All the northern off-grid communities of Québec currently rely on fossil fuels to produce both electricity and heat. Environmental, social and financial costs can be reduced by the deployment of clean and renewable solutions, such as geothermal technologies whose reliability has already been demonstrated down south. A profound change toward such a new source of energy in the North requires to better understand the thermal state and properties of the underground in remote communities, where data is difficultly available. CIMA+, which is a Canadian engineering firm with long lasting experience in different markets, proposes to tackle this problem looking at low enthalpy geothermal technologies for covering space heating and domestic hot water of buildings, such as ground source heat pumps (GSHP) and underground thermal energy storage (UTES). Given its strong presence in the North, with services provided to a number of autochthonous peoples in Ontario and Québec, such as Cree and Inuit, a partnership will be started with INRS. Prof. Raymond's team has been working to demonstrate the viability of GSHP and UTES in Nunavik for the last three years. Hence, the goal of the project is to map the amount of heat that can be sustainably extracted from the ground below the village of Whapmagoostui-Kuujjuarapik by means of GSHP and the volume of energy that can be stored with UTES systems for a later use. The recently developed G.POT method and a novel approach STOREmap will be applied to achieve these targets and ensure that cutting-edge geothermal energy tools will be provided to CIMA+ as a successful result of the partnership grant.****

魁北克北部所有的非电网社区目前都依赖化石燃料发电和供热。环境、社会和财政成本可以通过部署清洁和可再生的解决方案来降低，例如地热技术，其可靠性已经在南部得到证明。为了在朝鲜实现这种新能源的深刻变化，需要更好地了解偏远社区地下的热状态和特性，那里的数据很难获得。CIMA+是一家在不同市场拥有长期经验的加拿大工程公司，该公司建议解决这一问题，研究覆盖建筑空间供暖和生活热水的低焓地热技术，如地源热泵(GSHP)和地下储能(UTES)。鉴于它在北方的强大存在，并向安大略省和魁北克省的一些原住民提供服务，如克里和因纽特人，将开始与INRS建立伙伴关系。雷蒙德教授的团队在过去三年里一直在努纳维克努力证明GSHP和UTES的可行性。因此，该项目的目标是绘制WhapmagooStui-Kuujjuarapik村地下通过地源热泵可持续提取的热量和UTES系统可储存供以后使用的能量。最近开发的G.POT方法和STOREmap新方法将用于实现这些目标，并确保作为伙伴关系赠款的成功结果，向CIMA+提供尖端地热能工具。*
