dynaCERT’s Portfolio Company Cipher Neutron Launches Project with Simon Fraser University
TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$DMJ #carbonemissions—dynaCERT Inc. (TSX: DYA) (OTC: DYFSF) (FRA: DMJ) (“dynaCERT” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that its portfolio company, Cipher Neutron Inc. (“Cipher Neutron” or “CN”), has been awarded an Advanced Contract Award Notification (ACAN) to design and construct two (2) 250-kilowatt electrolyser stacks for Simon Fraser University (“SFU”).
This landmark project, slated to begin in Q4 2024, signifies a major step forward in green hydrogen innovation and its applications in academic and research settings. The project of Cipher Neutron and SFU is designed to propel forward-thinking research and innovation in sustainable energy solutions, leveraging Cipher Neutron’s leading-edge AEM Electrolyser technology.
Clean Hydrogen Hub
Located at Simon Fraser University’s Burnaby campus in Canada, the SFU Clean Hydrogen Hub is a new core research facility that brings together industry, community, academia and government partners to advance the clean energy transition. The project involves the development and deployment of a state-of-the-art one-half (1/2) megawatt AEM Electrolyser, custom-designed to meet the rigorous research and operational needs of the University.
One goal of SFU’s Hydrogen Hub is to build an anionic exchange membrane (AEM) water electrolyser using novel fluorine-free polymer membranes developed by Ionomr Innovations Inc. This research initiative is aimed at de-risking scalable, next generation hydrogen production technology. AEM technology is anticipated to reduce green hydrogen production costs while maintaining high performance and stability. The project is intended to investigate and validate the AEM technology at the 250 kW – 1 MW scale, which is a critical design window that enables scaling cost advantages for green hydrogen production.

This initiative underscores Cipher Neutron’s commitment to fostering sustainable technologies and supporting academic institutions. The high efficiency and robustness of electrolyser stacks can be instrumental in SFU’s ongoing research into hydrogen production, storage, and utilization. Cipher Neutron’s proprietary AEM technology can provide significant advantages, ensuring high purity hydrogen generation with superior energy efficiency.
Renewable Energy Research
The implementation of Cipher Neutron’s AEM Electrolyser technology at Simon Fraser University is expected to have a significant impact in the field of renewable energy research. Together, SFU and Cipher Neutron intend to collaborate to explore advanced AEM electrolyser technologies to enable scaling of low-cost green hydrogen production and foster innovation in the hydrogen sector.
Gurjant Randhawa, President & CEO of Cipher Neutron, stated, “We are delighted to collaborate with Simon Fraser University on this transformative project. Winning the ACAN is a testament to our innovative capabilities and the trust placed in us by such a prestigious institution. This project not only aligns with our mission to advance green hydrogen solutions but also reinforces our role as leaders in the renewable energy sector.”
Jim Payne, Chairman and CEO of dynaCERT Inc., stated, “As a proud shareholder of Cipher Neutron, we are pleased to announce its groundbreaking project within a Canadian Clean Hydrogen Hub. This 250 kW single-stack AEM electrolyser project represents a significant initiative in green hydrogen technology. Cipher Neutron’s cutting-edge AEM electrolysers are positioned at the forefront of innovation, designed to offer unique efficiency and scalability. We support the substantial positive impact this project can have on the hydrogen economy and the overall sustainability of our energy systems.”
The Company also announces the grant of 9,065,250 options to purchase 9,065,250 common shares of the Company effective today to its employees, consultants, directors and officers under its option plan which was approved by the shareholders of the Company. The options have an exercise price of $0.20 per share and expire on July 12, 2029.
