The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded a $3,000,000 Project Grant to the Northwest Seaport Alliance under the Clean Ports Program (CFDA 66.051) to conduct emissions inventory and reduction planning activities. The grant will fund the grantee to:
- Develop a baseline emissions inventory and terminal-specific feasibility analysis of zero-emission technologies for the Washington United Terminal and East Blair One Terminal.
- Develop a terminal master plan for transitioning 169 pieces of cargo handling equipment and light-duty vehicles to zero-emissions.
- Identify infrastructure needs to support charging for zero-emission equipment and determine demand for shore power at the East Blair One Terminal.
- Develop an engineering design plan for shore power installation at the Washington United Terminal, including considerations for workforce development, safety, and climate resilience.
The anticipated outcomes include improved understanding of equipment and infrastructure conditions, identification of emissions reduction opportunities, increased support for fleet replacement, and enhanced resiliency and workforce training. No subawards are included in this assistance agreement.
