I do understand that a marathon can never be associated to an individual feat justifiably. However, if you consider the inherent purpose, you will recognize that Paul Carter’s biodiesel exploit nowhere falls short of that epic stature. Well, have you ever come across a biker who uses used cooking oil as biodiesel? If not, he is doing it. His bike expedition will spread a green message to exploit cooking oil as motor fuel across 20,000 kilometers of the Australian continent.
The bike is fitted in with an industrial engine, a gearbox and it has an automatic transmission. The whole ramble will ask for 650 liters of oil guzzling the fumy savor of fried vegetables.
I see things the same way as Dr Colin Kestell, the Senior lecturer at Adelaide University, puts it:
Nothing will ever totally replace the use of petrol, but by using biofuel as one option you start to chip away at this dependency. It could basically address about 10 percent of the transport fuel use.
Yes, his projections are faultless. Still, such efforts might make that eventual difference in spreading awareness among the Oz masses.
