The Statewide Gas Emerging Technologies Program (GET), is a collaboration between California’s investor owned utilities to advance promising energy-efficient technologies. The program aims to identify and evaluate currently commercially available technologies, and further market readiness of promising concepts that may be ready in three to five years. These proposals will be evaluated as potential measures for future energy-efficient programs.
Working with cross functional stakeholders, the GET program will source and screen technologies, gather necessary technical and savings potential data, identify key market barriers to adoption, and develop strategies to overcome these barriers.

Concurrent with the adoption of new technologies, is the need to understand market barriers, including those that are the result of the new technology, as well as any that already exist for current similar technologies.

GET Webinar: GAHP Performance Mapping
When: Tuesday, March 18, 2025 1:00 - 2:00 P.M. PDT
Join the California Statewide Gas Emerging Technologies Program team for our webinar, GAHP Performance Mapping. Water heating is one of the largest end-uses of natural gas in California, with a significant potential for increased gas savings and decarbonization using fuel-fired heat pump technology. Manufacturers have developed Gas Absorption Heat Pump (GAHP) systems that have entered the market following small-scale and pilot testing, but there is limited part load and transient system performance data that is publicly available for these units.
The main purpose of this GAHP laboratory testing was to develop steady-state and dynamic performance curves that can be used with the newly developed air-cooled EnergyPlus GAHP model.
Join us to discuss the research outcome and findings such as:
• Gas consumption reduction and low electrical grid demand
• Condensing technologies
• Retrofit capability to existing underserved multifamily facilities
