High Efficiency Waste Powered Generation System in Cooperation with the Local Community
Winner
Toyota Motor Corporation

This is a high efficiency waste powered cogeneration system utilizing solid refuse derived fuel (RDF) made from waste collected from Toyota's own offices and factories as well as local governments and businesses.

Recycled use of incinerated ash for the automobile manufacture, and production and utilization of RDF was highly evaluated.

Features of Equipment, Systems and Facilities

  • Reduction of environmental impact by cooperating with local community

    Toyota Motor Corporation uses RDF for fuel of their own power generation plant. The RDF was produced by waste collected by neighboring local governments and businesses. Toyota purchases the RDF at a certain rate.

  • Highly efficient use of energy

    The maximum power output of the generation system is 16,000 kW. As the exhaust steam can be used as a heating source in the plant, the total heat efficiency achieved 85%. This is the largest thermal recycle system in Japan. Annually, about 50,000 t of RDF production is available from industrial waste and general waste, which is equivalent to a saving of 18,000 kl of kerosene.

  • Reduction of environmental load material discharge

    Toyota makes their utmost effort to reduce environmental load material including dioxin, NOx, and SOx. Also, Toyota has developed a technology to effectively utilize incineration ash as resin filler at their automobile factory.
