麦当劳(McDonald's)用来炸薯条和鸡块的油，不久还将成为其送货卡车的燃料。这家快餐连锁公司将开始把烹饪用油转化为生物柴油。
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.
麦当劳计划在年底前，让其英国公司的155辆送货卡车用上生物柴油，这些柴油完全是由其餐馆收集的烹饪用油制成的。
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.
到目前为止，这家快餐集团的卡车使用的燃油中，95%是柴油，5%是生物柴油。该公司计划在开始时，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.
