Increased Funding for Cleaner Air from Ports and Vessels
This bill boosts funding for a program that supports technologies reducing air pollution from ports and vessels. This means potentially cleaner air near port areas, benefiting public health and the environment. The program's findings will also guide US policy on domestic and international regulations.
Key points
Allocates an additional $6 million for the maritime environmental program, with half specifically for technologies reducing port and vessel air emissions.
Research and activities from the program will inform US policy decisions on domestic regulations and international maritime matters.
The bill clearly defines 'air emissions' to include air pollutants and greenhouse gases.
