Toyota's Innovative Partnership for Boil-Off Gas Utilization in Hydrogen-Powered Vehicles
Key Ideas
  • Toyota introduces the #32 ORC ROOKIE GR Corolla H2 Concept, a hydrogen-powered vehicle, and a concept model that uses boil-off gas as energy.
  • The technology aims to reuse boil-off gas as fuel through a self-pressurizer, generate electricity using surplus gas, and safely release any remaining gas through a catalyst.
  • This partnership-driven initiative at the Super Taikyu Final Fuji event demonstrates Toyota's commitment to improving energy efficiency and achieving carbon neutrality.
  • Toyota's vision extends 'Beyond Zero' to create greater value and contribute to a safer, greener, and more inclusive society through innovative mobility solutions.
Toyota Motor Corporation is showcasing its innovative approach to utilize boil-off gas generated while driving in hydrogen-powered vehicles at the ENEOS Super Taikyu Series 2024 Empowered by BRIDGESTONE Round 7 Super Taikyu Final Fuji. The company will present the #32 ORC ROOKIE GR Corolla H2 Concept, a hydrogen-powered GR Corolla, and a concept model that envisions using boil-off gas as energy, seeking partnerships for technology development. Liquid hydrogen's higher density presents storage challenges due to boil-off, which Toyota aims to address by reusing the vaporized hydrogen as fuel. Toyota's technology involves a self-pressurizer to convert boil-off gas into usable hydrogen without external energy, generating electricity through surplus gas for enhanced energy efficiency, and safely releasing any remaining gas through a catalyst. This initiative aligns with Toyota's commitment to achieving carbon neutrality and 'Achieving Zero,' tackling societal and environmental issues. The company's 'Beyond Zero' vision emphasizes creating greater value and contributing to a safer, greener, and more inclusive society through innovative mobility solutions. Toyota's participation in motorsports demonstrates its dedication to evolving with partners towards sustainable practices and technological advancements.
