PhilaPort receives EPA grant to cut climate warming emissions, air pollution
An additional $2 million will help the port examine its current emissions levels, identify areas to improve energy efficiency and inform the community about the transition to zero-emission operations.
PhilaPort, which manages facilities along the Delaware River used for international trade, said the funding will support the goals outlined in its 15-year plan to expand the port, which aims to create 9,000 new jobs and generate $170 million in tax revenue by 2040.
The “PhilaPort Strategic Plan: Destination 2040” aims to reduce the port’s carbon footprint by replacing diesel equipment with electric alternatives, and partnering with the proposed Mid-Atlantic Clean Hydrogen Hub, or MACH2, for port equipment and fuel cells.
“We are extremely pleased to be selected by the EPA as a partner in this historic investment in port infrastructure and zero-emission port equipment,” said Jeff Theobald, executive director & CEO of PhilaPort, in a statement.
“This funding will not only help us modernize our equipment, but also reinforce our dedication to creating a greener, more sustainable port. We are committed to reducing our carbon footprint and contributing to the health and well-being of our community.”
