The Middle East is a region where automobile is king and fuel is low-cost, little reward to find more environmentally-friendly ways of moving around.

But this year, as protests throughout the Middle East have risen the price of oil, the issue of finding alternative sources of fuel has come into sharp focus.

In an area that has among the highest carbon footprints on the planet, one business is making the most of the growing pressure to find options to oil.
