On September 11, APGA’s Executive Vice President, Dave Schryver, served as the Keynote Speaker at the Mid-Continent LDC Gas Forum held in Chicago. The LDC Gas Forum is held regionally to bring people together from the natural gas industry to discuss vital regional and national issues affecting all aspects of the natural gas marketplace. The event is held annually and is very well attended by APGA members and other representatives from the natural gas industry.

In his presentation, Dave provided an overview of the 116th Congress and discussed the challenges the direct use of natural gas is facing at the federal, state and local level. Dave also provided an overview of APGA’s efforts within the Department of Energy to increase transparency in the appliance efficiency rulemaking process. He also discussed the efforts of APGA and the Direct Use Task Group, which is composed of APGA members as well as representative from investor-owned gas systems, to respond to the attacks on the direct use of natural gas at the federal and state level.
