Research Development and Demonstration (RD&D)

Our Research Development and Demonstration (RD&D) Program is working to reduce the environmental impact for all of us.
Innovation and the rapid development of new technologies are vital to our success. Our Research, Development, & Demonstration (RD&D) Program plays a key role in this effort by developing and demonstrating transformational products and technologies that promote decarbonization across the natural gas value chain and a diversified portfolio of clean energy sources, distributed networks, tools, and applications.

Our Current Webinar
Lantec's MicroNOx Combustion Technology Can Reduce NOx Emissions
Join SoCalGas and Lantec Products for a webinar on Lantec's MicroNOx combustion technology, which significantly reduces NOx emissions. Lantec's technology is versatile and suitable for both domestic appliances and large industrial burners. In collaboration with SoCalGas and others, Lantec adapted this technology for residential use, aiming to reduce NOx emissions below 7 ng/J. The project exceeded expectations, achieving emissions of 1.82 ng/J and 0.96 ng/J for the MicroNOx retrofit furnaces. Learn how MicroNOx technology can contribute to cleaner air and a healthier environment.
