Dynamotive Gets Wood Residue Contract with Feedstock Supplier for its First Cellulosic Biofuels Plant

---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Dynamotive Energy Systems Corporation (Vancouver, British Columbia) and subsidiary Dynamotive USA Incorporated (McLean, Virginia) have finalized a wood residue contract with feedstock supplier Springhill Land and Timber Company (Taylor, Arkansas) to provide wood feedstock for the company's first cellulosic biofuels plant, which will be located in El Dorado, Arkansas.

The initial contract terms are for 10 years of sawdust supply from 25 hardwood sawmills in the region that Springhill has connections to. The 220,000 tons per year of sawdust will be converted into 34,000 gallons per day of Bio-Oil utilizing Dynamotive's fast pyrolysis process technology. In the absence of oxygen, the sawdust is fed into a fluid-bed reactor and heated to 450-500 degrees Celsius, flash cooked and extracted before it enters a quench tower, producing Bio-Oil.

Engineering design was provided by TECNA SA (Buenos Aires, Argentina) and construction is expected to start early 2010. Cost estimates for the project are in the $40 million range.

The company is also looking at additional future plant sites in an existing 43,000-square-foot building in the North Webster Parish Industrial Park in Cullen, Louisiana, and a third location in Howell County, Missouri.
