As natural resources begin to grow scarce and world security issues threaten oil production, so fuel prices take a hit and the motorist has to pay more at the pumps. It is a familiar ever-decreasing spiral of availability and cost, but Jason Cattrell is one of the people who are pioneering a new type of fuel that offers hope to beleaguered motorists and concerned environmentalists alike.
Jason's background is just about as far removed from the bio-power industry as one could be: originally trained as a psychiatric nurse, Jason spent several years nursing in Essex, Peterborough and then Holland, where he learnt to speak Dutch - a considerable achievement! Returning to the UK to become a full time carer for his mother, but in need of mental stimulation, he found time to indulge one of his other loves - drama - and studied for a BA in Performing Arts. During this time, Jason started a theatre company, a passion that remains prominent in his life. He has written and performed many plays and recently took some of his work to the Edinburgh Fringe.
