dynaCERT Expands into the Port Market: French Port Equips Crane Fleet with HydraGEN™

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.

“With this decision, we are reducing our ecological footprint and saving fuel at the same time. This will make the port more competitive and sustainable,” explained Gérard Pons, President of the Rochefort-Tonnay-Charente Port of Commerce Syndicat Mixte, in the French trade publication Le marin.

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%.

Beyond its environmental benefits, the technology improves engine performance and extends maintenance intervals — delivering clear operational and economic advantages for port operators.

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™.

Ports emit millions of tons of CO₂ annually; seaports in Germany alone emit approximately 155 million kilograms of CO₂ annually, 70% of which is linked to diesel-powered port equipment.

With Rochefort deployment, dynaCERT is positioning itself as a strategic technology partner for sustainable port logistics, particularly in Europe, where EU regulations for port emissions, such as e.g. FuelEU Maritime or Fit for 55, are being gradually tightened.

Building on its success in France, dynaCERT is now expanding its business in the maritime and industrial sectors. In addition to its core markets transportation and logistics, mining, construction, and power generation, the port and marine infrastructure sector is becoming an additional growth driver.

“Our commitment to ports and maritime infrastructure demonstrates that HydraGEN™ is not only suited for vehicles but also for a broad range of industrial applications,” said Jim Payne, CEO of dynaCERT. “We are witnessing growing demand for field-proven technologies that reduce emissions without requiring the replacement of existing engines — a critical solution for industries balancing environmental transformation and economic efficiency.”

In addition to its HydraGEN™ hardware, dynaCERT offers HydraLytica™, a cloud-based analytics platform for emissions monitoring and verification — a foundation for monetizing CO₂ reductions. Website: www.dynaCERT.com.
