Bio-diesel made from food in oil-rich UAEClose

The Middle East is a region where cars and truck is king and fuel is inexpensive, frequently leaving little incentive to find more of walking around.

But this year, as protests across the Middle East have actually pushed up the price of oil, the concern of discovering alternative sources of fuel has actually entered sharp focus.

In a region that has one of the highest carbon footprints in the world, one company is benefiting from the growing pressure to discover options 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 includes McDonald's.
