Toyota and BP May Partner to Research Biofuels

Nikkei Business reports that Toyota has begun negotiations with BP on a joint research effort into biofuels.

By entering into a new partnership with BP, Toyota hopes to conduct research into areas such as the economic viability of biofuels, their effect on vehicles, and possible feedstocks. Talks are currently focused on narrowing down the research interests.

Last year, Toyota began trials of synthetic GTL diesel with Shell. (Earlier post.) The company has begun development of ethanol-burning flex fuel cars for the Latin America market as well. (Earlier post.)
