Bio-diesel made from food in oil-rich UAEClose

The Middle East is a region where automobile is king and fuel is low-cost, frequently leaving little reward to discover more environmentally-friendly ways of moving.

But this year, as protests across the Middle East have actually pushed up the rate of oil, the problem of finding alternative sources of fuel has entered into sharp focus.

In an area that has one of the highest carbon footprints on the planet, one company is making the most of the growing pressure to discover alternatives to oil. It's set up the Middle East's very first scheme to recycle cooking oil into biodiesel. It's proving successful too, currently their client-list contains McDonald's.
