DynaCERT specializes in improving the fuel efficiency of diesel engines with its HydraGEN technology, which expanded into South American mines in 2024. The system adds hydrogen to the air intake of the engines, which reduces the emissions of pollutants like nitrogen oxide, resulting in cleaner combustion.

The company's technology works with traditional diesel engines and is being used across a wide range of heavy-duty industries, including transportation, mining and construction.

In recent years, DynaCERT has been collaborating with another alternative fuel company, Cipher Neutron, to accelerate the development of Cipher Neutron’s alkaline exchange membrane (AEM) electrolysis technology, a cheaper, more efficient method of producing green hydrogen. On June 11, DynaCERT acquired 15 percent ownership of Cipher Neutron.

On July 16, DynaCert announced that Cipher Neutron had been awarded a contract for a joint project with Simon Fraser University (SFU) in BC, Canada. The university hosts the SFU Clean Hydrogen Hub, at which Cipher Neutron will develop and deploy two 250 kilowatt AEM electrolyzer stacks. The technology splits water into hydrogen and oxygen using electricity, making it a key process for producing low-cost green hydrogen.
