Smart Bridge Technology Targets a Large Market
The Toronto-based cleantech company specializes in the development and commercialization of innovative technologies to reduce fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions in internal combustion engines, thereby aligning with current regulatory and economic trends. At the heart of the business strategy is the combination of hardware-based efficiency improvements and digital emissions monitoring.
The patented and proprietary HydraGEN™ solution is based on an on-board electrolysis system that generates hydrogen and pure oxygen as needed. These gases are fed into the internal combustion engine via the fresh air intake, thereby improving efficiency. The result is measurable reductions in both fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions. Independent testing indicates potential fuel savings of up to 19.2% and nitrogen oxide reductions of up to 88%, depending on operating conditions.
HydraGEN™ technology is scalable and was designed for a wide range of applications. Applications worldwide range from commercial vehicles in road transport and mining equipment to applications in the oil and gas industry, the off-road construction sector, port handling facilities, and stationary power generators.
dynaCERT addresses a large market that has so far been only partially tapped. Current market conditions, in particular, are drawing attention to retrofitting existing diesel technology to improve efficiency in an environment of high fuel prices, increasing regulatory requirements, and the growing importance of CO₂ pricing systems.
Tailwind From International Climate Protection Instruments
Internationally, climate protection instruments are on the rise, from which Canadians are benefiting. There are several political and market-based mechanisms through which countries and organizations aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and limit climate change. One such instrument is the EU Emissions Trading System, which launched in 2005 and has been gradually tightened since then. Energy producers, energy-intensive industries, intra-European air traffic, and, increasingly, shipping are particularly affected. Estimates put the average price of an EU emissions allowance at EUR 104 per ton for the current year.
New CEO and Accelerated Growth
The company has fundamentally restructured itself over the past two years. In the past, significant investments were made in research and development, in-house production capacities were built up, and several international markets were tapped.
The recent leadership transition marks a shift toward commercialization. After more than 10 years, CEO Jim Payne handed the reins to former Chief Operating Officer Kevin Unrath. Payne will serve as Chairman of the Board going forward and represents continuity.
Unrath has overseen key processes in the past and guided the alignment of dynaCERT’s platform and technology with customer requirements. The goal now is to accelerate commercialization. A solid foundation for this was already established in the past and was further strengthened last year. The markets in Vietnam and Mexico will play a special role in future revenue generation.
Unrath possesses extensive technical and operational expertise, which he gained through his work at the engineering group Hatz and at MTU, enabling him to successfully shape the company’s next chapter of growth. Unrath is supported by the well-known industry executive Bernd Krüper. As the former CEO of Hatz and through his leadership roles at Daimler, MTU, Rolls-Royce, and Tognum, Krüper understands how industrial markets function and how companies successfully scale.
HydraLytica as a Second Pillar
Another key component of the business model is the company’s proprietary telematics platform, HydraLytica. This platform enables the precise collection and analysis of operational data, particularly fuel consumption and the resulting greenhouse gas emissions. The data obtained forms the basis for quantifying and potentially monetizing CO₂ savings, for example within the framework of international emissions markets.
An important milestone in this context is the certification of the dynaCERT methodology by Verra. With the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), Verra operates the world’s largest program for voluntary emissions credits, measured by the number of credits issued. Its market significance is correspondingly high. This validation opens up future access to the global market for emissions credits for the Canadian company and demonstrates the technology’s acceptance within the regulatory environment.
Currently, shares are trading at CAD 0.11, valuing the company at CAD 56 million. GBC analysts identify a significant undervaluation and recommend the stock as a “Buy”. The experts’ price target of CAD 0.75 signals enormous upside potential.
dynaCERT delivers the right answers regarding cost efficiency and greenhouse gas reduction at the right time. The stock market has so far ignored the progress and potential of this cleantech company. This opens up enormous opportunities for forward-thinking and patient investors. Analysts at GBC have set a price target of CAD 0.75 for the stock, which is currently trading at just CAD 0.11.
