The IHS sports teams take a total of about 160 trips a year for games alone..

We take trips ranging from 1.1 miles to 118 miles.

The total distance traveled totals 5592

miles! This is the equivalent of taking roundtrip from our school to the White

House, in Washington DC or Disney World

in Orlando, Florida.

Our vans and buses average only 11 mpg

This means that the transportation of our sports teams for games is 4.46 metric tons of CO2 annually, according to www.carboncounter.org

61006680000000000000000000 molecules of CO₂

Hydrogen Fuel Cell Buses are the latest alternative to fossil fuel creating vehicles

Demonstration and validation programs have been put in place in Massachusetts, New York, California, Washington D.C., Georgia, Delaware, as well as Europe, Asia, Canada, and Australia.

In 2006 the California Fuel Cell Partnership recieved a $12 million federal grant to fund reserch and commercializing hydrogen fuel cell vehicles

Muni and AC Transit currently use hydrogen fuel cell buses on three of their routes and plan to increase the buses on the road in the future

There are 26 hydrogen fuelling stations in CA and 9 in planning

Currently, Hydrogen fuel cell buses are not available for retail. There do exist and are in use in public transit around the world.

The goal of organizations like the California Fuel Cell Partnership is to release buses for purchase by the year 2012

1 kg of hydrogen is equvalent to the energy content of a gallon of gasoline

FCVs carry 4-6 kg of hydrogen, averaging 280-300 miles per tank of fuel. FCVs in production and development for commercial use will average 300-500 miles per tank.

Currently a hydrogen fuel cell bus costs about twice as much as a conventional diesel bus.

However the second generation of fuel cell buses (in development and production) will cost half the price of the first generation.

Today a kg of hydrogen costs between $10 and $20. To fill the fuel tank can cost up to $1200.

The CaFCP predicts that hydrogen fuel cell passenger vehicles as well as buses will be competitive with today’s vehicles.

Infact, buses will be available sooner than passenger vehicles because they are already replacing diesel buses in airports, transit agencies, and university campuses.
