The Middle East is an area where vehicle is king and fuel is inexpensive, often leaving little incentive to find more environmentally-friendly ways of moving around.
But this year, as demonstrations throughout the Middle East have actually up the cost of oil, the issue of finding alternative sources of fuel has actually come into sharp focus.
In an area that has one of the highest carbon footprints on the planet, one service is making the most of the growing pressure to find alternatives to oil. It's set up the Middle East's first scheme to recycle cooking oil into biodiesel. It's proving profitable too, currently their client-list contains McDonald's.
