Toyota develops efficient power generation system

October 13, 2002

NAGYOA — Toyota Motor Corp said Friday it has developed the world's most efficient dispersive power generation system by combining a fuel-cell battery and a micro gas turbine.

For its power source, the hybrid cogeneration system uses the same natural gas that is employed in households. It produces much less environmentally harmful chemicals such as carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide in the process of power generation, Toyota said. (Kyodo News)
