Bio-diesel made from food in oil-rich UAEClose

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

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

In a region that has among the highest carbon footprints in the world, one organization is making the most of the growing pressure to find alternatives to oil. It's established the Middle East's first scheme to recycle cooking oil into biodiesel. It's proving rewarding too, already their client-list includes McDonald's.
