dynaCERT's emissions-cutting tech now deployed at a major port in France

dynaCERT Inc. is taking its HydraGEN™ technology global and this time, it's landed in one of Europe's major shipping corridors. The company just announced its emissions-cutting tech is now deployed at the Port of Rochefort-Tonnay in France, a serious move into industrial-scale decarbonization at one of the continent's key logistics hubs. Lyndsay Malchuk recently sat down with Kevin Unrath, the Chief Operating Officer of dynaCERT, a company rewriting the playbook for clean tech in heavy industry. He's here to talk about the rollout, what it means for adoption, and where they're going next. The following is a transcription of the above video, and The Market Online has edited it for clarity Lyndsay: Kevin, let's get right into it. HydraGEN™ is now live at the major French port. How big of a statement is this deployment for the industrial side of your business? Kevin: Basically, this deployment in the port over in France is a major milestone, especially for our France distributor, as it marks his first intro in the off-road applications and into the industrial environment. Over there in France we already have proven success in a lot of transportation fleets across the whole country and across a wide range of truck manufacturers. Now, by integrating HydraGEN™ into a crane operation, we are demonstrating broader potential also in that country, not only across the world and globally, and not only in Canada, North America, or maybe let's say our European hub here in Germany. It shows that reducing emissions and saving fuel is possible even in demanding industrial settings as this harbor. Lyndsay: Kevin, let's be honest here. The emission space is full of buzzwords and broken promises. We all know that. So what makes this rollout real? What kind of impact is it actually delivering in the field? Kevin: What makes it real basically is that this rollout is tangibly on the scientific approach. So what we always try to do is follow a scientific approach, which also means going into pre studies, going into trials with our customers, and also this implementation performed competitive gas emission measurements on the crane operations with and without HydraGEN™ before the final installation. And it allowed us to quantify the greenhouse gas reduction and fuel savings under real operating conditions already before we got into the final contracts and the installation, which is installed now. It's not a pilot anymore. That's important. Now, this is really a working measurable solution after a first pilot. Lyndsay: We all know too that ports are notorious for emission zones. Is this just the beginning of a broader play into European or global logistics? What's the vision beyond this port? Kevin: I think we have to differentiate the answer a little bit in two or three categories. So the first topic is definitely on the harbor side. It's our first public step to go in there. But as we see, it's already generating momentum. Also the celebration during the installation and everything is already showing high interest out of the harbor market to us. And we are already in several other port discussions, and we are looking forward to seeing maybe further follow up projects after this. Beyond this, we are seeing increased traction all across Europe. If we talk about logistics for sure, we talk about harbors, but for us also very important on that intermodal part of logistics. We also look on, for example, transport logistics on streets. So that means commercial vehicles and things like this, but also into intralogistic topics in harbors and other topics like forklifts and things like this. This where we are, we are seeing supported by our strong presence at the Bauma, which you also shared, and we had a joint video at our evening event. And even at the transport logistics only four to five weeks ago here in Munich, we had a real strong presence and we really see a lot of discussions coming out of this and a high interest in the market. So concluding your questions. Yeah, we are going deeper into these topics. We are more looking on the European market and also this is shown by the fact that I'm not only COO of the company internationally. I also, alongside this campaign, did take over the responsibility for the GMBH in Europe as Managing Director and taking care of the European business there. Lyndsay: Your tech is very innovative, and we all know with that type of tech, it usually faces some pushback from operators who don't want any downtime. So let's talk about that. What are you hearing on the ground from the people actually running the hardware? Kevin: The feedback from the operators is very positive. Let's say basically like this. The system integrates smoothly into your running applications. That's the most important point for them. So they do not want to have long down times for installation or getting to know the product. So this is why smoothly integration is very, very important for them. And users already see fuel savings from the beginning. So there is no time needed like a few months or something to realize the full fuel savings. It's basically an installation of two to three hours. It's an aftermarket product and you directly, if you switch on the truck or the harbor crane, again, you will see the fuel savings. There's also growing anticipation for upcoming carbon credit programs for sure, as we are working on the carbon credit side with VERRA also, and which will make HydraGEN™ installations even more financially attractive to all of the customers by having really the fuel saving, the emission reduction and the carbon credit generation. This adds another layer of value for the customers for sure, but also important for us, we are still looking on the environmental and economic effect of all our customers. Lyndsay: I want to dive a little bit deeper into the investor lens of things. I mean, how should we be thinking about this deployment? Is this a one-off win or the first domino in a bigger commercial wave? Kevin: No, for us looking onto Europe in general, but also looking on France in specific. In France alone, we have had already equipped a large number of different trucks across the country, so different brands, and we have proved from that the technology works. So this for us is now very, very important in the further, let's say succession on the market over here in Europe, which we are striving for. We have already proven that technology works across different engines, different fuels, including things like HVO also testing over here in Germany at some customers. So we see a broad range of success and this is exactly what we are trying and striving for further success. dynaCERT is now trading under the ticker DYA on the TSX.

