SUMMARY:Webinar: How Clean Shipping Policies Can Improve Air Quality & Save Lives
DESCRIPTION:An overview of opportunities to accelerate a zero-emission maritime future and tools to quantify air quality and health benefits of port electrification\nCalifornia’s Air Resources Board (CARB) recently began implementation of two Ocean Going Vessels and Harbor Craft regulations. The 2020 At Berth Regulation requires certain Ocean Going Vessel types\, including container vessels\, reefer and cruise ships\, to plug into shore power while at berth. The 2022 amendments to CARB’s Commercial Harbor Craft Rule requires certain types of harbor craft to use cleaner upgrades and newer technology\, and for short-run ferries to achieve zero emissions by 2026. CARB reported that the harbor craft amendments alone will yield more than $5 billion in health benefits. \n \nIn February 2023\, the International Council on Clean Transportation released a study highlighting the health and air quality benefits of port electrification in other parts of the country\, including Seattle and New York City. The ICCT study shows that port electrification\, including shore power and electric drayage trucks\, can reduce air pollution\, save lives\, and offer millions in public health benefits each year. The tools ICCT used to estimate air pollution reductions and health benefits are free to use\, meaning ports or other interested stakeholders can perform their own analyses. \nPolicies like CARB’s shore power and harbor craft regulation\, coupled with port-side electrification\, helps to reduce ship and port pollution — improving air quality and public health\, saving lives and advancing industry decarbonization goals. States and port authorities can accelerate a clean shipping future through policy action and port side infrastructure development\, supported by unprecedented levels of federal funding through MARAD and the IRA. \nJoin us to learn more on the policies\, strategies and funding opportunities to decarbonize ships and ports\, as well as the public health and air quality benefits of port electrification and the tools that can be used to quantify these benefits. \n \nWHEN: Tuesday April 18th // 12:00-1:30pm PST \nHOSTS: The International Council on Clean Transportation\, Friends of the Earth and Pacific Environment \nREGISTER: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_sTlb-GHCRBaAZ41PikqMcg  \nSPEAKERS:\n \n\nSarah Meginness Froman\, EPA Ports Initiative Team Lead\, Environmental Protection Agency\nBryan Comer\, Marine Program Lead\, The International Council on Clean Transportation\nTerrance L.
