Cipher Neutron’s Industry Leadership
Cipher Neutron is a leader in the AEM (Anion Exchange Membrane)
electrolysis business, known by industry participants for its
cutting-edge technology and remarkable innovation in the sector.
Over the past years, Cipher Neutron has achieved significant
milestones, including the successful shipment of one of the world's
largest AEM electrolyser single stacks. Additionally, CN is on
track to develop a 250 kW AEM electrolyser stack, which will be the
largest in the world.
Furthermore, Cipher Neutron has secured undiluted funding from
prestigious government organizations such as the Independent
Electricity System Operator (IESO) and Alberta Innovates. This
substantial government support underscores the immeasurable
potential of Cipher Neutron's groundbreaking technology. With
upcoming projects ranging from small Megawatt scale to hundreds of
Megawatts, Cipher Neutron has positioned itself as an exceptional
investment opportunity.
Cipher Neutron's AEM technology is PFAS-free (free of harmful
chemicals) and does not require Platinum Group metals to
manufacture, ensuring it is both environmentally friendly and
cost-effective. Cipher Neutron’s scalable and highly efficient AEM
electrolysis system offers lower CAPEX and OPEX, making it one of
the most sustainable and affordable electrolysers for producing
Green Hydrogen.

billion by 2030, driven by a global push towards sustainable energy
solutions and the decarbonization of industries. As major global
economies increasingly invest in green hydrogen, recognizing its
potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and provide a
reliable, renewable energy source, the timing of dynaCERT’s
strategic equity acquisition is opportune.
