2007年7月起麥當勞卡車用薯條油

麥當勞(McDonald's)用來炸薯條和雞塊的油，不久還將成為其送貨卡車的燃料。這家快餐連鎖公司將開始把烹飪用油轉化為生物柴油。

The oils that sizzle McDonald's fries and chicken nuggets will soon also stoke its trucks, as the fast food chain starts converting its cooking oil into biodiesel.

麥當勞計劃在年底前，讓其英國公司的155輛送貨卡車用上生物柴油，這些柴油完全是由其餐館收集的烹飪用油制成的。

McDonald's plans to run its 155 UK delivery trucks on biodiesel made entirely from cooking oil collected from its restaurants by the end of the year.

到目前為止，這家快餐集團的卡車使用的燃油中，95%是柴油，5%是生物柴油。該公司計劃在開始時，使用85%的生物柴油和15%的菜籽油混合而成的燃油。

The fast-food group, which to date has been running trucks on 95 per cent diesel and 5 per cent biodiesel, will initially use a blend of 85 per cent biodiesel and 15 per cent rapeseed oil.
