But just in case there was any doubt, UCS crunched the numbers to compare the different types of school buses from gasoline and diesel-powered option, to natural gas, electric and yes – even propane. This is great news for our kids, our communities and our climate. Why not 100 percent?

The shift from fossil fuels in the 100-percent RES scenario reduces the amount of toxic power plant air pollution much more than what we called a “no-new-policy,” or business-as-usual, scenario. Emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides from power plants in alliance states drop 88 percent and 77 percent respectively by 2040.

Critically, and as we’ll discuss in greater depth shortly, hydrogen combustion (as opposed to its use in fuel cells) also leads to greater emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx), a toxic group of pollutants regulated under the Clean Air Act. Inefficient end uses for hydrogen can further exacerbate this problem.

Fossil fuel, they argue, will still be needed in the near term as a backstop for the intermittency of solar and wind power and to keep consumer power bills affordable. What, where and how Carbon dioxide can be captured from the exhaust of power plants and other industries either before or after combustion.

In 2021 alone, the plants slated for retirement emitted more than 28,000 tonnes of nitrogen oxides (NO x ), 32,000 tonnes of sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ), and 51 million tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), according to EIA data. GW of new gas capacity is planned to come online in 2023, outpacing not only the 4.8
