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, often leaving little incentive to discover more environmentally-friendly ways of moving around.

But this year, as demonstrations throughout the Middle East have actually risen the cost of oil, the concern of discovering alternative sources of fuel has actually entered sharp focus.

In a region that has one of the greatest carbon footprints in the world, one service is making the most of the growing pressure to discover alternatives to oil.
