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.

    Industry is under increasing pressure to address climate change. The regulatory framework is already in place, and emissions targets have been clearly defined. Yet even large industrial groups are reaching the limits of what they can achieve during the energy transition. Siemens Energy, for example, is reportedly considering spinning off a majority stake in its Transformation of Industry division under the project name "Voyager". The business includes, among other things, compressors, steam turbines, energy storage systems, and electrolysers. The move highlights the growing pressure on industrial companies to sharpen their strategic focus. In the global race to capture market share in energy transition technologies, success increasingly depends on lean organizational structures, specialization, and the willingness to rethink traditional business models. The restructuring of the hydrogen and energy sectors has long since begun; we examine the market and highlight potential beneficiaries.

    Given the current interest rate environment and inflation rates, saving money makes little sense. This means investors need to rethink their strategies. One possible solution to this creeping erosion of wealth is growth investing—that is, building positions in companies that are growing at an above-average rate. This allows retail investors to directly benefit from the companies' technologies or expansion. The trick lies in selecting promising candidates. Today, we take a closer look at memory chip specialist Micron Technology, energy service provider Zefiro Methane, and fuel cell pioneer Bloom Energy.
