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

But this year, as protests across the Middle East have pressed up the rate of oil, the problem of discovering alternative sources of fuel has actually entered sharp focus.
