Applied gas energy research • benefiting end users • accelerated by utilities • with many partners
Why We Do It Our Goals
Save consumers money
Save energy and reduce GHG emissions
Enable safe, reliable, and resilient operation of end user’s equipment and energy delivery systems
Achieve superior environmental performance
Integrate with renewable energy sources
Our goals and impacts directly benefit customers, communities, society, and the environment. New technologies offer low-emission solutions, enhance the safety, reliability and resilience of on-site equipment and energy delivery systems (e.g. microgrids), and provide affordable, efficient equipment and systems that significantly reduce capital and operating costs.
By collaborating with governmental agencies, national laboratories, universities, entrepreneurs, manufacturers, and researchers, we are expanding and accelerating access to innovative technologies for customers and utility-sponsored Energy Efficiency, Emerging Technology and Market Transformation programs. By helping customers improve efficiency, we are also reducing downstream Scope 3 GHG emissions.
However, developing and demonstrating new technologies presents significant challenges, as highlighted below for four customer groups. As a unique utility-directed, not-for-profit collaborative, UTD tackles these challenges to drive market transformation and benefit customers.
