Bio-diesel made from food in oil-rich UAEClose
The Middle East is a region where cars and truck is king and fuel is cheap, often leaving little reward to more environmentally-friendly ways of moving around.
But this year, as protests across the Middle East have pushed up the rate of oil, the issue of finding alternative sources of fuel has entered into sharp focus.
In an area that has among the greatest carbon footprints on the planet, one service is benefiting from the growing pressure to find alternatives to oil.
