The Middle East is a region where car is king and fuel is low-cost, typically leaving little reward to find more environmentally-friendly methods of walking around.
But this year, as protests throughout the Middle East have risen the price of oil, the problem of discovering alternative sources of fuel has come into sharp focus.
In an area that has among the greatest carbon footprints on the planet, one company is benefiting from the growing pressure to find options to oil.
