Bio-diesel made from food in oil-rich UAEClose

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

But this year, as protests across the Middle East have actually pushed up the cost of oil, the concern of finding alternative sources of fuel has actually come into sharp focus.

In an area that has one of the greatest carbon footprints worldwide, one company is taking benefit of the growing pressure to discover options to oil. It's set up the Middle East's first scheme to recycle cooking oil into biodiesel. It's proving lucrative too, currently their client-list includes McDonald's.
