Bio-diesel made from food in oil-rich UAEClose
The Middle East is a region where car is king and fuel is low-cost, typically leaving little incentive to find more environmentally-friendly methods of moving around.
But this year, as protests across the Middle East have pushed up the price of oil, the problem of finding alternative sources of fuel has actually entered sharp focus.
In an area that has one of the highest carbon footprints on the planet, one company is making the most of the growing pressure to discover options to oil.
