dynaCERT Initiates Carbon Credit Applications for its HydraGEN™ Technology
TORONTO, ON-(Globe Newswire - March 26, 2019) - dynaCERT Inc. (TSX VENTURE: DYA) (OTCQB: DYFSF) (FRA: DMJ) ("dynaCERT" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has initiated the world-wide process of Carbon Credit applications for its HydraGEN™ Technology and engaged International Environmental Partners Limited of the UK to assist the Company in this regard.
By reducing fuel consumption in diesel engines while at the same time reducing carbon emissions and other pollutants, the HydraGEN™ Technology can become very lucrative with the global market acceptance of carbon credits. For example, it is estimated that a Class 8 Truck travelling long haul routes can generate up to €$1500 per year (CAD $2278/year) in carbon credits based on the current market price of €15/tonne of CO2. dynaCERT's goal is to create a world-wide programme to enable any earned carbon credits to be shared with end-users of its HydraGEN™ Technology under a contractual subscription programme. To our knowledge, the only existing methodology today to measure and track carbon credits from diesel engines is dynaCERT's HydraGEN™ Technology and our SMART ECU2 electronics and algorithms.
The first three steps of dynaCERT's ground-breaking and innovative carbon credit monetizing programme have already been initiated and are as follows:
1- dynaCERT has created innovative proprietary software algorithms in its patent pending SMART ECU2 to track the creation of carbon credits, such as its "Systems and Methods for Tracking Greenhouse Gas Emissions Associated with an Entity" patent pending (see Press Release dated October 5, 2017). An International Patent application has also been filed. Mr. David Bridge leads the charge at dynaCERT in these accomplishments and continues to develop new electronic advancements related to our HydraGEN™ Technology.
2- dynaCERT has nominated to its advisory board successful FinTech entrepreneur Brian Semkiw, P. Eng. and has more recently engaged his organization to further develop software that will enable the tracking of carbon credits generated by dynaCERT's HydraGEN™ Technology. In addition, Mr. Semkiw will oversee that such carbon credits be validated, audited and digitally accepted in international markets. (see Press Release dated March 1, 2018). Mr. Semkiw's company, 3rdGP, is the world's first third generation processing payments company with emphasis on Blockchain and IOT payments processing solutions.
3- dynaCERT today has entered into a contractual agreement with International Environmental Partners Inc. of the UK and its President, Ms. Monika Wojcik, to manage two key dynaCERT applications in the certification of the carbon reductions generated by its HydraGEN™ Technology: (a) VERRA a highly recognized international certification organization based in Washington, DC for trading in the European marketplace where the trading of carbon credits is very active and which was been established as a major initiative of the Kyoto Protocol in 1997; and, (b) the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) for developing countries which has been administered globally since April 6, 2007 by the United Nations offices in Bonn, Germany, and which bases its criteria as a result of an EU Directive 92/57/EEC (OJ L245, 26.8.92) in the Kyoto Protocol (see Press Release dated June 7, 2018).
Ms. Monika Wojcik is a financial and environmental markets trader, sustainability advisor and passionate advocate for countering climate change and global warming. She advises global corporate clients and governments on carbon emission offsets, sustainability, and clean technology improvements and implementations. Before founding International Environmental Partners she has worked as a broker and trader for CF Partners and FXCM.
International Environmental Partners is a carbon credit advisory and trading house with global outreach.
Ms Wojcik stated, "I am delighted to be able to help dynaCERT add the environmental product offerings to its HydraGEN™ Technology. The attractiveness of carbon products and sustainability benefits will be effective to drive decarbonization in the regions and sectors that are underrepresented and of an urgent need to improve air pollution.'
Mr. Brian Semkiw added, "We are pleased to be working with International Environmental Partners as we apply their deep knowledge of carbon credit certification to the digital process of tokenization leading to monetization of the carbon credits resulting from dynaCERT's HydraGEN™ Technology."
Jim Payne, President & CEO of dynaCERT commented, "Our success in gathering this combination of world experts is a major milestone achievement and aligns with our Company's long term goal of becoming the global leader of monitoring and monetizing of diesel engine carbon credits. This goal was initiated with the development and filing of our global patent applications for our SMART ECU2 with its advanced tracking and verification capabilities and is now progressing swiftly to a genuine forthcoming accomplishment."
