What sort of reduction in carbon dioxide emissions will our school achieve?
As a comparison, the average vehicle in Australia travels 20 000 km annually, which is equivalent to 3.3 tons of carbon dioxide discharge per year. A 2kw grid connected system installed on your school will prevent 3.3 tons of carbon dioxide being generated through traditional black coal power generation – so basically it’s the equivalent of taking a car off the road each year.
Depending of which grant your school is eligible for ($50,000, $80,000 or $100,000) your school will reduce CO2 emissions by between 18.25 and 36.5 tonnes each year. As a comparison, the average vehicle in Australia travels 20 000 km annually, which is equivalent to 3.3 tons of carbon dioxide discharge per year.
