California ports usher in a clean transition! Received more than US $1 billion in financial support from the government

2024-11-08

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently announced that seven major ports in California will receive more than $1 billion in funding to build zero-emission infrastructure and implement air quality improvement plans. The funding represents one-third of the national total grant and signals a rapid transition to zero-emissions for California ports.

Allocation of funds

The following is the specific fund allocation and project brief introduction of each port:

Project Introduction

Port name	Amount of funding (millions of US dollars)
Port of Los Angeles	411.69	The project aims to accelerate the port's transition to zero-emission operations by reducing air pollution in and around the port, deploying zero-emission cargo handling equipment, and enhancing electric vehicle charging infrastructure. The Port of Los Angeles is the largest recipient of clean port funding in the United States.
Port of Auckland	322.17	The project will support the goal of reducing emissions and completely decarbonising, by shifting to zero-emission alternatives, including short-distance transport trucks and cargo handling equipment.
Port of Stockton	110.47	The project will make the Port of Stockton the first small port to have zero-emission terminal operations and add to Northern California's zero-emission workforce.
Port of San Diego	58.6	The project will support the electrification of San Diego's maritime cargo handling facilities and freight traffic, transforming the maritime cargo terminal and cargo transportation network in San Diego Bay by implementing the final electrification element.
San Francisco Port	55.39	The investment will shift ferry operations on the San Francisco waterfront to zero emissions, reduce 455,000 metric tons of CO2 greenhouse gas emissions, and improve air quality in the Port of San Francisco and the entire Bay Area.
Port Huenme	42.29	The Port Huenme Emission Reduction Health Support (PHRESH) project consists of two components: PHRESH START (Sustainable, Thoughtful and Resilient Transformation), which involves planning activities; PHRESH AIR (Accelerated Implementation and Results), which involves the deployment of approximately 35 zero-emission terminal devices and a short-haul transport truck incentive program.
Redwood City Port	1.97	The project, in partnership with a private entity, includes climate and air quality planning for hydrogen-based fuels and infrastructure.
