Unique conversations
Dave Cygan is Industrial R&D Manager at Gas Technology Institute.
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. PUF's Executive Editor Steve Mitnick and Editor-In-Chief Lori Burkhart were fortunate to pass inside the gates of GTI Energy to view the future of energy. We engaged with scientists and engineers to better understand several of their projects.
PUF's Steve Mitnick: Talk about what we are going to see here today.
Dave Cygan: We're about to go to the Industrial Lab. This contains bigger equipment, hence the industrial area. This laboratory is dynamic in the sense that if you were to come here six months from now, the landscape is going to look different because we have a small fenced small-scale area, and then we have large stationary pieces of equipment that stay no matter what.
