Dynamotive's West Lorne Plant Back in Operation; BioOil Production Restarted July 17th

VANCOUVER--(Business Wire)--
Dynamotive Energy Systems Corporation (OTCBB:DYMTF) announced that
production of BioOil(R) from its West Lorne plant commenced on
Thursday, July 17 approximately 3 months from the time operations were
disrupted due to the fire on April 10. The plant repairs were led by
Dynamotive's engineering department, with the support of Tecna S.A.,
Tepsi S.A. and local suppliers. The repairs included key reactor
modifications that were verified during June at the Guelph plant.
Costs of these repairs are covered by insurance, except for a
standard non-material deductible. During the week of July 21,
Dynamotive will be conducting BioOil production tests on behalf of a
client using biomass sourced from Asia. Following these test
operations, production will resume the week of August 4 when Erie
Flooring, Dynamotive's sawdust supplier and partner, resumes
operations after its 2 week annual summer shutdown. This successful
restart puts Dynamotive back on track to supply BioOil for current
customers, power generation, and new customer product qualification
trials.

About BioOil(R) Biofuel

BioOil(R) is an industrial fuel produced from cellulose waste
material. When combusted it produces substantially less smog-precursor
nitrogen oxides ('NOx') emissions than conventional oil as well as
little or no sulfur oxide gases ('SOx'), which are a prime cause of
acid rain. BioOil(R) and BioOil Plus(TM) are price-competitive
replacements for heating oils #2 and #6 that are widely used in
industrial boilers and furnaces. They have been EcoLogo certified,
having met stringent environmental criteria for industrial fuels as
measured by Environment Canada's Environmental Choice Program.
BioOil(R) can be produced from a variety of residue cellulosic biomass
resources and is not dependent on food-crop production.
