Bio-diesel made from food in oil-rich UAEClose
The Middle East is a region where automobile is king and fuel is low-cost, little reward to discover more environmentally-friendly ways of moving around.
But this year, as demonstrations throughout the Middle East have actually pressed up the rate of oil, the problem of finding alternative sources of fuel has actually entered into sharp focus.
In a region that has among the highest carbon footprints in the world, one company is benefiting from the growing pressure to find options to oil.
