Seven-Eleven Japan Co., Ltd. and Toyota Motor Corporation have
concluded a basic agreement for studies on energy conservation and
CO2 emissions reduction in convenience store distribution and
operation. The two companies aim to contribute to the realization
of a low-carbon and hydrogen-based society in the future, by way of
introducing vehicles and power generators to be newly developed by
Toyota that use hydrogen.
Specific Themes for Studies on Energy Conservation and CO2
Emissions Reduction
Distribution
Fuel cell trucks, in which the refrigeration/freezer unit, and the
truck itself, are powered by fuel cells, will be introduced as
refrigerator/freezer trucks for stores with the goal of reducing
CO2 emissions.
Store Operation
An energy management system, combining already-installed solar
power generators and the items listed below, will be introduced to
enable greater energy conservation and CO2 emissions reduction.
1) Introduction of stationary hydrogen generator utilizing an
automotive fuel cell unit
Under consideration is the utilization of a fuel cell power
generator as a power source at stores with hydrogen stations.
2) Introduction of stationary rechargeable batteries utilizing
rechargeable batteries for automobiles
A stationary rechargeable battery system which uses rechargeable
automobile batteries will be introduced to stores and may be used
as an emergency power source during disasters, in addition to
possible applications for energy conservation and CO2 emissions
reduction.
