Toyota Tsusho enters biomethane venture: what it means for Toyota Tsusho stock

Toyota Tsusho (JP3635000007) is building a biomethane business in Indonesia with planned annual sales of 150,000 MMBtu from 2027. Toyota Tsusho announced the venture on October 6, 2026, giving the stock a concrete expansion story beyond vehicles, metals and trading.
Indonesia project targets 2027
The joint venture, PT KIS Toyota Tsusho Biomethane Indonesia, was established with PT KIS Biofuels Indonesia in September 2026. Toyota Tsusho Indonesia holds 49 percent, while KBI holds 51 percent, and the project will process palm oil mill effluent in South Sumatra.
The biomethane is planned for industrial customers in West Java through the pipeline network of PT Perusahaan Gas Negara. The project targets commercial operations in 2027 and annual sales of 150,000 MMBtu, creating a measurable operating milestone rather than a broad decarbonization pledge.
Profit growth meets cash pressure
Marketscreener reported on September 30, 2026, that Toyota Tsusho's first-quarter revenue rose 37.60 percent year over year to JPY 3.60 trillion. Operating profit increased 45.60 percent to JPY 184.40 billion, while net income rose 42.10 percent to JPY 149.30 billion.
The earnings mix also shows the counterweight to that growth. Operating cash flow turned negative at JPY 54.21 billion in the first quarter of 2026, compared with positive JPY 34.60 billion a year earlier, as inventories, receivables and tax payments absorbed cash. For investors, the new biomethane project adds a long-term growth option, but cash conversion remains a key measure of execution.
