The Middle East is a region where vehicle is king and fuel is inexpensive, often leaving little reward to discover 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 sources of fuel has actually entered into sharp focus.

In an area that has one of the greatest carbon footprints worldwide, one business is making the most of the growing pressure to find alternatives to oil.
