The Middle East is a region where cars and truck is king and fuel is low-cost, typically leaving little incentive to find more environmentally-friendly ways of walking around.

But this year, as demonstrations throughout the Middle East have pushed up the price of oil, the problem of sources of fuel has actually come into sharp focus.

In a region that has among the highest carbon footprints in the world, one organization is making the most of the growing pressure to find options to oil.
