AI Summary
This bill, the Climate Smart Ports Act, would direct the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish a grant program to help eligible entities, such as port authorities and air pollution control districts, purchase and install zero-emissions port equipment and technology. The bill sets requirements for the use of grants, including prohibitions on fully automated cargo handling equipment, cost-sharing, and labor standards. The bill also requires outreach to potential grant recipients, reporting on the impacts of the grants, and prioritization of grants that would reduce emissions and health disparities. Additionally, the bill authorizes $1 billion per year through 2031 for the grant program, with at least 25% of the funds to be used for ports in non-attainment areas. The bill also authorizes $50 million per year from 2022 to 2026 for the Department of Energy to provide grants, rebates, or loans to eligible entities for projects that reduce emissions at ports.
