Bio-diesel made from food in oil-rich UAEClose

The Middle East is a region where cars and truck is king and fuel is low-cost, often leaving little reward to find more environmentally-friendly ways of moving.

But this year, as protests throughout the Middle East have actually pushed up the cost of oil, the concern of finding alternative sources of fuel has come into sharp focus.

In a region that has among the highest carbon footprints on the planet, one service is benefiting from the growing pressure to discover options to oil.
