Accelerating the Market Introduction and Acceptance of New Emerging Technologies

In the Emerging Technology Program (ETP), GTI Energy is partnering with utilities, manufacturers, and government entities to enable the validation and successful commercialization of promising new natural gas technologies—by providing technology assessments, demonstrations and scaled field placements, market and behavioral studies, codes and standards development, and training and education. With 22 North American company participants, the number of initiatives continues to expand, with a strong focus on space and water heater systems and high-efficiency gas heating rooftop packages.

GTI Energy works with Nicor Gas, a natural gas distribution company, to help identify and bring to market new products and processes that could be rolled into the Nicor Gas Energy Efficiency Program. New products or processes introduced to market are then available to Nicor Gas customers for rebates and/ or incentives.
