Bio-diesel made from food in oil-rich UAEClose

The Middle East is an area where cars and truck is king and fuel is cheap, typically leaving little incentive to discover more environmentally-friendly ways of moving around.

But this year, as protests throughout the Middle East have pressed up the rate of oil, the problem of discovering alternative sources of fuel has come into sharp focus.

In a region that has one of the highest carbon footprints in the world, one business is making the most of the growing pressure to discover alternatives to oil.
