's HydraGEN™ Technology Deployed at the Port of Rochefort-Tonnay-Charente in France
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.'

Tech stocks help boost S&P/TSX composite, U.S. stock markets also rise amid earnings
TORONTO - Canada's main stock index was up more than 200 points to cap off Thursday's trading session, helped by strength in the technology sector, while U.S. stock markets also climbed amid U.S. corporate earnings. The S&P/TSX composite index was up 233.96 points at 27,386.93. In New York, the Dow Jones industrial average was up 229.71 points at 44,484.49. The S&P 500 index was up 33.66 points at 6,297.36, while the Nasdaq composite was up 153.78 points at 20,884.27. The S&P 500 climbed 0.5 per cent to top its all-time high set a week ago. The Nasdaq composite added 0.7 per cent to its own record set the day before. John Zechner, chairman and founder of J. Zechner Associates, said there were a few positive developments for the markets. He pointed to U.S. President Donald Trump's remarks Wednesday, which jolted financial markets by saying he had discussed the 'concept' of firing the chair of the Federal Reserve but was unlikely to do so. For now, Zechner said markets saw some relief on that issue. 'On top of that, earnings reports this week have been relatively good. This is the start of the earnings season. The banks beat the numbers and then Pepsi came out this morning with some pretty good numbers ... so earnings not a disappointment,' he said. PepsiCo jumped 7.5 per cent after delivering revenue and profit that topped Wall Street's expectations. United Airlines flew 3.1 per cent higher after reporting a stronger profit for the latest quarter than analysts expected. Zechner also pointed to better-than-expected U.S. retail sales that rose 0.6 per cent in June. Overall, he said a few factors have come together to act as a tailwind. 'You're back to the same names leading. It's back to a risk-on the way it's been ever since those April lows,' Zechner said. On the TSX, Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. shares finished eight per cent higher on Thursday after the company announced a decision to step away from its plans to buy the Japanese parent company of 7-Eleven. Zechner said money that was going to be used for the acquisition of Seven & i can now be put to use in other ways. 'They won't get the benefit of this acquisition if it had happened, but now suddenly there's a lot more money there for buybacks, they'll focus somewhere else to grow by acquisition. I think it's more of a sense of relief. It was too big. People were concerned,' he said. Despite the positive signs equity markets are currently seeing, Zechner said he thinks investors could be paying more attention to downside risks regarding U.S. tariffs. 'My sense personally is that investors are too optimistic, thinking they'll back off once again. I think Trump needs tariffs, he likes them and he wants to get some form of them,' he said. The Canadian dollar traded for 72.71 cents US compared with 72.93 cents US on Wednesday. The September crude oil contract was up US$1.04 at US$66.23 per barrel. The August gold contract was down US$13.80 at US$3,345.3 an ounce. This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 17, 2025. — With files from The Associated Press.
