Bill Summary
To direct the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to establish a program to award grants to eligible entities to purchase, and as applicable install, zero emissions port equipment and technology, and for other purposes. This bill requires the Environmental Protection Agency to establish a grant program for purchasing or installing equipment and technology that (1) is used at a port and produces zero exhaust emissions of certain pollutants and greenhouse gases, or (2) captures 100% of the exhaust emissions produced by an ocean-going vessel at berth.
AI Summary
This bill, the Climate Smart Ports Act, directs the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish a grant program to help eligible entities (such as port authorities, state/local agencies, and nonprofits) purchase and install zero-emissions port equipment and technology. The grants can cover up to 70% of the costs, or up to 85% if the project employs local labor and uses a project labor agreement. The bill also authorizes $1 billion per year from 2021 to 2030 for the grant program, with at least 25% of the funds reserved for ports in nonattainment areas (areas that do not meet air quality standards). Additionally, the bill amends the Energy Policy Act of 2005 to authorize $50 million per year from 2021 to 2025 for grants, rebates, or loans to eligible entities for projects that reduce emissions at ports.
