GTI celebrates 75 years of innovative energy solutions

Gas Technology Institute (GTI) celebrates an important milestone—its 75th anniversary. As a leading research, development and training organization addressing global energy and environmental challenges, GTI has spent the last seven decades developing high-impact technologies and providing technical insight to unlock the potential of natural gas and other energy resources, making them economically and environmentally sustainable while reducing energy costs for consumers.

The organization has achieved many successes over its prolific history, focusing on initiatives aligned with important national priorities. GTI has provided innovative solutions to critical challenges along the entire gas value chain, and improved the methodologies of producing, transporting and using energy to benefit the general public.

R&D projects through the decades have expanded the supply and reduced the environmental footprint of unconventional gas production. Cleaner ways to use abundant coal resources have been generated and brought to market through GTI-patented processes. Efforts to convert wood into renewable “drop-in” gasoline in GTI’s integrated biorefinery have resulted in a sustainable biofuel with 74% lower greenhouse gas (GNG) emissions than petroleum-based fuel.

GTI has a reputation for developing gas distribution tools and technologies that reduce energy delivery costs. Experts have created a wealth of solutions to enhance the safety and integrity of vast pipeline infrastructure and target critical global methane emissions issues.

Promoting the clean and efficient use of energy resources across all end use markets—residential/commercial, industrial, power generation and alternative compressed natural gas and hydrogen transportation—and contributing to the progress of US green building practices are among its important contributions. GTI is developing a portfolio of affordable equipment and appliances with reduced energy consumption and emissions, which will contribute to improving air quality for decades to come.
