Dominion Energy Experiments with Adding Hydrogen to NatGas

Dominion Energy is a huge company. Once upon a time, Dominion owned major pipeline assets throughout the Marcellus/Utica region. But in July of 2020 Dominion decided to sell their pipeline assets (and part of the Cove Point LNG export facility) to Warren Buffett for $9.7 billion (see Dominion Cancels Atlantic Coast Pipe, Sells Pipe Biz for $9.7B). These days Dominion focuses on their utility business--serving more than 7 million customers in 16 states (including parts of PA, OH, and WV) with electric and gas. Dominion is going all-in on becoming "carbon neutral" and "net zero greenhouse gas emissions"--whatever that means. The company has begun to experiment with mixing in small amounts of hydrogen (H2) with natural gas with an eye toward increasing the mix and eventually using all hydrogen instead of natural gas.
