I was hoping for a comprehensive fact sheet like the one here

Believe it or not Google can be crap to do research on.

Source? The only ones I know about are the redox flow batteries which are meant to supplement grid power during peak usage (night time).

They’re using redox flow batteries. The tech is nowhere the energy density of lithium but it’s meant to supplement the traditional power grid at night time. It’s got similar characteristics of a pumped hydro solution except less efficient.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding your comment so I’ll try best to explain it. I’m not an expert.
Hydrogen is not being added to natural gas.
Natural gas is broken down using a thermal process and you get hydrogen fuel. The process is called Methane Pyrolysis.
Then you can use the stored energy in hydrogen fuel like a liquid battery. For example Hydrogen fuel cars have a platinum plate that pulls the electrons from the liquid and use that to generate an electric current to power the electric motor.
