Bio-diesel made from food in oil-rich UAEClose

The Middle East is an area where automobile is king and fuel is inexpensive, frequently leaving little incentive to find more environmentally-friendly ways of moving.

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

In a region that has one of the greatest carbon footprints in the world, one business is benefiting from the growing pressure to find options to oil. It's set up the Middle East's first scheme to recycle cooking oil into biodiesel. It's proving profitable too, already their client-list consists of McDonald's.
