Renewable Energy Technology Company Dynamotive Energy Systems Considers Possible Joint Ventures / Commercial Partnerships

Investors - February 17, 2010

Dynamotive Energy Systems Corp. (OTCBB: DYMTF), a leader in second generation biomass-to-biofuel technology, today announced that its Board of Directors has decided to formally explore certain strategic alternatives available to the Company. Dynamotive Chief Executive Officer, Andrew Kingston, said the Board has authorized the engagement of Cascadia Capital, an investment banking firm, as its financial advisor to assist the Company in exploring strategic alternatives that could include a possible commercial joint venture or partnerships, all with the view of maximizing shareholder value.

“In light of the recent accelerated activity in the biomass to energy market, from project proliferation to technology scale ups and consolidation throughout the supply chain, as well as recent expressions of interest by third parties in possible transactions with the company, it is now appropriate to initiate an external process to formally explore strategic alternatives,” stated Andrew Kingston.

The Company said, it does not intend to disclose developments regarding the review of strategic alternatives, other than the retention of its investment bank, Cascadia Capital, unless and until an agreement has been reached.
