Bio-diesel made from food in oil-rich UAEClose

The Middle East is an area where vehicle is king and fuel is cheap, often leaving little incentive to find more environmentally-friendly ways of walking around.

But this year, as demonstrations across the Middle East have risen the cost of oil, the problem of finding alternative sources of fuel has actually entered into sharp focus.

In an area that has one of the greatest carbon footprints on the planet, one company is making the most of the growing pressure to find to oil. It's set up the Middle East's first plan to recycle cooking oil into biodiesel. It's proving successful too, currently their client-list consists of McDonald's.
