DynaMotive Europe Ltd. Announces Acquisition of Border Biofuels Ltd.

    Provides Access to Commercial Power Generation Contracts Under UK
    Non Fossil Fuel Obligation

    Revenues Guaranteed under NFFO Contracts could Exceed US$800,000,000
    Over 15 Years

    VANCOUVER, April 23 - DynaMotive Technologies Corporation
(OTCBB: DYMTF) announced today that it has acquired 75% of Border Biofuels
Limited (BBL), a UK Green Power project development company with an option to
acquire 100% of the company in a deferred stock transaction. Through the
acquisition of BBL, DynaMotive has accessed 15 year power purchase contracts
in the UK for the production of 60 MW of electricity. Projects are to be
fuelled by BioOil. The contracts provide an option for, but not the obligation
to provide power. Revenues provided for under the agreement could exceed
US$800,000,000 over 15 years. The contracts provide an indexed and incentive-
based guaranteed purchase price structure which DynaMotive believes will be
profitable using its technology subject to the requirement for DynaMotive to
secure significant project finance for necessary capital expenditures, local
project permitting and securing reliable supplies of bio-feedstock.
    The transaction involved the assumption of debt by DynaMotive of pnds
stlg 200,000 for which the Company provided guarantee to BBL's Bankers, the
transfer of 75% of the shares in BBL for a nominal consideration of (pnds stlg
1) and an agreement to acquire the balance of BBL's equity for pnds stlg
800,000 in DynaMotive stock at the higher rate of $2.00 per share or the
prevailing market price at the time BBL becomes profitable under UK General
Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Furthermore, as part of the
transaction, BBL restructured its debt with its Bankers (pnds stlg 1,200,000).
This debt will be repaid from profits generated by BBL.
    Commenting on the acquisition of BBL, Andrew Kingston, President and
Chief Executive Officer of DynaMotive said, "BBL's capabilities and project
portfolio puts DynaMotive at the forefront of power generation through the
application of pyrolysis technology. The power purchase agreements provide
substantive revenue potential under the UK Non Fossil Fuel Obligation Program
and position DynaMotive as a key player in the European Green power generation
market."
    Stephen Ives, DynaMotive's Chief Financial Officer, worked closely with
Mr. Antony Robson, DynaMotive Europe's Managing Director in structuring this
transaction. "I would like to extend on behalf of DynaMotive, my
congratulations on achieving such a positive outcome for the Company and to
welcome BBL's management to DynaMotive's Group of Companies."
    Mr. Antony Robson, DynaMotive Europe's Managing Director said, "Over the
past year, DynaMotive has established significant relationships with engine
manufacturers, energy utilities, engineering firms and Government
organizations. This major acquisition of BBL yet further strengthens our ties
in the UK to develop and create a significant market presence in the UK and
our European target markets."
    Stephen Ives, DynaMotive's Chief Financial Officer commented "This
acquisition marks a major milestone in DynaMotive's move towards
commercialisation of its BioOil technology. It provides us with control over
every aspect of a range of well advanced projects for the generation of
electricity from renewable resources and a top quality project management team
of proven ability. With the support of grants from the Department of Trade and
Industry and our new partners, we are now able to demonstrate and prove our
technology on a cost effective and low risk basis. In short, we have secured
our route to commercial exploitation of our technology at a stroke, which is
very exciting indeed."

    DynaMotive Technologies Corporation is an energy systems company that is
a world leader in the development of technology to produce competitively
priced BioOil liquid fuels from renewable and non-depleting biomass. As a
clean fuel to replace natural gas, diesel and other fossil fuels to produce
power and heat in industrial boilers, gas turbines and diesel engines, 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.
