DynaMotive Announces Corporate Development Strategy for 2000 As It Commences Commercial Exploitation of Its BioOil Technology

    VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 22 -- DynaMotive
Technologies Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: DYMTF) today announced its
corporate development strategy for 2000 as it commences commercial
exploitation of its technologies.  DynaMotive aims to early position its
"pyrolysis" technology (a proprietary process that converts biomass waste into
a liquid fuel) in its key markets -- Europe, Latin America, the US and Canada
-- in 2000, and plans to develop permanent presence in these markets to
support expansion efforts.
    In 1999, DynaMotive has consistently improved the efficiency of its BioOil
production technology and has met all its technical development milestones.
It is continuing to produce high grade oil from biomass and has developed
engineering designs for scale-up facilities.  Furthermore, DynaMotive's
biomass oil has been tested successfully by various engine manufacturers in
Europe and Canada.  Testing programs continue and the Company will be
reporting on them shortly.
    "DynaMotive aims to establish its technology as the industry benchmark for
the production of biomass oil and early positioning is a key element in its
development strategy," said Andrew Kingston, DynaMotive President & CEO.  "To
achieve this objective the Company intends to work closely with its partners
at commercial, technical and research levels.  Having a presence in our core
markets is a cornerstone of this strategy.
    "We are confident that our open approach to market will prove successful.
Over the past six months, our contacts with private, research and government
organizations at various levels have met with excellent response and have
resulted in significant interest in our technology.
    "The DynaPower metal cleaning division also continues to expand its market
reach and is expected to meet or exceed its 1999 sales targets," Kingston
said.  "We are pleased with the progress of our metal cleaning division.
Repeat orders from customers demonstrate that the market is responding
positively to our technology and that the Company is increasingly being
recognized as a leader in this industry.  For 2000, the division will
establish marketing and manufacturing agreements in Europe and in the Far East
and build on the success of 1999. The Company will be reporting on the
division's performance shortly."
    DynaMotive Technologies develops and markets environmental technologies
that provide clean, competitive alternatives to traditional industrial
processes.  The BioOil division is commercializing a renewable energy
technology that converts low value forest and agricultural waste into liquid
BioOil.  BioOil can be used as a clean burning liquid fuel substitute to
fossil fuels to generate "green" power in stationary diesel engines and gas
turbines.  BioOil can also be used as the raw material for a range of
derivative products including fertilizers, air pollution control agents and
special chemicals.  The Company's DynaPower division produces industrial metal
cleaning systems that eliminate the need for toxic chemicals traditionally
used by the wire manufacturing industry to clean their products.
