I doubt that, since the fuel-cell busses I know of (and other commercial
fuel cells, for that matter) run on reformed natural gas. As such, they
emit carbon dioxide, small amounts of high temperature combustion
products (nitrogen oxides, etc.), and natural gas trace components
(radon, various sulfur compounds, etc.).

Are there really hydrogen-powered busses (other than some prototype
somewhere)?
