Clean Ports: Grants for Hydrogen and Ammonia to Improve Air Quality.
This law establishes a federal grant program to introduce clean fuels (hydrogen and ammonia) and modern equipment at seaports. Residents near ports can expect improved air quality due to reduced emissions from trucks, vessels, and cargo handling gear. The program prioritizes supporting low-income communities and creating new jobs in green technology.
Key points
$100 million annually (2024-2028) authorized for grants to ports to purchase hydrogen or ammonia-fueled equipment (e.g., vessels, trucks, cranes).
Priority given to projects that maximize air pollution reduction and benefit disadvantaged communities.
Requires a study on the safety and feasibility of using hydrogen and ammonia as fuels in maritime transport applications.
