Renewable Natural Gas - Transforming the Future of Sustainable Energy & Agriculture

Dominion Energy has long recognized the need and the developments in Renewable Natural Gas (RNG). Renewable Natural Gas is the cleanest energy source because it removes more greenhouse gases from the atmosphere than it releases when consumers use the gas. In 10 years, Dominion Energy's commitments will remove greenhouse gases equivalent to taking 1.2  million cars off the road. Join this webinar to hear from Ted Peterson who developed Dominion Energy's Green Therm program and then we will hear from Andrew Hegewald who is the RNG business development manager for Dominion Energy and will discuss developments in RNG along with new developments in hydrogen and natural gas.