The end of combustion engines? Why Volkswagen, dynaCERT, and Daimler Truck are still cashing in on cleantech

The mobility industry is undergoing a significant upheaval. Stricter CO2 limits are forcing automotive giants and, above all, the transportation industry to undergo a radical transformation. Transportation accounts for approximately 25% of the world's total emissions. The EU is pushing ahead with strict decarbonization targets. By 2030, new vehicles and trucks will have to emit 55% less CO2. Companies are running out of time. Innovations must pay off, or they are out of the game. Volkswagen is revolutionizing fleet emissions by pushing ahead with electromobility, dynaCERT is optimizing existing diesel engines, and Daimler Truck is driving sustainable logistics forward with electric and hydrogen powertrains. This article is disseminated in partnership with Apaton Finance GmbH. It is intended to inform investors and should not be taken as a recommendation or financial advice. Volkswagen – A catch-up race with obstacles Volkswagen's latest quarterly figures show a familiar pattern. Revenue climbed by 3%, but operating profit fell sharply. This was due to special items totaling around EUR 1.1 billion, including provisions for CO2 targets and restructuring costs: a classic cyclical development, but a painful one. The balance sheet remains robust with just under EUR 37 billion in cash and cash equivalents. The automotive division is sticking to its forecast of up to 5% revenue growth in 2025, but tariff uncertainties in the US remain a Sword of Damocles. In summary, stability is there, but the pressure on profits remains real. The Company is responding to challenges such as the slump in its Chinese business and the tough EV transition with clear steps. The 'In China, for China' strategy aims to deliver tailor-made models from 2026, supported by the partnership with XPENG. Even more significant is the up to USD 5.8 billion Rivian alliance, which aims to close software gaps and provide access to modern e-architecture. At the same time, VW is expanding its BEV presence in Europe, with deliveries growing by 75% in the second quarter, while combustion engines continue to dominate in China. The goal is clear: the Company wants to increase flexibility where the market demands it. Volkswagen is on solid financial footing. The balance sheet shows a price-to-book ratio of only 0.25. On the one hand, this reflects massive skepticism, but on the other hand, it provides a buffer. Even forced sales of assets such as plants could release considerable value. The mix of a strong industrial network and financial services has a stabilizing effect. However, political risks, pressure from China, and ongoing investments in transformation remain stumbling blocks. Anyone getting in here is betting on a turnaround with a long time horizon. The stock currently costs EUR 89.98. dynaCERT – Emission reduction for diesel engines gains momentum A French port is now relying on retrofit technology from dynaCERT (TSX:DYA). In the port of Rochefort-Tonnay-Charente, a crane has been equipped with the HydraGEN™ system, which reduces emissions from diesel engines while also lowering fuel consumption. Following successful tests since December 2024, the port administration plans to retrofit all five cranes this year. The investment of EUR 58,000 per crane is aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and operating costs, and is expected to pay for itself in under a year. The Nouvelle-Aquitaine region is providing financial support for the project, which it sees as a step toward greater competitiveness and sustainability. This has opened the door to the French market for local distribution partner IPMD SAS. The technology is well-engineered: a compact electrolyzer installed on board generates a hydrogen-oxygen mix from distilled water. This is fed into the combustion process, resulting in more efficient and cleaner combustion. The result is measurable savings in diesel consumption of between 6% and 20%, and significantly reduced pollutants such as soot particles. An added incentive comes from the CO2 credits. Fuel savings are recorded via the Hydrolytica™ telematics platform, which will soon serve as the basis for generating tradable CO2 certificates. These certificates have the potential to create a recurring revenue stream in the long term. dynaCERT deliberately focuses on retrofitting existing machines, as the market is enormous. Installation takes just a few hours, and the low-maintenance technology is scalable. Everything from small transporters to giant mining machines can be retrofitted. Current areas of focus are heavy-duty transport, mining, power generation, and now also port infrastructure. With fresh capital of CAD 5 million from a recent financing round, the Company is driving forward its global expansion, supported by an experienced management team and a growing sales network. The share price has been trading sideways between CAD 0.13 and CAD 0.14 for a month. A share currently costs CAD 0.135. Daimler Truck – Caution despite apparent strength The commercial vehicle industry is facing structural challenges. In the long term, the ongoing shift from a goods-based to a service-based economy is putting downward pressure on demand for transport capacity. At the same time, expensive investments in alternative drive systems such as electric trucks and hydrogen are forcing high expenditures on manufacturers without their shareholders reaping the full social benefits. Added to this is the potential disruption from autonomous vehicles, which tech giants are investing heavily in. Although transportation remains essential, the industry is on thin ice. Daimler Truck was recently considered a relatively stable anchor in the sector. Its strong focus on North America, with local production in seven US plants, offered protection from trade conflicts, and the Company was able to benefit from US infrastructure programs. Its broad presence in the emerging Asian market and more disciplined capital allocation through strategic partnerships also spoke in the Company's favor. It appeared attractive compared to higher-valued competitors. Despite a decline in revenue in the last quarter, the stock is holding up surprisingly well. The announced job cuts of 2,000 in North America and 5,000 in Germany by 2030 indicate that the Company wants to reduce costs. Political uncertainty, punitive tariffs, changing environmental regulations, and delayed infrastructure funding are currently weighing on planning security. The current valuation now appears fair, but no longer cheap. Caution is advised given the unclear drivers of recent performance and ongoing headwinds in industry. The stock is currently trading at EUR 40.08. The mobility transition is driving cleantech innovation – and creating new winners. Volkswagen is pushing ahead with its electric conversion with billion-dollar alliances such as XPENG and Rivian, but continues to struggle with profit pressure and risks in China. dynaCERT is revolutionizing existing fleets. With HydraGEN™, the Canadians are reducing diesel consumption and emissions in cranes and trucks, as demonstrated by the French port project, and generating CO2 certificates in the process. Daimler Truck is attempting to weather the industry turmoil through cost discipline and a focus on North America. The Company is banking on hydrogen and electric drives. All three companies demonstrate that those who implement decarbonization economically can secure relevant market shares, even as the era of combustion engines comes to an end.
