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

But this year, as protests across the Middle East have actually risen the rate of oil, the concern of finding alternative sources of fuel has actually come into sharp focus.

In an area that has one of the highest carbon footprints worldwide, one company is taking benefit of the growing pressure to discover alternatives to oil. It's established the Middle East's first scheme to recycle cooking oil into biodiesel. It's proving profitable too, currently their client-list contains McDonald's.
