Seven-Eleven Japan and Toyota launch CO2 reduction project

0

Seven-Eleven Japan Co., Ltd. and Toyota Motor Corporation entered into a basic agreement in August 2017 regarding considerations toward energy conservation and carbon dioxide (CO2) emission reduction in store distribution and operation.

Toyota has been investigating the use of newly developed fuel cell trucks and fuel cell generators, and the project will be implemented in stages starting in 2019.

The project aims to introduce technologies and systems developed by Toyota in Seven-Eleven store operation and distribution, reducing CO2 emissions. Stationary fuel cell generators (FC generators) and rechargeable batteries will be introduced at stores, managed centrally by building energy management systems (BEMS), raising the proportion of renewable energy and electric power derived from hydrogen (H2) used. A newly developed small fuel cell truck (small FC truck) will be introduced in the distribution process, aiming to achieve zero emissions of substances of concern including CO2.
