GTI Energy embraces a vision for integrated, low-carbon, low-cost energy systems that leverage gases, liquids, infrastructure, and efficiency to meet the urgent challenges presented by climate change and global energy access. To fully comprehend these words, there is nothing like a visit to its eighteen acres of facilities close to Chicago, to take in the depth and breadth of what goes on at these specialized labs with equipment for design, testing, and analysis of advanced energy technologies.

“We can determine which of these microbes might be in the sample and if that could potentially be a part of the root cause of a failure. GTI Energy is one of the labs that the energy industry uses for that, and it’s the only lab that’s accredited.”

“The next frontier for us is hydrogen natural gas blending systems. We’re going to be working with partners in Europe where there are burners designed for hydrogen that we can work with and help bring to this market where appropriate.”

“We are an applied research and technology development non-profit organization. We have a long list of customers who we call when an opportunity presents itself. Now, about 50% percent of our work is done in the lab, and the other 50% is at company sites.”
