The Middle East is a region where car is king and fuel is inexpensive, frequently leaving little incentive to find more environmentally-friendly methods of moving.

But this year, as protests throughout the Middle East have actually risen the price of oil, the concern of finding alternative sources of fuel has actually entered sharp focus.

In a region that has one of the highest carbon footprints on the planet, one business 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 lucrative too, currently their client-list consists of McDonald's.