About CDM
The clean development mechanism (CDM) allows emission-reduction (or emission removal) projects in developing countries to earn certified emission reduction (CER) credits, each equivalent to one tonne of CO2. These CERs can be traded and sold, and used by industrialized countries to meet a part of their emission reduction targets under the Kyoto Protocol. The mechanism stimulates sustainable development and emission reductions, while giving industrialized countries some flexibility in how they meet their emission reduction targets. The projects must qualify through a rigorous and public registration and issuance process designed to ensure real, measurable and verifiable emission reductions that are additional to what would have occurred without the project. The mechanism is overseen by the CDM Executive Board (EB), answerable ultimately to the countries that have ratified the Kyoto Protocol.
In order to be considered for registration, a project must first be approved by the Designated National Authorities (DNA). The mechanism, in development for the dynaCERT HydraGEN™ technology, is seen by many as a trailblazer. It is the first global, environmental investment and credit scheme of its kind, providing a standardized emissions offset instrument, CERs, for mobile devices such as trucks, farm equipment, construction equipment and also for stationary power systems all of which are powered by diesel engines.
A programme of activities (PoA) under the CDM is the coordinated implementation of a policy, measure or goal that reduces emissions. Under a PoA, emission reductions achieved by many individual activities (known as component project activities or CPAs) can be considered in aggregate, without requiring each CPA to undergo individualized registration and issuance processes. This reduces transaction costs and makes the CDM more attractive and accessible, particularly to least developed countries that have not historically benefited from the CDM.

TORONTO, Nov. 18, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- dynaCERT Inc. (TSX VENTURE: DYA) (OTCQB: DYFSF) (FRA: DMJ) (“dynaCERT” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it is advancing its application for a new Carbon Emission Reduction Methodology to develop Carbon Credit projects from its HydraGEN™ Technology abilities to reduce carbon emissions on a world-wide basis.
With the support of International Environmental Partners Limited of the UK (“EP”), the Company has completed and submitted the application for a new Methodology to obtain Carbon Credits from the planned Carbon Credit projects to be made available to dynaCERT clients. The application, submitted to VERRA (www.verra.org) under its VCS programme, specifies an all new Carbon Emission Reduction Methodology. The Methodology uses the company’s patented HydraGEN™ Technology to lower carbon emissions and its HydraLytica™ Telematics technology to securely record carbon emissions and other non-personal data from diesel and gas engines. (see Press Release of June 7, 2018).
In anticipation of the number of future world-wide users of dynaCERT’s HydraGEN™ Technology, and the reduction of significant carbon emissions resulting from dynaCERT ’s HydraGEN™ Technology, dynaCERT is seeking to add Carbon Credit monetization benefits to its dealers and end users, such as truckers, trucking fleet operators and other diesel and gas engine users of its HydraGEN™ Technology globally.
About VERRA
VERRA was founded in 2005 by environmental and business leaders who saw the need for greater quality assurance in voluntary carbon markets. The organization now serves as a secretariat for CDM, VCS, JI, VIVO, Gold Standard organizations to develop the various standards and various programs they manage, as well as an incubator of new ideas that can generate meaningful environmental and social values of scale. Headquarters are in Washington, DC, and with staff working remotely in various parts of the world. VERRA is a registered 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization in the USA.
New Carbon Certification Methodology for Diesel & Gas Engines
There is no current methodology for any reduction in carbon emissions for diesel and gas-powered engines with a recording and collection of those associated Carbon Credits in use anywhere in the world. The dynaCERT application will set a new standard of compulsory compliance for such all subsequent technologies. This Methodology will be made available in all countries throughout the globe. Once accepted by VERRA, as part of the application process, the individual engine data collection and security will be certified as being secure by dynaCERT ’s consultants at Cosario Limited (Cosario) (see Press Release dated November 12, 2019). EP and Cosario will be responsible to assist dynaCERT to manage the carbon credit transactions through trading contracts and other innovative Fintech methods.
