What does Sustainability mean? The ability to meet today s global economic, environmental and social needs without compromising the opportunity for future generations to meet theirs. - Brundtland Commission, 1987
Green Port Building Blocks Environmental responsibility and economic growth are not always mutually exclusive Management of environment has: Enabled Port growth by allowing expansion projects to move forward Allowed cargo owners to market green logistics Helped to push science of environmental source controls further along Addressing localized community impacts important part of being environmentally responsible (indirect impacts hard to measure, but cannot be ignored)
Green Port Building Blocks For Air Quality, Green Port Policy has lead to: Significant reduction of Criteria Pollutant Emissions (NOx, SOx, PM, CO, VOCs) and Health Risk Fair share contribution to US EPA regional air quality attainment goals Carbon footprint reduction co-benefits to meet Climate Change targets set by local, state and federal government Clean Air Action Plan (CAAP) is primary comprehensive air quality control program Emissions Inventory is a key CAAP planning tool
POLA Annual Emissions Inventories Annual Activity-based 2001, 2005 2015 (2016 nearly complete) Source categories Ships, harbor craft, cargo handling equipment, trucks, locomotives Pollutants PM PM 10 PM 2.5 DPM NO x SO x HC CO Greenhouse gases CO 2 CH 4 N 2 O CO 2 e Coordinated w/carb, SCAQMD, & EPA
Role of Emission Inventories will Evolve Broader participation necessary New carbon footprint focus Energy consumption & supply Efficiency tracking Short lived climate pollutants Tropospheric ozone Black carbon Methane HFCs
Clean Air Action Plan First Comprehensive Port-Based Plan Set consistent source-specific standards (Ships, Trucks, CHE, Trains, Harbor Craft) Set reduction Health Risk targets from Port Operations Set reduction targets fair share to reducing regional mass emissions Enable Port development & optimization Updated - 2010 Health Risk Reduction Standard 85% by 2020 (compared to 2005 baseline) Emission Reductions Standard NOx 22% by 2014 and 59% by 2023 SOx 93% by 2014 (and 2023) DPM 72% by 2014 and 77% by 2023
Clean Air Action Plan: The Future Development of 2017 CAAP Update underway Mobile/Stationary source strategies Zero emissions/near-zero emissions Greenhouse gases Energy Supply chain efficiencies
CAAP: HEAVY-DUTY TRUCKS Banned older trucks 95% pollution reduction Upgrade substantially completed 2 years early
Clean Truck Program New Proposals under consideration Beginning in 2018, require new trucks entering Drayage Truck Registry to meet MY2014 standards or newer SMOG check pilot program with State Air Resources Board Green Truck Priority Access Program Beginning 2023, require new trucks entering Drayage Truck Registry to meet Ultra Low NOx standards or better Differentiated Rate Structure for trucks that are not low-nox (transition year target?) Differentiated Rate Structure for trucks that are not zeroemissions (2035) Technology feasibility assessment every 3 to 5 years
Zero Emission White Paper Living Document Agencies and Industry support and use Recommendation to provide Near- Zero and Zero Emission equipment on an annual basis is being satisfied through State funding opportunities Goal to have 200 NZE & ZE equipment in use by 2020.
OCEAN-GOING VESSELS Shore Power Vessel Speed Reduction Cleaner Fuels
Shore Power Basics Emissions Reduced All auxiliary engine pollutants reduced to zero (locally) at ship while plugged in Does not control auxiliary boiler emissions Total GHG reduction depends on grid makeup Projected Penetration CARB shorepower rule 2020 80% of regulated fleets (container, reefer, & cruise)
Shore Power Alternatives? Barge-Based Systems are currently available AMECS - ACTI METS-1 CAEM On-dock Systems still being tested Emissions Reduced At-Berth (one to two engines) Projected Penetration Currently two systems operating Third company coming (STAX)
CAAP: CARGO-HANDLING EQUIPMENT Replacements ahead of regulation Set Standards in Lease Agreements
Cargo Handling Equipment: New Proposals under consideration Transition to up to 100% Zero Emissions by 2030 Energy Planning and Carbon Footprint Reduction Green Terminal Recognition Programs Supply Chain Efficiency
