Techaero, a First Nation led Canadian-based SME is developing technology to use methane clathrates as analternative fuel source for Canadian northern communities who rely heavily on diesel. The main objective ofthe proposed research conducted by the University of Waterloo is to assist Techaero in designing anddeveloping a commercial scale operation which includes production, transportation/storage and regasificationof natural gas hydrates (clathrate). The objective to be achieved by comprehensive research aiming to developthe best (technical, economic, environmental and social) option considering Canadian specifics and needs. Thekey activities needed and planned to achieve the anticipated results include: comprehensive analysis ofavailable worldwide practices in producing fuel from clathrates; identifying existent knowledge gaps andpractical challenges; creating new fundamental knowledge and developing innovative technologicalapproaches to overcome existent challenges.

Techaero是一家由原住民领导的位于加拿大的中小企业，该公司正在开发一种技术，将甲烷笼形化合物作为加拿大北方社区的替代燃料来源，这些社区严重依赖柴油。滑铁卢大学进行的拟议研究的主要目标是协助Techaero设计和开发商业规模的操作，其中包括天然气水合物（笼形物）的生产，运输/储存和再气化。通过综合研究实现这一目标，目的是考虑到加拿大的具体情况和需要，制定最佳（技术、经济、环境和社会）选择。为实现预期成果而需要和计划开展的主要活动包括：全面分析世界范围内从笼形化合物生产燃料的现有做法;查明现有的知识差距和实际挑战;创造新的基础知识和开发创新技术方法以克服现有挑战。
