Bio-diesel made from food in oil-rich UAEClose

The Middle East is a region where is king and fuel is inexpensive, frequently leaving little reward to find more environmentally-friendly ways of walking around.

But this year, as protests throughout the Middle East have pressed up the cost of oil, the problem of finding alternative sources of fuel has actually entered sharp focus.

In a region that has among the greatest carbon footprints on the planet, one organization is making the most of the growing pressure to find options to oil. It's established the Middle East's very first plan to recycle cooking oil into biodiesel. It's proving profitable too, currently their client-list consists of McDonald's.
