Clean energy

To combat global warming, an energy transition is underway. Fossil fuels such as oil and coal are being replaced by renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power. This gigantic operation will take a long time and involve huge investments. Public interest in new forms of energy that do not cause global warming is rapidly growing. Clean energy focuses on the E of Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) standards.

It does not only concern individuals and companies that focus on clean energy. Governments, in particular, feel a strong sense of responsibility to ensure a livable future and are increasingly setting environmental requirements to force residents and businesses to use clean energy. Hefty subsidies for solar collectors and electric cars are examples.

Why invest in clean energy ETFs?

Investing in clean energy means investing in companies that focus on clean energy: manufacturers of wind turbines, solar panels and electric cars, for example, as well as technology companies that ensure an efficient conversion of generated energy into electricity. Many investors choose to invest in clean energy because they want to contribute to a livable world. But, of course, there are also many investors who see reasons to invest in clean energy from a financial profit perspective. It is a sector of the future, with enormous growth potential.

The environmental requirements imposed by governments create an ever-increasing demand for clean energy sources. As a result, wind and solar energy are expected to be used more and more efficiently and intelligently in the future. This may eventually mean that these energy sources will become cheaper than fossil sources. This may then further boost the size of the sector enormously.

Because the sector is still in an early stage, one approach is to invest in it on a diversified basis through an ETF. After all, it is still unclear which individual companies will take the lead. Either way, through an ETF, you benefit from longer-term developments across the sector. Most clean energy ETFs focus on utilities (energy suppliers), industrials (manufacturers of solar panels and wind turbines) and technology. The regions in which the ETFs invest are particularly the United States and China, but there are also many clean energy companies in Europe.
