ARLINGTON, Virginia, May 29, 2007 -- Dynamotive USA, Inc., a wholly-            
owned subsidiary of Dynamotive Energy Systems Corporation (OTCBB:               
DYMTF), a leader in biomass-to-biofuel technology, announced it is              
taking part in a project to test biochar, a co-product of the company's         
BioOil(R) biofuel, as a soil enhancer to increase fertility and corn crop       
yields.  The project, initially involving 14 tons of Dynamotive-produced        
biochar, is centered in Iowa's Corn Belt, and aims to replicate ancient         
Amazonian Indian soil fertilization practices. The soils created then           
are now known as "terra preta", which means black soil, and are                 
considered among the most fertile in the world.

5.1 Full Description of Material Change                     

ARLINGTON, Virginia, May 29, 2007 -- Dynamotive USA, Inc., a wholly-            
owned subsidiary of Dynamotive Energy Systems Corporation (OTCBB:               
DYMTF), a leader in biomass-to-biofuel technology, announced it is              
taking part in a project to test biochar, a co-product of the company's         
BioOil(R) biofuel, as a soil enhancer to increase fertility and corn crop       
yields.                                                                         

The project, initially involving 14 tons of Dynamotive-produced biochar,        
is centered in Iowa's Corn Belt, and aims to replicate ancient Amazonian        
Indian soil fertilization practices. The soils created then are now             
known as "terra preta", which means black soil, and are considered among        
the most fertile in the world.                                                  

Dynamotive's BioOil(R) biofuel is produced using carbon-neutral fast            
pyrolysis. However, the use of its biochar co-product as an agricultural        
soil enhancer means the company's production processes would be carbon          
negative - resulting in a net reduction of carbon by "sequestering" it          
in the soil.                                                                    

The project is led by Heartland BioEnergy LLC, based in Webster                 
City, Iowa.  Heartland proposes to build a biorefinery in central               
Iowa that would include a BioOil(R) and biochar plant developed in              
partnership with Dynamotive and several agriculture equipment                   
companies.                                                                      

Heartland works closely with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's               
National Soil Tilth Laboratory, Iowa State University and Iowa                  
Soybean Association in studies coordinated by the Prairie Rivers                
of Iowa RC&D, an organization that addresses regional                           
environmental issues and economic development opportunities.                    

"Not only has Dynamotive's biochar the potential to raise high-                 
yield rates of corn another 20%, but we believe there is a real                 
possibility the char trial could also result in evidence that                   
could point the way to dramatic improvements in water quality,                  
which could have far-reaching beneficial consequences," said Dr.                
Lon Crosby, of Heartland BioEnergy.                                             

Dr. Desmond Radlein, Dynamotive's chief scientist behind the                    
company's proprietary fast-pyrolysis technology, added: "Because                
the biochar does not readily break down, it could sequester,                    
apparently for thousands of years, nearly all the carbon it                     
contains, rather than releasing it into the atmosphere as the                   
greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. Crucially, we expect it to boost                 
agricultural productivity significantly through its ability to                  
retain nutrients and moisture and host beneficial soil micro-                   
organisms."                                                                     

President of Dynamotive USA, Andrew Kingston, said: "By enhancing               
productivity of the land and crop yields, sequestering carbon by putting        
it back into the soil, and producing alongside ethanol and biodiesel our        
BioOil(R) that displaces hydrocarbon fuel use in industrial applications,       
we aim to show, with our partners, a virtuous circle of land, crop, fuel        
and environment management. The Amazonian Indians created the most              
fertile soils in the world, and today we may be able to benefit from            
adopting their land management methods."                                        

Dr. Crosby said the field trials will involve three strips of                   
corn crop land 800 feet long and 30 feet wide.  One strip will                  
have no char applied, but the second one will have 2.5 tons of                  
char applied per acre, and the third one will have 5 tons.                      
Further tests will follow.                                                      

For several decades, scientists have recognized that the most                   
productive soils in Europe have a char base, classifying these                  
lands as "black carbon" based. The role of char was poorly                      
understood and believed to be an indirect effect, resulting from                
the routine burning of crop residues from naturally productive                  
soils over centuries. Recent research from South America has                    
shown that the application of char to low productivity soils can                
turn them into highly productive soils.                                         

Dr. Crosby continued: "Subsequent research has shown that the                   
char, per se, is playing an active role in changing bulk density,               
modifying soil structure, regulating water storage ability and                  
loosely binding soil nutrients so they are retained and released                
for plant growth. Outside of the black carbon soils of Europe and               
the terra preta soils of South America, biochar is a minor soil                 
constituent. However, when scientists have looked, they have                    
found it, suggesting that char was, at one point, an important                  
soil constituent in many soils. It has been found at low levels                 
in native prairie soils in the U.S. and Canada. This suggests                   
that char application can significantly enhance soil                            
productivity."                                                                  

Heartland BioEnergy's proposed biorefinery is expected to serve                 
as the prototype for a series of biorefineries strategically                    
located across the Corn Belt that would use up to 17% of the 10                 
million dry tons of annually available cornstalk biomass within a               
50-mile radius.  Cornstalks represent the single largest source                 
of annually renewable energy in the U.S., and Iowa will produce                 
over 40 million tons of cornstalks harvestable on an annual and                 
sustainable basis.

DYNAMOTIVE IN IOWA BIOCHAR TEST TO BOOST CORN YIELDS, WATER QUALITY AND       
SEQUESTER CARBON    

Joint Research Project to Use Ancient Amazonian Farmland Soil Enrichment        
Techniques.     

ARLINGTON, Virginia, May 29, 2007 -- Dynamotive USA, Inc., a wholly-            
owned subsidiary of Dynamotive Energy Systems Corporation (OTCBB:

annual and sustainable basis.                                                   

About BioOil(R)                                                                 
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 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.

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-free conditions to turn dry, waste          
cellulosic biomass into BioOil(R) for power and heat generation.                
BioOil(R) can be further converted into vehicle fuels and chemicals.
