Sometimes a good idea simply needs time. At dynaCERT, that time has now borne fruit. What began two decades ago as a hobbyist project is now a company with many units installed, a fresh leadership team, and a sales rollout across three continents. The technology is simple, the market is huge, and the timing is favorable. While others dream of hydrogen, this Canadian company is selling retrofit systems for diesel engines. The direction is right, and analysts still see significant upside potential.

    HydraGEN™ Optimizes Diesel Engines

    Some are building billion-dollar refueling infrastructures for fuel cells. Others are relying on batteries with range limitations. dynaCERT makes it simpler. The company takes an existing diesel truck, integrates the HydraGEN™ system, and reduces fuel consumption and emissions that very same afternoon. No new fleet. No waiting time. No frills.

    The principle is physically sound. Hydrogen derived from distilled water is fed directly into the combustion chamber, improving ignition and burning the diesel more completely. The effects are up to 19% less fuel consumption and up to 88% fewer nitrogen oxides. These are not laboratory fantasies, but TÜV Nord-certified values from real-world use.

    A Breath of Fresh Air in Management

    But technology alone is not enough. dynaCERT has understood this and, in recent months, set the course for a commercial breakthrough. The management team has been realigned. Jim Payne, who led the company for nearly two decades, remains on board as Chairman, ensuring continuity at the top. Operational responsibility is being taken over by Kevin Unrath, an experienced industry executive from the MTU and Rolls-Royce worlds, who oversees day-to-day operations as COO and is now driving implementation as CEO. With him came a clear focus on scaling and execution. He is supported by Bernd Krüper, the former Hatz CEO, who is driving European expansion as President. This is a team that knows how to win industrial customers.

    Solidly Financed

    Financially, the company is well-equipped for the next step. Fresh funds from private placements totaling approximately CAD 6 million have flowed into the coffers. An additional loan of CAD 2 million ensures operational flexibility. Liabilities have been significantly reduced, and working capital is being actively managed. dynaCERT stands on solid ground and is ready to grow.

    dynaCERT will present at the upcoming virtual International Investment Forum on May 20!

    Sales Rollout Across Various Continents

    In Vietnam, the company is active on the ground with support from Export Development Canada (EDC). The first 10 pilot installations are operational, and a service center contract has been signed. The country serves as a springboard for the entire Asia-Pacific region. Concurrently, discussions are underway in Japan and South Korea.

    In Mexico, a new distributor, Hydrofuel Technologies, has entered the picture and also covers the market in Texas. Test installations are underway, and the pipeline is filling up.

    In Australia, the distributor network has been reorganized, with a focus on the booming mining sector. And in Ecuador, the company is sitting directly at the negotiating table with the Ministry of Transportation and the Chamber of Transport.

    Establishing a Presence in Europe

    dynaCERT has long been visible in Europe as well. In 2025, the company relocated its German operations to Munich Airport. The new base is intended to improve proximity to domestic engine manufacturers, commercial vehicle manufacturers, and construction firms. The presence in Bavaria is seen as a strategic lever for further rollouts in industry. Last year, the company was successfully represented at bauma. Right in the heart of Europe's industrial belt, the Canadians were able to directly engage potential customers from the construction and heavy industry sectors. Since the new leadership team has German roots, there is already a large network here.

    An Unexpected Ally: The Defense Sector

    The defense industry has dynaCERT on its radar. Not because of green image campaigns, but because range can mean the difference between victory and defeat in combat. Getting further on the same amount of fuel is a clear strategic advantage.

    The Second Pillar: Certificates

    Then there is the issue of emissions certificates. dynaCERT has already had its methodology for calculating CO₂ savings certified by Verra, the world's largest voluntary offset program. That was a four-year process, and it is now complete. The next step is automation via the company's proprietary software platform, HydraLytica. As soon as the CO₂ credits start flowing, a recurring revenue stream will be generated, completing the business model. A revenue-sharing model with customers is planned, so both parties benefit.

    What the Analysts Say

    The experts at GBC have incorporated all these pieces of the puzzle into a DCF model. Their conclusion: The stock is significantly undervalued. They arrive at a price target of CAD 0.75. The stock is currently trading at just CAD 0.10. Analysts expect revenue to jump to CAD 21 million this year, and forecast a net profit of CAD 5.77 million.

    dynaCERT has undergone a transformation. The technology is proven, the management has been reorganized, and sales are ramping up across multiple continents. Analysts see a target price of CAD 0.75, a multiple of the current level. The combination of hardware sales, software subscriptions, and future certificate revenues creates a stable foundation. Those who believe in pragmatic climate protection will find one of the most compelling stories on the market here. The direction is right, and the potential is justified.

    dynaCERT, Volkswagen and Plug Power: Between Breakthrough and Cost Pressure! Who Will Take Off and Who Will Fall Behind?

    Volkswagen shows how rising costs and intensifying competition can put even an industry veteran under pressure. Have the deep cuts and strategic adjustments come too late, and can closer partnerships help turn things around? Plug Power recently landed a notable major order. Yet its gross margin in the latest quarter came close to zero. dynaCERT is taking a very different approach. The Canadian company makes diesel engines more fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly through retrofit technology. The innovative bridging technology has proven itself in numerous pilot projects, and commercialization is now gaining momentum. Analysts at the research firm GBC believe the stock is significantly undervalued.

    Is there any hope left for Nel ASA? The Norwegian company's stock is currently at a yearly low. Its latest US order failed to excite investors. What will it take for this former investor darling to get back on track? At ITM Power, a partnership with Rheinmetall in the spring sent the stock soaring. Since then, however, the share price has more than halved again. The company also collaborates with RWE and Linde. Meanwhile, flying under the radar, dynaCERT is working on a comeback story. The company stands to benefit from elevated diesel prices, while its German management team is fully focused on sales. Following successes in Vietnam, there is now positive news to report from France. Analysts see significant potential for further growth.

    Heavy investment, rising interest rates, shrinking margins, and the restructuring of established business models are currently shaping many stocks. While one company is financing the development of critical infrastructure, another is focusing on technology to make existing fleets more efficient. A third well-known company is struggling with price pressure and weaker demand in its traditional core markets. What matters most to investors is not the next announcement, but rather the resolution of the problem and its operational implementation, which will then be reflected in the order book and future cash flow.
