In August 2011, the MOU was developed to explore the cooperation for the development of pyrolysis oil market in the South East Asia Region for a period of six months. The MOU has allowed both firms to evaluate pyrolysis oil production and development potential in South East Asia, study Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB’s) as a feedstock, and begin exploring a collaborative business model to develop a strong leadership position in the sector. The extension will allow both parties to consolidate their cooperation, and subject to successfully meeting the established objectives, the parties enter into definitive commercial agreements.

Dynamotive & Genting Bio-Oil Press Release – August 16, 2011

The Companies agreed to co-operate in the development of the process pioneered by Dr. Desmond Radlein and Dynamotive. Under the terms of the agreement IFPEN would continue the development of the process at its facilities in France. Axens would contribute to the final stages of the process development and would commercialize the process once it reaches commercial stages.

Process Highlights:

• The bio-oil is deoxygenated to a sufficient degree to render it miscible with typical refinery feeds, minimizing investments and operating costs.
• Its oxygen content is substantially reduced so that any further hydrogen requirements related to post-treatment in a refinery are strongly decreased to a level suitable with conventional petroleum product upgrading processes.
• The product is essentially water free as the residual water forms a separate phase.
• The corrosiveness of the product is strongly decreased since most of the organic acids remain in the water phase.

These risks are generally outlined in the company’s 20F and other disclosure filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The project partners aim to develop aviation biofuels in Australia:

• The supply of sustainable biomass feedstock from coppicing eucalypts grown on farms is being developed by the FFICRC.
• Fuels will be made using Dynamotive’s pyrolysis technology and upgrading process currently being developed in cooperation with IFP En.
• Engine testing and fuel certification will be facilitated by GE, extending Dynamotive’s existing laboratory trials into specific work on aviation fuels.
• Demonstration unit to be set up in 2012 and then commercial biofuel plants development will be coordinated by Renewable Oil Corporation.
• The aviation fuels potentially being used by Virgin Australia.

Plant Visit:

The parties conducted a plant visit including review of  the process and the technical specifications of the plant. The plant was engineered by Tecna SA, Dynamotive’s strategic partner.

The parties inspected several different bio oils stored at the facility.  Bio oil stability and storage is critical to the development of a commercial industry.  Dynamotive has demonstrated that bio oil produced at its facilities is quite stable.  The inherent stability of Dynamotive’s bio oil allows for the development of a hub and spoke model, where multiple pyrolysis plants would feed a centralized upgrading facility.

• Dynamotive bio oil produced from sugar cane bagasse was successfully upgraded to synthetic hydrocarbon after  being stored form more than 8 years.
• Dynamotive bio oil stored for more than 3 years was shipped to IFP En at their facilities in Lyon and upgraded using Dynamotive’s process.
• The Consortium partners inspected bio oil produced at Dynamotive’s facilities in 2008 and 2009.

The Consortium partners  met again in Brisbane on 3 November to discuss the project development path and steps towards its implementation.

GE joins consortium to develop Australian aviation biofuel

Sydney, Australia – 1 September, 2011 – GE (NYSE:GE) today announced that it has joined Virgin Australia and a consortium of other partners to research and develop commercial biofuel for the aviation industry. The consortium will focus on pyrolytic conversion of biomass from mallee eucalypt trees and intend to have a pilot biofuel production unit operating in Australia by 2012.

The agreement comes as the aviation industry puts added focus on carbon emissions as it becomes covered by emissions trading schemes around the world. As part of GE’s ecomagination initiative, the company is already leading the way in the development of fuel efficient jet engines within its sustainable transport portfolio; the development of biofuels is a natural extension of this.

Ben Waters, Director of ecomagination, GE Australia and New Zealand said: “Innovation and creativity will play enormous roles as part of the transition to a low carbon future. We already invest a huge amount in the development of more efficient and alternative energy sources in the aviation industry and beyond, and we hope to bring a huge amount of knowledge to this partnership.”

A recent CSIRO report estimated that the aviation industry could cut greenhouse gas emissions by 17%, generate more than 12,000 jobs and reduce Australia’s reliance on aviation fuel imports by $2 billion per annum over the next 20 years through the adoption of biofuels. [CSIRO]

The consortium includes Renewable Oil Corporation, the Future Farm Industries CRC, and Canadian biofuels company Dynamotive Energy Systems Corporation alongside Virgin Australia and now GE.

As well as the development of the fuels, GE will assist with the certification process. Before being approved for commercial use, new fuels undergo rigorous tests in laboratories, on engine test rigs and then in carefully monitored non-commercial flights.

GE (NYSE: GE) is an advanced technology, services and finance company taking on the world’s toughest challenges. Dedicated to innovation in energy, health, transportation and infrastructure, GE operates in more than 100 countries and employs about 300,000 people worldwide.

Dynamotive currently holds 3,874,139 shares representing approximately 8% ownership in ROC; the transaction would increase the Company’s holding to 21,874,139 shares which would represent approximately 30 % ownership. The shares will vest in 3 stages, 1/3 upon execution of final agreements expected to occur in Melbourne the week of 11th July 2011, 1/3 upon contracting of demonstration units (expected in 2011) and 1/3 upon contracting of commercial units in Australia expected within 2 years of execution of agreements.

Dynamotive currently holds a Board seat at ROC and will continue to work closely with ROC’s senior management.
This agreement builds on a range of activities by the parties over several years and the past twelve months in particular:

• Progress with the upgrading of Dynamotive’s pyrolysis oil to mobile fuels for a range of transport applications (Jet, Diesel, Gasoline). The upgrading process developed jointly by Dr. Desmond Radlein and Dynamotive is currently being evaluated by IFP Energies Nouvelles of France and may lead subject to satisfactory completion of agreed milestones to definitive agreements for its development and commercialization. ROC as part of the agreement would receive an undertaking from Dynamotive that it would receive on similar commercial terms as other parties, licenses for industrial bio oil upgrading units.
• Development of pyrolysis oil as a fuel for large diesel engines suitable for marine and power applications.
• Work by ROC in Australia to shortlist sites that offer stable and competitively priced supplies of wood feed for commercial plants. This includes non-binding MOUs with three separate feed supply organizations.
• ROC current work with the Future Farm Industries CRC, Australia’s leading organisation for the promotion of mallee eucalypts as a new tree crop on farms across the wheatbelt. ROC and the CRC are co-operating to develop industrial production of biofuels in Western Australia with a major farm forestry program that has the potential to provide sustainable biomass for dozens of biofuel plants.

Commenting on the agreement reached Andrew Kingston, President & CEO of Dynamotive said; We have built a strong working relationship with ROC since our initial collaboration in 2006, our increase in shareholding reflects the confidence we have in the Australian market, the valuable work carried out by ROC and its partners and the project pipeline developed. I look forward to our continued collaboration.

Colin Stucley (Managing Director of ROC) confirmed that this agreement builds on a working relationship between the companies that is already strong. “We look forward to continued development of opportunities in Australia with Dynamotive’s leading technologies and support from our local partners.”
