**AWARDS ISSUED PRIOR TO JANUARY 20, 2025, WERE FUNDED UNDER PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS AND MAY NOT REFLECT THE PRIORITIES AND POLICIES OF THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.** ISOLATED COMMUNITIES MUST ACHIEVE POWER GENERATION RESILIENCY TO MAINTAIN THEIR LIFE-GIVING INFRASTRUCTURE AFTER NATURAL DISASTERS, AS THEY ARE OFTEN THE LAST TO RECEIVE RELIEF AND TO HAVE THEIR UTILITIES RESTORED. SPOILING OF FOOD AND MEDICINE, INABILITY TO USE MEDICAL EQUIPMENT AND TO PUMP WATER ARE SOME OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF POWER LOSS, ALL INCREASING THE CHANCES OF DISEASES AND EVEN POSSIBLE DEATH. DUE TO ITS RECENT NATURAL DISASTERS, I.E. HURRICANES IRMA AND MARIA, AND VULNERABILITY OF ITS POWER INFRASTRUCTURE, PUERTO RICO IS AN IDEAL TEST SITE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SUSTAINABLE RESILIENT POWER SYSTEM. THE UNIVERSITY OF PUERTO RICO AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE INSTITUTE OF AGRICULTURE AND LOCAL NON-PROFIT AGENCIES ARE PROPOSING TO DEVELOP A SCALABLE, TRANSPORTABLE, AND FLEXIBLE OFF-GRID POWER GENERATION SYSTEM TO IMPROVE THE SUSTAINABLE RESILIENCY OF RURAL ISOLATED AND ISLAND COMMUNITIES VULNERABLE TO NATURAL DISASTERS. TO ACHIEVE THIS, WE HAVE IDENTIFIED FOUR OBJECTIVES WHICH CONSIST OF A FEEDSTOCK LOGISTIC ANALYSIS, ENGINEERING A TESTBED GASIFIER, EVALUATION OF THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE TECHNOLOGY IN PUERTO RICO, AND A SOCIAL, ECONOMIC, ENVIRONMENTAL AND EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH ASSESSMENT OF THE BENEFITS AND TRADEOFFS OF OUR SYSTEM. THE EXPECTED OUTCOMES INCLUDE DETAILED ENGINEERING DESIGN AND ANALYSIS BLUEPRINT OF THE SYSTEM; PUERTO RICO'S FEEDSTOCK INVENTORY DATABASE BEFORE AND AFTER NATURAL DISASTERS IN VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES; ECONOMIC, ENVIRONMENTAL, AND SOCIAL ANALYSES OF OUR SYSTEMS AND; A ROADMAP FOR IMPLEMENTING ANALOGOUS PROGRAMS IN RURAL ISOLATED AND ISLAND COMMUNITIES WHICH WE BELIEVE WILL GREATLY BENEFIT THEM TO OVERCOME NATURAL DISASTERS.
