Natural Gas Industry Collaboration
Emerging Technology Program
> Gas Technology Institute led, utility supported, North American
collaborative targeting residential, commercial, and industrial solutions
> ETP’s principle goal is to accelerate the market acceptance of emerging
gas technologies
2013 Members Listed Above 4
What’s Driving ETP?
> Growing and maturing gas programs across U.S.
> Bigger budgets, bigger savings goals
> Low gas prices making efficiency less desirable and cost-effective (e.g. TRC)

Expanding Supplies & Low
Prices Driving Gas Demand
> Consumer demand growing
─ 2012: All-time high
─ Continued upward trend
> Over 25 Tcf market by 2020,
above 27 Tcf by 2030
 Growth drivers:
> Power generation and CHP
> Rebounding Industrial Sector
> Transportation (high growth rates)
 Offsetting reliance on coal and oil
66
Industrial Natural Gas Demand
> Industrial natural gas use rebounding
─ Highest level since 2002
─ Positive economic indicator
─ Growth to continue with low gas prices, “onshoring”
trends, major investments (nearly $100 billion)

Commercial and Industrial CHP
Market Trends
> C&I CHP markets “status quo” over past decade –despite large
increases in gas use for power generation (missed opportunity)
> Industrial growth could help promote new CHP investments and
energy efficiency improvements
> Key issue: resolving long-standing market barriers
