Welcome to our new publishing initiative – OPM Publications. In conjunction with experienced digital publisher Alba Press we will be publishing Green Business related books, mainly in digital e-formats (Kindle, EPUB, pdf) plus hard copies.

Our first venture will be published on September 25th 2013. It is a new book entitled: ‘The Sleeping Giant Awakens: Bioenergy in the UK’. The author is Stewart Boyle – a former green activist and journalist who is now a respected Bio-energy consultant and woodland owner. The 409 page book will be a guide to the potential, the practicals and the vision of bio-energy in the UK – covering the heat, power and transport sectors.

This is what some people are saying about the book:

“This book is simply brilliant. Every investor, campaigner, politician and scientist should have to read this book before commenting on the debate or making policy decisions. It is the clearest and most thorough introduction to the subject I have come across.”    Richard Crowhurst, Editor, En-Agri

“In this comprehensive analysis of the potential role of bioenergy, Stewart Boyle sets out a vision for how the UK could harness bio-energy to meet a fifth of our energy needs. You might not agree with all he says, but for a refreshing perspective on the potential for this largely neglected source of renewable energy in the UK, this book is a great place to look.”      Tony Juniper, writer, campaigner and environmental advisor to Prince Charles

Jonathan Scurlock, Chief Adviser on Renewable Energy, National Farmers Union (NFU) describes ‘The Sleeping Giant Awakens’ as a: “timely, accessible and ultimately hopeful book, suitable for bioenergy novices and old hands alike.
