The Middle East is a region where is king and fuel is cheap, often leaving little reward 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 come into sharp focus.

In a region that has one of the greatest carbon footprints in the world, one business is making the most of the growing pressure to discover options to oil.
