The APGA Research Foundation (RF) invites you to contribute in 2025 and impact natural gas industry research, development, and commercialization efforts. RF partners with GTI Energy (operations, end-use, and emerging technology) and the Energy Solutions Center with contributors getting the opportunity to vote on specific projects throughout the year.
A few project categories include:
- Employee training and education
- Damage prevention tools
- Methane mitigation tools
- Indoor air quality studies
- Improved appliance efficiency (residential and commercial)
- Gas heat pump technology (water and air heating)
- Combined heat and power units
- Carbon capture
- Dual fuel heating systems
The 2025 APGA member dues invoice was recently sent out and includes an RF contribution section that you can fill in, or a link to the 2025 pledge form can be found here. The recommended contribution amount for the RF is $.01/dekatherm annual natural gas throughput or about $1/customer/year, but the RF will gladly accept whatever amount your system decides to provide.
