The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has awarded approximately $2.9 billion in Clean Ports Program grants to six states to facilitate the transition towards zero-emission transportation at ports in California, Hawaii, Michigan, Illinois, Alaska, and South Carolina. This funding aims to support the purchase of over 1,500 units of zero-emission cargo-handling equipment, 1,000 drayage trucks, 10 locomotives, and 20 vessels, along with infrastructure like shore power systems and solar power generation. The program includes the Zero-Emission Technology Deployment (ZE Tech) Competition and the Climate and Air Quality Planning Competition, focusing on equipment, infrastructure, and emissions reduction strategies. Notably, the Port of Oakland is set to receive $322 million as the biggest federal investment in the region to acquire 663 zero-emission equipment pieces, including hydrogen and electric cargo-handling gear, emphasizing emissions reduction and job creation. Hawaii, Illinois, South Carolina, and Alaska are also designated for grants to enhance their ports with hydrogen-powered equipment, charging infrastructure, and workforce training. Michigan's Detroit/Wayne County Port Authority has ambitious plans to transition to hydrogen and green methanol, aiming to achieve carbon neutrality by 2040 while fostering a zero-emission workforce. The grants signal a significant step towards a sustainable and environmentally conscious future in the transportation industry, showcasing the commitment to reducing emissions and investing in clean energy infrastructure.
