Bio-diesel made from food in oil-rich UAEClose

The Middle East is a region where vehicle is king and fuel is low-cost, typically leaving little incentive to find more environmentally-friendly ways of walking around.

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

In a region that has one of the greatest carbon footprints in the world, one service is taking benefit of the growing pressure to find options to oil. It's established the Middle East's first scheme to oil into biodiesel. It's proving successful too, already their client-list consists of McDonald's.
