The economy around the globe is in a waiting position. As soon as the spread of the Corona Virus no longer poses a general threat or the social understanding of restrictions disappears, the economic race for customers and market share begins. In recent weeks, companies have had the opportunity to reflect and orient themselves. As soon as the restrictions for the general market disappear, it will become clear who has done their homework and which economic area can still afford subsidies.

    Hydrogen technology for retrofitting

    dynaCERT is the newcomer of the hydrogen scene, with a technology that has been awarded several prizes. The company has been working on the product launch of its innovation since 2019. The technology is called HydraGEN and can be offered to customers in different sizes. The size of the HydraGEN unit depends on the application, the larger the combustion engine, the larger the unit of dynaCERT for retrofitting.

    HydraGEN makes diesel green

    The advantage of HydraGEN is that the unit produces hydrogen from distilled water on demand and adds it to the diesel engine as a catalyst during the combustion process. This increases the efficiency of the engine and reduces fuel consumption by up to 20%. In addition, the emission of pollutants is significantly reduced. Measurements have shown a reduction in NOx of up to 88%. The emission of particulate matter is reduced by up to 55% and CO2 up to 10%.

    Well-known investors on board

    With dynaCERT's innovation, existing vehicles do not need to be replaced and the market is correspondingly large with around one billion diesel engines. One of the largest European automobile logistics companies has understood this. The Mosolf Group has been working closely with dynaCERT since last year and with the investment of Eric Sprott, who invested CAD 14 million in a financing round, another prominent market participant came on board.

    CEO Jim Payne introduced the company yesterday at the 29th MKK Conference from GBC AG and the presentation is available via the following link: webcasts.eqs.com/mkk2020dynacert/de

    Need for investment burdens expansion

    The Canadian company Ballard Power has been developing fuel cells for more than three decades to use hydrogen as an energy source without CO2 emissions. Ballard Power's solutions are now used in many areas of logistics and energy supply. Similar to the plant manufacturer NEL ASA, the customer or state must be willing to invest in order to realize the development of a hydrogen infrastructure.

    In Germany, there is already a filling station network for gasoline and diesel consisting of more than 14,000 branches. The construction of a comparable network with hydrogen would probably cost well over EUR 20 billion. However, a modern network alone is not enough; then customers will also need competitive vehicles with fuel cells.

    Catch-up potential for the newcomer

    Considering that the response to the Corona Pandemic has put a massive strain on the public sector budget, it can be assumed that the solution of dynaCERT, consisting of existing vehicles and the filling station network, will have a competitive advantage in the foreseeable future. Bottom line, however, any solution that contributes to environmental protection is good and important. In comparison, however, stock market valuations still differ, with Ballard Power valued at EUR 2.3 billion, dynaCERT at EUR 150 million and NEL ASA at EUR 1.5 billion. A possible catch-up potential is obvious.

    The commercial vehicle industry is facing a massive transformation. Battery, hydrogen and more efficient combustion technologies are competing for a market in which millions of heavy-duty machines are likely to continue running on diesel for many years to come. At the same time, pressure is mounting to reduce fuel consumption and emissions quickly. This transitional phase is opening up a market worth billions. While major manufacturers are investing billions in powertrains of the future, technologies that make existing fleets cleaner and more efficient could stand to benefit.

    We are heading into a new economic era shaped by three interconnected megatrends: artificial intelligence, robotics and the exploration of space. While AI provides the cognitive framework, robotics translates this intelligence into physical actions, and space is emerging as the ultimate source of raw materials, energy and data bandwidth. Together, these technologies will not merely automate processes; they will shape the industries of tomorrow. Analysts estimate that investment in this AI-driven hardware offensive could reach up to USD 200 billion. As an investor, you cannot afford to miss this trend. We therefore take a closer look at the strategies of Siemens, First Hydrogen and SpaceX.
