What is an ETF?
ETFs, also known as trackers, are funds that follow the performance of an index, commodity, bond or composition of products. Unlike some other funds, ETFs are bought and sold on a stock exchange. Would you like to learn more about ETFs? Read our ETF article for all you need to know.
Hydrogen
Hydrogen is an element that can be used to produce renewable energy. It is a powerful energy source with a high energy density. It is therefore often mentioned as a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. Unlike other renewable energy sources, hydrogen can power heavy ships and even planes.
Hydrogen is extracted from water or natural gas. If renewable energy is used in the production of hydrogen, this is considered CO2-neutral. Hydrogen is an energy carrier. That means the energy of hydrogen can be stored and preserved for a later time. For example, excess solar energy can be stored in hydrogen to be used when the sun doesn’t shine.
Why invest in hydrogen ETFs?
Investing in hydrogen means investing in sustainable initiatives. Hydrogen has been talked about as a (sustainable) alternative to fossil fuels for a relatively long time. Former US President Clinton called hydrogen “the fuel of the future”.
The president's prediction has not yet come true. However, the waning interest in the application of hydrogen has rebounded. This is due in part to the pressure to avert climate change. Hydrogen is considered one of the important sustainable energy carriers of the future. One drawback, however, is that hydrogen applications are not currently available everywhere. Also, there are still some practical hurdles to deploying hydrogen, such as distribution and safety.
With more and more successful cases, hydrogen companies can show that they can deliver on their promise. Practical applications and extended reach are important for the success of hydrogen as an alternative to fossil fuels.
ETFs are well suited to safely invest in hydrogen. The sector is growing and far from matured. The market is divided among several companies. The fact that the hydrogen market is changing rapidly makes it riskier to invest in individual companies. An ETF brings diversification and safety when investing in this market.
Hydrogen FAQs
Some of the largest companies in the hydrogen sector include:
- Plug Power (PLUG): The largest provider of hydrogen fuel cell systems that are used to power electric vehicles and other industrial applications. The company offers a range of fuel cell products, hydrogen generation and refuelling solutions and other services.
- Ballard Power Systems (BLDP): This company is a global leader in proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell technology. It designs, develops and manufactures fuel cell products that are used in various applications, including transportation, backup power and material handling.
- Nel ASA (NEL): This Norwegian company specialises in electrolyser technology for hydrogen production and hydrogen fuelling solutions. The company offers a range of products, including alkaline and PEM electrolysers, hydrogen fuelling stations and hydrogen energy solutions for industries and transportation.
You can invest in hydrogen a few ways:
- Direct investment in hydrogen companies: You can invest directly a hydrogen company's stock.
- Hydrogen-focused ETFs: These ETFs hold a basket of stocks of hydrogen-related companies, providing exposure to the sector as a whole. Examples include the Global X Hydrogen ETF (HYDR) and the VanEck Hydrogen Economy UCITS ETF (HDR0).
- Renewable energy funds: Investing in renewable energy funds can also provide indirect exposure to the hydrogen sector. Many renewable energy funds include companies involved in hydrogen production, fuel cells and related infrastructure as part of their portfolios.
As of now, there are limited options for dedicated green hydrogen ETFs. However, here are two ETFs that have significant exposure to the hydrogen sector and focus on clean energy:
- iShares Global Clean Energy ETF (ICLN): This ETF offers exposure to global companies involved in clean energy, including those working on hydrogen-related technologies and infrastructure. It tracks the S&P Global Clean Energy Index.
- First Trust NASDAQ Clean Edge Green Energy Index Fund (QCLN): This ETF invests in companies involved in the development and production of clean energy technologies, including hydrogen. It tracks the NASDAQ Clean Edge Green Energy Index.
Please note that the availability and composition of ETFs may vary over time.
