Bio-diesel made from food in oil-rich UAEClose

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

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

In an area that has among the greatest carbon footprints worldwide, one is taking benefit of the growing pressure to find options to oil. It's established the Middle East's first scheme to recycle cooking oil into biodiesel. It's proving successful too, currently their client-list includes McDonald's.
