The College of New Caledonia and Purden Lake and Ski Resorts are extending their partnership to research thedevelopment of a biomass gasifier for operating a 40 kW capacity power generator. This will utilize on-sitebiomass and therefore, offset high costs associated with diesel fuel consumption for electricity generation whilereducing greenhouse gas emissions. The project will provide important marketing and social benefits.This applied research study will bring innovative solutions to several technical and economic issues related togasification systems and applications: (i) a low-cost gasifier in conjunction with a dual filtering system for easyoperation and maintenance, (ii) enhancing combustion and engine efficiency through syngas conditioning and(iii) completing the economic feasibility study with an environmental life cycle assessment and carbonfootprint analysis. This project is a unique opportunity for CNC to enhance its applied research capability in thefield of renewable energy with focus on biomass substitution for fossil fuels used for heat and electricitygeneration.Students and Faculty will be directly involved in designing, developing and implementing the system. Severalenhanced technical skills are expected as learning outcomes from student participation in this project: (i)designing gasification systems for electricity generation, (ii) assessing biomass resource quality through testingits physicochemical attributes, (iii) evaluating economic feasibility of gasification systems in remotecommunities, (iv) conducting a life cycle assessment for determining environmental impacts associated tosubstituting diesel with syngas for electricity generation.

新喀里多尼亚学院和Purden湖和滑雪胜地正在扩大其伙伴关系，以研究和开发一种生物质气化器，用于运行一台40千瓦的发电机。这将利用现场生物质，因此，抵消了与发电柴油燃料消耗相关的高成本，同时减少了温室气体排放。该项目将提供重要的市场和社会效益。这项应用研究将为与气化系统和应用相关的几个技术和经济问题带来创新的解决方案：（i）低成本的气化器与易于操作和维护的双重过滤系统相结合，（ii）通过合成气调节提高燃烧和发动机效率，以及（iii）完成经济可行性研究，并进行环境生命周期评估和碳足迹分析。该项目是CNC提高其在可再生能源领域的应用研究能力的一个独特机会，重点是用于热和发电的化石燃料的生物质替代品。学生和教师将直接参与设计，开发和实施系统。学生参与本项目的学习成果包括：（i）设计用于发电的气化系统，（ii）通过测试其物理化学属性来评估生物质资源质量，（iii）评估气化系统在偏远社区的经济可行性，（iv）进行生命周期评估，以确定以合成气取代柴油发电对环境的影响。
