Article content

TORONTO — dynaCERT Inc. (TSX: DYA) (OTCQB: DYFSF) (FRA: DMJ) (“dynaCERT” or the “Company”) a leading Canadian Cleantech company specializing in fuel saving and carbon emission reduction technologies, has reached a significant milestone: The Port of Rochefort–Tonnay-Charente (Port Charente Atlantique) in France has equipped its crane fleet with dynaCERT’s HydraGEN™ technology — marking the first commercial port installation of this kind in France.

The project was executed in collaboration with IPMD, dynaCERT’s valued, authorized distribution partner in France and the Benelux countries. Following the successful commissioning of a HydraGEN™ prototype in July 2025, the port completed full installation on all five cranes in September. This initiative significantly reduces local emissions and enhances air quality around the port area.

Verifiable Emission Reductions

Article content

HydraGEN™ technology uses electrolysis to generate hydrogen and oxygen on demand from distilled water. The gases are fed into the clean air intake of diesel engines, optimizing combustion. Comparative measurements at the Port of Rochefort demonstrated that HydraGEN™ can reduce CO₂ emissions, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter by up to between 20 and 45%.

Growth Market: Port Logistics

Article content

According to market research, the global port equipment market is projected to grow from USD 19.72 billion in 2024 to USD 28.3 billion by 2032, reflecting an annual growth rate of 4.5%. Approximately 64% of port equipment remains diesel-powered, representing vast potential for emission-reduction upfit technologies such as HydraGEN™.
