consumer Technology Association's CES 2020 trade show being held in Las Vegas, Nevada. This white paper is the first volume in a series exploring how hydrogen is set to power the future of mobility. Click here to download the white paper.
From the release - Randy MacEwen, Ballard President and CEO said, "In less than 10 years, it will become cheaper to run a fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) than it is to run a battery electric vehicle (BEV) or an internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle for certain commercial applications."
Although FCEVs are currently more expensive to run per 100 kilometers (km) than BEVs and ICE commercial vehicles, they are set to become much cheaper as manufacturing technology matures, economies of scale improve, hydrogen fuel costs decline and infrastructure develops. Indeed, the white paper conservatively estimates the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for commercial hydrogen vehicles will fall by more than 50% in the next 10 years.
Toyota (NYSE:TM) this week at CES in Las Vegas announced plans to build a prototype “city” of the future on a 175-acre site at the base of Mt. Fuji in Japan.

From the press release: Called the Woven City, it will be a fully connected ecosystem powered by hydrogen fuel cells.

Envisioned as a “living laboratory,” the Woven City will serve as a home to full- time residents and researchers who will be able to test and develop technologies such as autonomy, robotics, personal mobility, smart homes and artificial intelligence in a real-world environment.

“Building a complete city from the ground up, even on a small scale like this, is a unique opportunity to develop future technologies, including a digital operating system for the city’s infrastructure. With people, buildings and vehicles all connected and communicating with each other through data and sensors, we will be able to test connected AI technology… in both the virtual and the physical realms … maximizing its potential,” said Akio Toyoda, president, Toyota Motor Corporation.

The city is planned to be fully sustainable, with buildings made mostly of wood to minimize the carbon footprint, using traditional Japanese wood joinery, combined with robotic production methods. The rooftops will be covered in photo-voltaic panels to generate solar power in addition to power generated by hydrogen fuel cells.  Toyota plans to weave in the outdoors throughout the city, with native vegetation and hydroponics.
The groundbreaking for the site is planned for early 2021.


Toyota (NYSE: TM) to Build Prototype City of the Future

Hyundai Mobis (KRX:012330displayed new technologies such as M.Vision S, the autonomous driving-based mobility concept for urban sharing and the hydrogen fuel cell system at CES.
Hyundai Motor Group has secured the world’s best hydrogen fuel cell system technology and Hyundai Mobis runs the world’s largest production line exclusively for hydrogen fuel cell modules in Chungju, Chungcheongbuk-do.
