Bio-diesel made from food in oil-rich UAEClose
The Middle East is an area where automobile is king and fuel is low-cost, frequently leaving little reward to discover more environmentally-friendly methods of walking around.
But this year, as protests throughout the Middle East have actually risen the price of oil, the problem of discovering alternative sources of fuel has actually entered into sharp focus.
In an area that has one of the greatest carbon footprints in the world, one organization is making the most of the growing pressure to find alternatives to oil. It's set up the Middle East's first scheme to recycle cooking oil into biodiesel. It's proving successful too, currently their client-list includes McDonald's.
