Bio-diesel made from food in oil-rich UAEClose
The Middle East is a region where vehicle is king and fuel is inexpensive, frequently leaving little reward to discover more environmentally-friendly methods of moving.
But this year, as demonstrations throughout the Middle East have pushed up the cost of oil, the issue of finding alternative sources of fuel has actually entered into sharp focus.
In a region that has among the greatest carbon footprints in the world, one business is taking benefit of the growing pressure to find options to oil. It's established the Middle East's very first scheme to recycle cooking oil into biodiesel. It's proving successful too, already their client-list includes McDonald's.
