From about the author:
Paul Martin is foremost a passionate environmentalist, whose interest in the welfare of native flora and fauna started early in his childhood. Paul has been involved with native animal rehabilitation, specializing in ducks, and was in the Rural Fire Service for 10 years. A qualified chef, he completed his apprenticeship at the Sydney Opera House and went on to become an integral part of the formation of the Great Otway National Park, opened on 11 December 2005.
In 2000 Paul kicked the fossil fuel habit; that year fuel prices passed $1 per litre for the first time. Paul launched the first campaign in Australia to raise awareness of biodiesel. This included founding the Biodiesel Association of Australia and the Australian Biodiesel Group (now a public company). He also opened the first biodiesel bowser (filling station pump) in Australia. In 2002, Paul started the first dedicated biodiesel consultancy in Australia, Grown Fuel, which is his core work today. Grown Fuel first offered biodiesel process technology in 2005.
Not forgetting his roots, Paul is still a keen promoter of quality biodiesel made on either a small or large scale as a way of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. A strong believer in leading by example, he has only spent $132 on fossil diesel since 2000.
