Associated Petroleum Industries Of PA Adds Jonathan Lutz As Associate Director

Associated Petroleum Industries of PA Executive Director Stephanie Catarino Wissman Monday announced Jonathan Lutz as the new Associate Director for API’s division in Pennsylvania.
“Lutz’ experience supporting the Commonwealth's conservation efforts, environmental stewardship, and energy growth is critical for Pennsylvania at a key moment for local and state energy policy discussions,” said Wissman. “API-PA will continue to promote the benefits from greater use of natural gas in power generation, manufacturing, commercial and residential markets, as well as continued environmental protection, sound engineering, and safe operating practices. These successes that have positioned the commonwealth as a leading force in America’s energy renaissance have also provided an economic lifeline adding to Pennsylvania’s economy and access to reliable energy sources.”
Lutz previously served as Executive Director for the House Environmental Resources and Energy Committee of the Pennsylvania where he participated in all aspects of the Department of Environmental Protection and Environmental Quality Board’s regulatory process.
He also worked as a research analyst for the Committee, where he analyzed legislation and prepared reports for caucus review. He received his bachelor’s degree at Lebanon Valley College and earned his Master’s degree in Political Science at East Stroudsburg University.
“The Commonwealth is gifted with hard workers, valuable natural resources and forward-thinking state leaders who see the importance of energy development for job growth and a stronger economy,” said Lutz. “For the better part of a decade, this combination has allowed the state of Pennsylvania to become a natural gas production powerhouse, providing 85 percent of U.S. shale gas production growth since 2012. Another key step for fulfilling the promise of Pennsylvania’s energy economy is additional pipeline infrastructure – sharing more clean-burning natural gas and continuing to substantially cut greenhouse gas emissions for our planet while providing the reliable and affordable power America needs.”
