DynaMotive Announces First BioOil Production from New Plant

    VANCOUVER, Feb. 13 - DynaMotive Technologies Corporation
(OTCBB: DYMTF) announced today that initial production runs in its new 10
tonne per day BioOil pilot plant have been completed successfully. Fuel
quality BioOil was produced from BC wood waste.
    The commissioning of the fully automated plant - which includes testing
of each technical component as well as all computerized control systems - is
on schedule, with an official opening planned for later in the spring.
Photographs of the plant are posted on the Company's website:

    Commenting on this milestone, Director of Engineering Warren Johnson
said, "We're very pleased with the progress to date on the commissioning of
our new BioOil plant. During the initial production runs, all components and
sub-systems of the new plant performed well. Our first production of BioOil
last week confirms that the basic process design is sound and allows us to
proceed with the commissioning as scheduled."
    The new BioOil plant was designed in-house by DynaMotive's Technology
Group and constructed at the BC Research complex in Vancouver BC. The plant
conforms to all applicable safety, electrical and mechanical design standards,
utilizing state-of-the-art 'smart' instrumentation and a high-powered
industrial-grade distributed control system (DCS). The plant was designed to
facilitate easy scale-up to commercial plant capacities. Once commissioned,
the fully automated plant will have a production capacity of 6,000 litres of
BioOil per day, providing much larger quantities of BioOil for engine and
combustion test programs.
    DynaMotive intends to become the world leader in the development of
technology to produce competitively priced liquid fuels from biomass. BioOil
is produced using patented technology that converts forest and agricultural
wastes such as bark, sawdust and sugar cane bagasse into a liquid fuel. Unlike
fossil fuels, BioOil is renewable, clean burning, low in emissions and
greenhouse gas neutral. As a clean fuel for power generation in gas turbines,
diesel engines and boilers, BioOil presents significant market opportunities
that DynaMotive intends to exploit commercially. The Company and its partners
are also engaged in research and development on a range of derivative products
that, if successful, could potentially further enhance the market and value
for BioOil as an alternative fuel and product source.
