Welcome

I am a freelance journalist, editor, scientific writer, and web writer, based in Wellington, NZ.

Wath for the next issue of e.nz for some of my work.

I am currently working on a book about how New Zealand can carbon-neutralise its transport system. This will be a practical book for practical people. NZ's economy runs on diesel. If you're involved in transport, or if you depend on diesel to make your living, I'd like to hear from you. You can email me at

I've been researching and writing about biofuels since 2004, and I'm convinced that some biofuels offer a legitimate technological solution to transport-related climate change. I am mainly interested in heavy transport: trucks, boats, and aircraft, which is why this site is the best resource for NZ biodiesel users. Biodiesel is a so-called "first-generation" agricultural biofuel that is likely to be an excellent carbon-neutral lubricity additive. It's unlikely to become a mainstream fuel, but it's worth supporting because adding a few percent of biodiesel to our fuel supply can trim greenhouse emissions, and it's here now.
