The parties agreed to start from the development and preparation of technical and economic assessment for the integrated power and fertilizer project in the western part of Kazakhstan. The plant complex is expected to contribute to the development of agricultural sector and cope with the increasing demand of electricity in the western part of Kazakhstan.

Kazyna and Toyota Tsusho Co. are going to review the project which dedicate to the development of industries of Kazakhstan.

Based on this practical example in the United States, Toyota Tsusho has been advancing its global development and currently has 15 recycling plants in operation around the world.

With the establishment of a new directly managed joint venture recycling plant, Toyota Tsusho intends to conduct an environmentally considerate recycling business with the handling of scrap iron as its focus.

The company’s involvement in this project will be undertaken by its wholly owned subsidiary, Toyota Tsusho Gas E&P Australia Pty Ltd (“TTGEPA,” head office: Sydney, Australia). Regarding the acquisition of rights in the permit, the company plans on receiving financial assistance for oil and gas exploration from the Japan Oil, Gas, and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC, President: Isao Kakefuda).

Woodside is one of Australia’s largest players in the oil and gas exploration sector, and is a leading global performer in liquefied natural gas (LNG) operations. Together with its partners, the company intends to continue its ongoing progress in the exploration sector as it looks to discover commercially-viable gas fields.

Participating in these exploration operations is essential to realizing the company’s aim of constructing an integrated gas supply framework, from the upstream stage to downstream operations. In terms of future overseas operations, the company intends to be proactively involved in further projects of interest, securing natural gas resources and providing a stable supply to areas of high demand.

Japan Australia LNG (MIMI) Pty Ltd: 32.4123% (unaffected by the company’s participation)
TTGEPA: 7.5%

Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) are regarded as one of the prime examples of nanotechnology. Their unique electrical, mechanical and thermal properties make them suitable for a tremendous variety of applications. Thanks to a newly developed synthesis process, Bayer MaterialScience is one of the few manufacturers able to offer commercially viable quantities of CNTs with a constant and reproducible quality well above the 95 percent mark. In order to meet the increasing demand for MWCNTs, Bayer MaterialScience started up a new production facility in Laufenburg, Germany, in September 2007, thereby expanding their annual capacity from 30 to 60 tons. A new plant in Leverkusen with an annual manufacturing capacity of additional 200 tons of nanotubes is planned by 2009.

Baytubes®, CNTs produced by Bayer MaterialScience, can be used as an additive to significantly modify the properties of various materials. Baytubes® makes plastics conductive and can therefore be used to manufacture antistatic packaging films for computer chips or plastic containers to protect fragile integrated circuits during transportation. The addition of Baytubes® considerably increases the stiffness and resilience of composites: Components such as surfboards and skis made of epoxy resin composite can be designed to be far lighter and stronger in terms of mechanical strength.

"Together with Toyota Tsusho we want to explore new markets and new opportunities for lucrative industrial applications with Baytubes® .With their well-established offices and staff in all of the important markets in Asia, they are an ideal choice as a partner for us. Additionally, their reputation and standing in Japan is expected to contribute considerably to Bayer MaterialScience's objective of becoming a major supplier of high quality MWCNTs in this very important market," said Martin Schmid, head of the global Baytubes® operations.

FTD Fuel* is a family of cleaner burning synthetic liquid fuels made with Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis. It is virtually free from sulphur and aromatics. Earlier results in the test lab from this project demonstrated significant reductions in PM, HC and CO emissions from exhaust gas by approximately 50%, 20% and 20%, respectively, compared to those with conventional diesel.  In addition to these benefits, FTD Fuel is expected to be a cost effective alternative fuel to diesel as it can utilise existing refuelling infrastructure. Furthermore, FTD Fuel is considered as a promising option from an energy security point of view thanks to its flexibility in feedstock, and by providing a pathway to renewable fuel from biomass.

Since October 2005 Toyota, SSSKK and Hino, together with NTSEL have focused on the usability of FTD Fuel. The objective of this study is to test the compatibility of FTD Fuel with existing fleets and develop FTD Fuel dedicated engines which can give further efficiency and emissions benefits.

The objective of this trial is to demonstrate that FTD Fuel can be used in existing fleets without modification even in the winter season and to investigate the influence of FTD Fuel on fuel hose and injection parts of the test fleet’s engines.

This trial will use carrier vehicles owned by Toyota Transport and will be operated in and around Toyota City, Aichi and between Toyota offices (Toyota Head Office and Higashi Fuji R&D Centre).

* As FTD Fuel, Shell GTL Fuel produced at a Shell MDS plant in Bintulu, Malaysia is used in this trial.
