FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DynaMotive Consolidates Operation Purely in Bioenergy Field

Sale of DynaPower Division is Completed

CANADA, BRITISH COLUMBIA, VANCOUVER, Apr. 11 -/E-Wire/-- DynaMotive Energy Systems Corporation (OTCBB: DYMTF) announced today that it has completed the sale of its DynaPower, its metal cleaning subsidiary to former employees. The Company is now exclusively focused in the bioenergy field and in the development of BioOil related technology and systems. DynaMotive will retain ownership in all of DynaPower's intellectual property and expects to receive on-going royalties from its patents. DynaPower produces industrial metal cleaning systems that eliminate the need for toxic chemicals traditionally used by the wire manufacturing industry to clean their products. DynaPower systems have been sold in North and South America, Europe and Asia.

DynaMotive CFO, Jack MacDonald said, “Several steps have been taken to streamline and concentrate operations on the core BioOil business and on technology development. The completion of the DynaPower sale marks the final step in putting DynaMotive on a single focused track as a pure energy company with concentration on the renewable biofuel markets through development and commercialization of its BioOil production technology.â€쳌

The Company also announced that, due to the divestiture of DynaPower and in order to streamline administrative and financial operations, some non-core staff positions have been eliminated. Principally, the staffing cost reductions are due to the DynaPower divestment, but are also due to the introduction of strategic partners such as Tecna, which brings engineering resources and EcoSecurities, which brings financial and strategic partnering expertise pertaining to renewable energy markets. The Company maintains full operational functionality at its R&D; BioOil facility in Vancouver and a full staff complement related to the commercial-scale BioOil project developments announced in Canada and the UK. The Company is now squarely focused on capturing market share in the rapidly growing renewable energy business. Recent increases in prices for fossil fuel commodities further enhance the value proposition brought by DynaMotive’s biomass waste-to-energy technology.

DynaMotive is an energy systems company that is focused on the development of innovative energy solutions based on its patented pyrolysis system. Through the application of its technology and know-how, the Company intends to tap into abundant organic resources that are generally discarded by the agricultural and forest industries at a cost, and economically convert them into a renewable and environmentally friendly fuel. Examples include forestry residues such as wood and bark and agricultural residues such as sugar cane bagasse. The Company has successfully converted each of these residues into BioOil and char making them a renewable and environmentally friendly oil and char reserve that is available worldwide.
