The grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation will be used to add cargo transport capacity and improve operational efficiencies at the port\u2019s Outer Harbor.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis grant is of vital importance to help us modernize and transform the Port of Oakland\u2019s operations to zero-emissions. It is a down-payment on the next generation of goods movement technology at the Port of Oakland.\u201d<\/p>\n
Infrastructure investment<\/strong><\/p>\n The grant is part of a US$94 million federal investment in California ports and is part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, investing US$40 billion in infrastructure projects over the next five years.<\/p>\n Oakland\u2019s grant will deliver projects that address electrification, emissions reductions and port congestion. It allows the Port of Oakland to make investments to accommodate near-term supply chain uncertainties, surges in imports, exports, and refrigerated cargo and install green energy infrastructure.<\/p>\n The transformation from fossil fuels to clean energy is at the heart of the Port of Oakland\u2019s efforts to improve seaport capacity with zero-emissions operations. A cornerstone of the plan is to use clean electricity to power battery electric mobile equipment and provide green power to refrigerated containers.<\/p>\n Other projects will include new high-mast LED lighting and densify container storage and staging capability for great efficiency.<\/p>\n The Port of Oakland\u2019s Outer Harbor is an approximately 120-acre container shipping wharf and marine terminal that became inactive due in part to aging infrastructure and outdated equipment.<\/p>\n This grant will provide the initial investment to reactivate the terminal capacity by installing green energy infrastructure and using zero-emissions technology.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The US The Port of Oakland has been awarded a US$36.6 million federal grant to support green infrastructure development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":2814,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[750,749,239,206,205],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-2813","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-americas-greenport","tag-funsing","tag-green-infrastructure","tag-port-development","tag-port-of-oakland","tag-usa"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2813","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2813"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2813\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2815,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2813\/revisions\/2815"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2814"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2813"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2813"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2813"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=2813"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
