Bio-diesel made from food in oil-rich UAEClose

The Middle East is a region where automobile is king and fuel is low-cost, typically leaving little incentive to find more environmentally-friendly ways of moving.

But this year, as demonstrations throughout the Middle East have actually pressed up the rate of oil, the problem of sources of fuel has actually entered sharp focus.

In an area that has one of the highest carbon footprints in the world, one service is making the most 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 profitable too, currently their client-list consists of McDonald's.
