Energy

Transitioning away from fossil fuels to the use of renewables is the key to fighting climate change and creating a sustainable supply of energy.

The energy sector covers the production, transmission, distribution, and use of energy, which is absolutely necessary for all aspects of modern life. The level and kind of energy supply also have a key impact on our quality of life, health care, education, and communication. How does Raiffeisen Capital Management assess topics such as nuclear power, natural gas, photovoltaics, wind power, hydroelectric power, or biomass when it comes to sustainable investments? For example, does it make sense to invest in the stocks of companies that are active in the hydrogen economy? Hannes Loacker and his team work to find answers to these and other questions:

In Focus: Wind Energy

At present, renewables still play a relatively limited role in covering our primary energy consumption. Moreover, some sources of renewable energy, such as hydroelectric power and biomass, have natural limitations in terms of their expansion. By contrast, wind power is scalable, complements photovoltaic power, and for offshore facilities it has few limits. How will wind power be developed over the medium term? Is wind power attractive as a sustainable investment? Learn more here in this video:
