Bio-diesel made from food in oil-rich UAEClose

The Middle East is an area where car is king and fuel is low-cost, typically leaving little reward to find more environmentally-friendly methods of moving around.

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

In an area that has one of the highest carbon footprints on the planet, one company is taking advantage of the growing pressure to discover options to oil.
