About Dynamotive
Dynamotive Energy Systems Corporation is an energy solutions provider
headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, with offices in the USA, UK and
Argentina. Its carbon/greenhouse gas neutral fast pyrolysis technology uses
medium temperatures and oxygen-less conditions to turn dry, waste cellulosic
biomass into BioOil for power and heat generation. BioOil can be further
converted into vehicle fuels and chemicals. Photographs of the Guelph and
West Lorne plants may be seen on the company's website. www.dynamotive.com
About BioOil(R) Biofuel
BioOil(R) is an industrial fuel produced from cellulose waste material. When
combusted it produces substantially less smog-precursor nitrogen oxides
('NOx') emissions than conventional oil as well as little or no sulfur oxide
gases ('SOx'), which are a prime cause of acid rain. BioOil(R) and BioOil
Plus(TM) are price-competitive replacements for heating oils #2 and #6 that
are widely used in industrial boilers and furnaces. They have been EcoLogo
certified, having met stringent environmental criteria for industrial fuels
as measured by Environment Canada's Environmental Choice Program. BioOil(R)
can be produced from a variety of residue cellulosic biomass resources and
is not dependent on food-crop production.
