Andrew Hegewald gives a tour of Dominion Energy's regulator station in Delta on Thursday, Oct. 5, 2023. At the station an electrolyzer will use solar energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen, meaning it is a pollution-free source of hydrogen fuel.This story is part of The Salt Lake Tribune’s ongoing commitment to identify solutions to Utah’s biggest challenges through the work of the Innovation Lab.
The company actually started blending in 5% hydrogen for those customers back in April, but it was using “gray” hydrogen, which is made from natural gas and generates greenhouse gases in the process. The electrolyzer will use electricity from renewable sources. Hegewald said the hydrogen will cost about seven to eight times more than the gas it is replacing, but since this is a test those costs will be absorbed by the company. No one’s gas rates are changing.
