Bio-diesel made from food in oil-rich UAEClose
The Middle East is an area where vehicle is king and fuel is low-cost, often leaving little reward to find more environmentally-friendly methods of walking around.
But this year, as demonstrations throughout the Middle East have risen the price of oil, the issue of discovering alternative of fuel has entered sharp focus.
In an area that has one of the highest carbon footprints on the planet, one company is taking benefit of the growing pressure to find alternatives to oil.
