Abstract: The Gas Research Institute (GRI) is the U.S. gas industrys research management organization. It is an engineering and scientific research organization, which sponsors a comprehensive research and development (R&D) program in the supply, transmission and distribution, storage, and end use of gaseous fuels. The program, which is designed to benefit the natural gas industry and gas consumers nationwide, consists of over 400 active research projects. Support for this R&D program comes through a funding unit authorized annually by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). The funding unit is applied to the gas sold by GRIs 31 interstate pipeline company members to gas distribution utilities and others. GRi strives to conduct a cooperative R&D program by pooling the expertise, knowledge, and resources of those who stand to benefit from its program. These include the gas industry, end users of gaseous fuel, R&D contractors, and equipment manufacturers. By doing this GRI is better able to leverage its R&D resources and develop a program that more accurately identifies the needs of the gas industry and the gas consumer, and focus on projects that will satisfy those needs. The general thrust of the GRIs R&D subprogram in Gas Operations is to provide safe, reliable gas service at the lowest possible cost and with minimum adverse environmental impact, for the benefit of both the gas industry and the general public. Technologies that address this objective are selected on the basis of their abiUty to minimize costs associated with the safe, reliable, and long-term operation of the gas transport and storage system and their ability to increase service options for the gas consumer.
