Fossil fuels, such as coal, oil and natural gas, are non-renewable sources of energy. Dominion's fossil-fueled power stations generate more than 40 percent of the power provided to its customers. Advanced technologies, top-quality training and a dedicated workforce are the keys to being a pacesetter in fossil-fuel generation.
Since coal-fired power stations produce gases and airborne particles known as fly ash, Dominion has a comprehensive approach to protecting the environment. Its power stations use a variety of techniques to reduce harmful emissions, including electrostatic precipitators and systems that reduce nitrogen oxide, such as selective catalytic reduction.
