专访瑞典生物能协会CEO古斯塔夫.梅林

北欧绿色邮报网报道(记者陈雪霏)--瑞典生物能协会9月16-17日在斯德哥尔摩阿兰达机场举行高级生物燃料大会,吸引了欧美几十家政府,企业和科研单位人事进行研讨和经验交流。期间,北欧绿色邮报记者陈雪霏采访了协会首席执行官梅林先生。

梅林表示,瑞典决定在2030年在交通运输领域实现零排放,因此,需要大量提高生物能源的使用。瑞典及北欧都有这个优势。目前瑞典交通部门的生物能使用已经达到12%。

他希望欧盟能够同意成员国利用税收调节来激励生物能源的使用。

舍得霍姆说,瑞典在上个世纪五十年代,也是烟囱林立,空气质量非常不好。后来,他们实行了集体供暖,减少了排放。他们利用生物能,他们改进机动车的燃料,使用生物燃气,他们在2006年还实行了征收拥堵费。鼓励公共交通,自行车和绿色环保车等一系列措施。

录像是演讲的一部分。但主要内容和措施都讲了。就是说,环保车越来越多,越来越多的人采用公共交通。拥堵费很起作用。

McDonald’s offers online reservations in Sweden

Stockholm, Sept. 22(Greenpost)–For the very first time, McDonald’s offers online reservations. Selected restaurants across the country now offer guests the option to book a table and be waited upon – offering burger lovers an entirely new way of experiencing the new Maestro Classic gourmet burger. Starting tonight, September 22nd, dinner reservations are available for selected evenings.

Sweden is the first country in the world where McDonald’s will offer table booking service.

“We have a very exciting and tasty new premium hamburger coming to our restaurants, the Maestro Classic, so we wanted to give our most loyal customers a unique and memorable experience when they try the Maestro hamburger for the very first time. They’ve never had the opportunity to ‘book a table’ at their favourite restaurant in Sweden. With the new Maestro burger, we thought it was the right time to give them a chance to do so”, says Jeff Jackett Director of Marketing at McDonald’s Sweden.

Bookings can be made at more than 30 McDonald’s restaurants all around Sweden. Parties will be served a two course meal with the new gourmet burger as the main course. Reservations are handled through Bookatable at www.bookatable.se/mcdonalds

“We provide reservation services for a wide range of food establishments, from neighbourhood bistros and local favourites to Michelin starred restaurants. It was a natural choice to team up with McDonald’s Sweden to help them launch this globally pioneering initiative, offering online reservations for a limited period of time. We want to encourage everyone to take this opportunity to experience the new gourmet burger in this special way,” says Jonas Carlén, Commercial Director at Bookatable Sweden.

Table booking is available from September 22nd for selected dates between September 25th and October 2nd.
