Louisiana awarded $3M EPA Clean Ports planning grant; universities to baseline emissions and resilience
Summary
The Office of Multimodal Commerce and university partners will use a $3 million planning grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to inventory port energy use and emissions, advise ports on resilience and cleaner operations, and prepare ports for potential larger implementation funding.
Molly Burgoyne of the Office of Multimodal Commerce told the commission that Louisiana’s Clean Ports planning grant—awarded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency—covers $3 million over three years and will fund a statewide baseline of port energy and emissions, resilience assessments and pilot planning. “The planning grant is structured to set you up to get an implementation grant,” Burgoyne said, explaining the grant’s role and that final award paperwork was signed at EPA though an official award email was still pending at the time of the meeting.
