dynaCERT – HydraGEN™ Technology Deployed at the Port of Rochefort-Tonnay-Charente in France
TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–dynaCERT Inc. (TSX: DYA) (OTCQB: DYFSF) (FRA: DMJ) (“dynaCERT” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the first deployment of its HydraGEN™ Technology on cranes at the Port of Rochefort-Tonnay-Charentes in France (the “Port”).
On July 1, 2025, the first crane in the Port was equipped with dynaCERT’s HydraGEN™ Technology. This is the first time this technology has been installed on a port crane in France, making the Port a pioneer in this endeavour. The Port authority has announced the deployment of this system on the four other cranes at the Port before the end of the year.
The Port seeks to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions caused by port tools, machinery and equipment. HydraGEN™ Technology represents an investment of €58,000 by the Port.
The leaders of the Syndicat Mixte Charente-Atlantique and IPMD, the French distributor of dynaCERT, officially inaugurated the installation of the first HydraGEN™ Technology device on the port’s infrastructure cranes.
To validate the use of dynaCERT’s HydraGEN™ Technology, the Port has been conducting tests since December 2024. The Port and IPMD conducted tests on a port crane equipped with a Scania engine. Port tests consisted of measuring emissions when using the crane with dynaCERT’s HydraGEN™ Technology and without and comparing results. The Port was satisfied with the results concluding that they attest to the ability of HydraGEN™ to improve its GHG footprint.
Gérard Pons, President of the Rochefort-Tonnay-Charente Commercial Port Joint Association, stated:
With this choice, we are reducing our environmental footprint and saving fuel.
“The Port, thus becoming more competitive, is looking to the future and is consistent with the desire to maintain a cutting-edge Port, attractive to businesses and investors. This system is not just a technical improvement; it reflects our vision for a Rochefort focused on the future.”
Rémi Justinien, Vice-President of the Region responsible for the maritime economy, tourism, and the territorial economy, was present at the launch to reaffirm the support of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region for the innovative and committed approach of the Rochefort-Tonnay-Charente Port. The Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region has supported the preliminary measures and is committed to finance the investment required to equip the port’s five cranes.
Jim Payne, Chairman and CEO of dynaCERT, stated:
The entire team at dynaCERT, along with dynaCERT GmbH team in Europe is very pleased to see the progress of IPMD, our French distributor in Europe, along with the acceptance of our HydraGEN™ Technology which is designed to reduce carbon emissions on diesel engines.
“We congratulate the Port of Rochefort-Tonnay-Charentes for its commitment and its progress in reducing global GHG emissions.”
