Bio-diesel made from food in oil-rich UAEClose

The Middle East is a region where automobile is king and fuel is cheap, often leaving little reward to discover more environmentally-friendly ways of walking around.

But this year, as demonstrations throughout the Middle East have actually pushed up the rate of oil, the concern of finding alternative sources of fuel has entered into sharp focus.

In an area that has one of the greatest carbon footprints on the planet, one service is taking advantage of the growing pressure to find options to oil. It's established the Middle East's very first scheme to recycle cooking oil into biodiesel. It's proving successful too, currently their client-list consists of McDonald's.
