Bio-diesel made from food in oil-rich UAEClose

The Middle East is an area where car is king and fuel is low-cost, often leaving little incentive to find more environmentally-friendly ways of moving around.

But this year, as demonstrations across the Middle East have actually pushed up the rate of oil, the issue of discovering alternative sources of fuel has actually come into sharp focus.

In an area that has among the highest carbon footprints on the planet, one service is taking benefit of the growing pressure to find options to oil. It's set up the Middle East's very first plan to recycle cooking oil into biodiesel. It's proving lucrative too, currently their client-list consists of McDonald's.
