Regional Heat and Power Sharing System
to Receive Support from Japanese Government

Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) announces that its regional heat and power sharing system for industrial parks has been selected for support as a Next-Generation Energy Technology Verification Project by the New Energy Promotion Council (NEPC). This system, which aims to share and effectively utilize waste heat and excess electricity within industrial parks or localized areas, was jointly submitted for consideration by TMC, Chubu Electric Power Co., Inc., and Toho Gas Co., Ltd. Preparations to set up the necessary systems are now under way with the aim of starting the verification project within this fiscal year, as well as investigations and studies for possible adoption of the system inside and outside Japan.
