Sustainability Challenges & Toyota’s Awareness Innovation for the Environment Major Discussion Topics
Environment Emissions, waste, biodiversity Energy Consumption Safety Accidents, injuries Mobility Congestion, Equal Access Quality of life Employees, customers, and communities Sustainability challenges
Awareness of Issues Automotive Powertrain Issues Accelerated consumption of fossil fuels 1. Energy Resources Global development of industry & technologyin the 21st century 2. Global Warming(CO2 reduction) Population growth (in USA, Asia, etc.) Increasing number of motor vehicles 3. Air Quality Three issues: Energy Resources, Global Warming, Air Quality
Oil Natural gas Coal Biomass Solar, wind, hydro, nuclear Future Automotive Fuels Primary energy Automotive fuels CurrentMainstream Gasoline, diesel Synthetic fuels(FT synthetic diesel, etc.) Fossil Fuel Mobile use Biofuels Gaseous fuels(CNG, LPG) Other Sources Hydrogen Manufacturing Residential Electricity Stationary Use Automotive energy sources will diversify into liquid, gas, and electricity

Key Aspects of Alternative Fuels Energy density Well-to-Wheel CO2 Resources
Diesel Gasoline Ethanol Hydrogen absorbing alloy (2wt%) CNG(20Mpa) High-pressure hydrogen (35MPa) Low Density High Density Lithium-ion battery Larger Tank Smaller Tank Energy Density Toyota estimate 10 Batteries Gaseous Liquid Volumetric energy density (Gasoline=10) 5 0
Well-to-Wheel CO2 Emissions Well-to-Tank CO2 (WTT) Relative CO2 emissions indexed to gasoline as 1.0 Tank-to-Wheel CO2 (TTW) Japanese 10-15 test cycle Gasoline Diesel Gasoline Hybrid Ethanol: sugar cane Ethanol: corn FT synthetic diesel: biomass FT synthetic diesel: coal Fuel Cell : CNG Electricity: coal Fuel Cell or Electricity: nuclear 1 0 -1 -0.5 0.5 1.5 Source: Mizuho Information & Research Institute report
