The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded a $120,196,000 Project Grant under the Clean Ports Program (CFDA 66.051) to the Port of Corpus Christi Authority in Texas. The purpose of the grant is to improve air quality and reduce pollution in the port and surrounding disadvantaged communities through the deployment of zero-emission equipment and infrastructure across the port's waterborne, roadway, and rail freight operations. The grant will fund the purchase of 3 zero-emission tugboats, 2 zero-emission locomotives, 8 zero-emission forklifts, 1 zero-emission sweeper, and 8 charging stations. It will also support a shore power retrofit, safety equipment, workforce training, and community engagement activities. The Port of Corpus Christi Authority is committed to reducing emissions of criteria air pollutants and greenhouse gases to benefit the local communities, with the grant enabling the port's transition to fully zero-emission operations.
