I was born and I live on a very
beautiful island a beautiful island the
New Caledonia and the inhabitants who
live feels very concerned about
the environment because for them
the environment is vital
it’s the center of their life is not it
not a paper on the floor
no emptying in the rivers a
intelligent energy management
but the most worrying in all this
is that New Caledonia is
one of the countries that rejects the most gas
greenhouse why and well everything
simply because they at 3 huge
metallurgical plant that concentrates all
an astronomical amount of coal
my name is margie junior I am
a girl from Ouvéa is a small island
north of new caledonia i
went to study in quebec
for four years in analytical chemistry
and I had the opportunity to integrate a
group of researchers in the project
was worn and is currently worn
about the charm towards his remy mentors
larouche that really opened me the
eyes on the challenges facing my
country I still remember him in
2013 who told me in tabaroo jj
fall it will you really install a
new coal plant there to
time but you know that your country is going
a lot a lot a lot polluted
tell me I have you like no I was not ok
I have something to offer you
do you want to do a nice job for all and
but above all country water I tell you
propose to work with you and on
green charcoal ok
but in reality I became aware
that the situation was serious she
was even very serious for a
Quebecers are interested in my little
island of the end of the world and it is clear that
the situation is serious in new
Caledonia ok certainly the energies
renewable energy are used
hydraulic as the dam spoil
where the wind turbines that are installed
which south and north of the new
Caledonia or solar energy
for example here at the Isle of Pines
but this energy production remains
marginal compared to those from
coal then it’s clear that in
New Caledonia 80% of
the electricity produced comes from the
coal combustion
and that’s where my coal comes in
green but before going any further
I would like to remind you what a
charcoal go small organic course of 4th
then the coal you knew
all mineral coal is
the accumulation of plant debris and
animals that sells is to ride there and
charred as a result of different
phases of temperature and pressure and
this for several million years
coal called man
charming and also from plants
except that it is manufactured in a few
hours we can also made him to
from the mud stations
purification or food remains
in short, to put it simply, we say
makes green coal with
biomass
but in both cases the coal
mineral and charm to come from
photosynthesis photosynthesis
you remember gold it’s very simple
it is a plant that will capture CO2 and
thanks to solar energy go
make material bar
leaves of the stems of wood and there you
go tell me ok orgy the green coal
and mineral coal are all
two made from plants
where is the difference
why one of the two coal and green and
not the other
well, it’s very simple in the heap
mineral coal the co2 has been
captured millions of years ago
when burning this coal the co2
released into the atmosphere is a co2
prehistoric that jostles
catching up this iron the coal towards the co2
was captured a short time ago so
a few hours with grass or
a few months with tree branches
or at most years with
whole trees one can say that these
plants has just died co2
rejected during coal combustion
green it was co2 young the balance sheet
carbon is therefore neutral
this is the first big
difference
the second of a big difference
it is that when burning coal
mineral
they release sulfur coal towards
name of mineral coal
yes and sulfur that has anything like
consequence the most fluid and the
respiratory diseases
the idea is to make coal
green from available biomass
in New Caledonia but as we
concretely how is manufactured
green coal well it’s enough
simple in the principle where it takes
first dehydrated the material
vegetable
then the tower proud as ‘rotten’
proud of the coffee then the compact and is this
that my coal is a good coal
quality I would even say it is
excellent work that I realized
with rémy larouche in quebec have
demonstrated that the heat capacity
coal is equal to 95% compared
to that of the best mineral coal in
effect we compared it to a
charming upscale charcoal
laboratory so I can say that man
tin coal is better than the
most of the mineral coals in
New Caledonia a study
technical and economic resources
biomass was conducted which allowed
to identify a potential co biomass
established annually thus 4500 tons
organic waste from sewage
recoverable by anaerobic digestion
thirty thousand tons of glass waste and
of wood 4000 tons of station sludge
purification of 1,300 tons of products
Related Sawmill brief all full
numbers to say that there are thirty two
one thousand three hundred tons of biomass
available in new caledonia per year
and we could produce eight thousand
tons of economically green coal
the project is ultra a viable we have
a production cost of $ 100 for a
green coal ton knowing that my
green coal is a tall coal
quality on the market it sells to
650 dollars a ton we have a
profit of $ 550 and we win jackpot if
in products 8000 tons of green coal
we have $ 5 million wholesale
500 million francs
New Caledonia could be a
example for its neighboring countries which are
faced with the same issues
that’s why the coal project
green is downright crucial for the
country I am aware that produce eight
thousand tons of green charcoal it’s not
big thing compared to 100000 tons
of imported mineral coal is
used by the Noumea factory
let’s be optimistic no yeah we can
very easily complete the
making green coal by importing
green waste from our neighboring countries
like new zealand australia
vanuatu and this idea is not
crazy other countries are already doing it
example norway which for five years
imports green waste from its countries
neighbors to make
electricity
why we would not do it here
New Caledonia it’s possible then
the horizon clears up on a mop on the
new caledonia imagine a little we
have a profit of $ 5 million
for 8000 tons 8000 tons of coal
green imagined the profit we would make if
in products ourselves a hundred thousand
tons of green coal if we produce
we ourselves our coal a coal
ecolo we will stop contributing to the
climate change
we will have better air quality
fewer respiratory diseases less than
acid rain
New Caledonia will be
energy independent
a circular economy will be created
create jobs and create
riches in any case me I say that I
say nothing soon
