Q: One of the themes that I am seeing is companies reducing in carbon intensity. It seems to be more prevalent in Europe right now, with companies building or buying wind and solar power generation for hydrogen production and use. How can one get exposure to European companies through North American markets including wind turbine manufacturing companies, as the European Union launches a new push to make hydrogen one of the clean fuels of the future? With Covid it seems that EU will push the green energy theme for bonds as well. What do you see as an implication of this in North America? What NA companies and ETF's would you see in this hydrogen arena?

Q: Hello 5i,
I usually only hold individual stocks but am wrestling with choosing a “green” company. I like the potential of companies like GRN,XBC and QST but their size gives me pause. Can you recommend and ETF that captures these smaller companies as well as larger ones to reduce overall risk?
Thanks
Dave

Q: Thanks for your answer on the above but while it identifies the companies involved it does not address the reasons for the parabolic nature of this months rise, other than those companies prices also rose. But why?? It looks as though somebody/something goosed the sector as the gain is abnormal. A change in (US) policy? A virus issue impairing China's competitive ability? A technical development? Can you contribute to this analysis. Industry progress prior to February was consistent with prior periods; February was not. Thank you.

Q: Hi, I’m interested in getting back into some solar stocks. Many have done well lately and I’ve read that there is lots of growth ahead still. I’m a growth investor with a +5-7 year time frame. What would be some of your top stocks in this sector and what are your some of your thoughts on investing in this industry? Thx!

Q: I am looking to invest in what could be broadly described as some 'green' companies. These could be involved in power generation, carbon recapture or post consumer recycling to name a few options.
Would you be able to direct me to any funds, etf's or specific firms that may meet (or partially meet) these requirements?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you

Q: Hey 5i team,

It seems as though the solar power industry is gaining traction in the global market, and will continue to do so in the coming years.

With the ever-increasing efficiency of emerging storage solutions to help mitigate problems attributed with solar (ie the duck curve), it appears as though more nation's are beggining to view solar as a feasible option... I'm thinking about the South Australian government's plans for battery storage and India's solar boom.

Can you provide any comments on this trend, and are there any ETF's or indiviual stocks you like, that play the solar market on a global scale?

Always appreciate your input!