Grouped Projects
A Grouped Project is a VCS Program term, which refers to the group of carbon projects that are reducing GHG emissions, all such projects using the same methodology and the same base line for their adoptability, e.g. all the same type of vehicles, belonging to say company A developing a carbon project together with dynaCERT could be included in the Group Projects among other companies e.g. company B, company C and company D.
Under GHG Protocol Corporate Standard there are three (3) Scopes of emissions:
- Scope 1, direct emissions, all emissions coming directly from the activities, e.g. CO2 from the vehicle engines, CO2 coming from the production of power, cement, paper, chemicals, steel and heavy polluters;
- Scope 2, indirect emissions from the purchase of the energy, which has been produced from black, brawn coal, so still dirty energy; and,
- Scope 3, indirect emissions, e.g. supply chain used by the multinational and local corporations to transport their goods and products or travels of individuals by public transport, including trucking and air freight.
Ms. Monika Wojcik, CEO of EP stated, “The importance of decarbonizing the transportation industry, a sector that produces approximately one quarter of GHG emissions globally, has been ignored for far too long. For example, in the USA, transportation has overtaken power generation as the number one emitter of carbon emissions. The Carbon Credits resulting from the emission reduction in all the Grouped Projects to be developed by dynaCERT will give transport, off-road, and mining industries ways to offset Scope 1 emissions, while the global and regional industries will be able to offset Scope 3 emissions under the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard.”
Robert Maier, COO and Chief Engineer of dynaCERT, stated, “We have achieved a very important step towards a free market trading of the carbon emission reductions provided by our HydraGEN™ and HydraLytica™ Telematics technologies. Harnessing Carbon Credits has been one of our long-term goals which we identified a few years ago. We are now on the right path to create a continuous and recurring revenue stream for the Company.”
The VCS Program
The VCS Program is the world’s most widely used voluntary Greenhouse Gas Emissions (“GHG”) program. The flagship VERRA VCS program allows vetted projects to turn their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions into tradable Carbon Credits. Since its launch in 2006, the VCS Program has grown into the world’s largest voluntary Carbon Credit market. The program has registered more than 1,400 carbon reduction projects worldwide that have reduced or removed more than 300 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent from the atmosphere.
Carbon Markets
By using the carbon markets, entities can neutralize, or offset, their emissions by retiring Carbon Credits generated by projects that are reducing GHG emissions elsewhere. It is critical to ensure, or verify, that the emission reductions generated by these projects are actually occurring. This is the work of the VCS Program i.e. to ensure the credibility of emission reduction projects. Once projects have been certified against the VCS Program’s rigorous set of rules and requirements, project developers can be issued tradable GHG credits that are called “Verified Carbon Units” (VCUs). Those VCUs can then be sold on the open market and retired by individuals and companies as a means to offset their own emissions. Over time, this flexibility channels financing to clean, innovative businesses and technologies.
VERRA’s role
VERRA’s role is to develop and administer the program. VERRA provides oversight to all operational components of the VCS Program and is responsible for updating the VCS rules such that they ensure the quality of VCUs. The development of the VCS Program is supported by the VCS Program Advisory Group, a multi-stakeholder body that helps ensure that the VCS Program continues to serve its users in an effective and efficient manner and drives practical and robust solutions to mitigate climate change.
Projects Under the VCS Program
Projects developed under the VCS Program must follow a rigorous assessment process in order to be certified. VCS projects cover a diverse range of sectors, including renewable energy (such as wind and hydroelectric projects), forestry (including the avoidance of deforestation), and others. Emission reductions certified by the VERRA program are eligible to be issued as VCUs, with one VCU representing one metric tonne of greenhouse gas emissions reduced or removed from the atmosphere.
The VCS Standard lays out the rules and requirements which all projects must follow in order to be certified. Independent Auditing: All VCS projects are subject to desk and field audits by both qualified independent third parties and VERRA staff to ensure that standards are met and methodologies are properly applied. Accounting Methodologies: Projects are assessed using a technically sound GHG emission reduction quantification methodology specific to that project type. Registry System: The registry system is the central storehouse of data on all registered projects, and tracks the generation, retirement and cancellation of all VCUs. To register with the program, projects must show that they have met all standards and methodological requirements.
