DynaMotive Energy Systems Corporation

DynaMotive Energy Systems Corporation

DynaMotive Energy Systems Corporation was incorporated in 1991.
DynaMotive is the world leader in the development of technology
for the production of BioOil. BioOil is produced by converting
organic residues such as forest (e.g.sawdust, bark) and
agricultural wastes (e.g., bagasse) in DynaMotive's patented
fast pyrolysis process. The process takes less than
two seconds to produce BioOil, char, and non-condensable gases.
There is zero waste as the BioOil and char have significant
commercial application and value and the non-condensable gases
are recycled and produce approximately 75% of the energy
required for the pyrolysis process. BioOil is an ideal clean
fuel because it is greenhouse gas neutral, does not produce SOx
(sulfur dioxide) emissions during combustion and produces
approximately half the NOx (nitrogen oxide) emissions in
comparison with fossil fuels.

Fast pyrolysis refers to the rapid heating of biomass (including
forest residue such as bark, sawdust and shavings; and
agricultural waste such as wheat straw and bagasse) in the
absence of oxygen. DynaMotive's patented process uses a
bubbling fluidized bed reactor, which is
generally believed to be a simpler and more robust process than
other pyrolysis technologies under development. DynaMotive
acquired the exclusive worldwide patent rights for its
technology from Resources Transforms International (RTI), the
original developers of the technology. Figure 2 below
illustrates the DynaMotive fast pyrolysis process. Prepared
feedstock (under 10% moisture and 1-2 mm particle size) is fed
into the bubbling fluid-bed reactor, which is heated to 450)500
C with no oxygen. The feedstock is vapourized into gases and
char, which are spun through a cyclone where the char is
removed. The gases are quenched into BioOil and the non-
condensed gases are re-circulated to fuel approximately 75% of
the energy needed by the pyrolysis process.

Accelerate establishment of BioOil (pyrolysis oil) as a
commodity in the market place by assuring access to DynaMotive's
technology through licensing arrangements. Establish
agency arrangements with credible energy and industry
partners in regions where the Company has no presence with a
view to further accelerate market penetration.

Waste Biomass To Produce Biooil - A Clean Liquid Alternative.
DynaMotive's patented BioTherm technology produces clean burning BioOil fuels and derivative products from waste biomass materials including wood waste (fine sawdust, bark), agricultural waste (sugar cane bagasse, wheat straw) and the organic portion of household garbage. All BioOil products are greenhouse gas and CO2 neutral ?that is, they take in as much CO2 during photosynthesis as they give off during combustion ?and thus there is no net increase in CO2 emissions. They also produce virtually no sulfur dioxide (SOx) and less than one half the nitrogen oxides (NOx) of diesel or other fossil fuels. The core of the technology is the BioTherm reactor developed by DynaMotive's partner RTI which flash pyrolyzes, or heat liquefies, biomass to make BioOil. BioOil can be used as a clean fuel for power generation in diesel engines, gas turbines or boilers. BioOil is also the feedstock for a variety of value added products including blended fuels (for mobile transportation), slow release fertilizers, specialty chemicals and air emissions control additives.
