The War in the Middle East has disrupted the world's oil supplies and shone a spotlight on energy security.

But could this crisis be an opportunity? Travelling to countries heavily reliant on oil, we meet the scientists, entrepreneurs and communities pioneering renewables and green tech alternatives.

In Pakistan, a citizen-run solar power revolution is saving the day, providing more than 25% of total production in 2025. Entrepreneurs in India are trying to pivot to biogas, to provide an alternate form of energy to 700 million people living below the poverty line. In Bangladesh, with pesticides and fertilisers in short supply, environmentalists are pioneering chemical-free agricultural practices. In the Philippines, scientists are leading a wave of innovation in electric mobility - but the country needs to build enough infrastructure to sustain this rising demand.

With exclusive access on the ground, we see first-hand how this fuel crisis is fuelling incredible innovation, as entrepreneurs ask: is a life without oil possible?
