Summary: This study by Energy Futures, Inc., examines the actions underway to reduce air pollution at the 10 largest container ports in the U.S. The goal is to identify the specific environmental problems at each port, the development status of pollution control strategies, and the opportunities for alternative fuels and advanced technologies to play a critical role in reducing air pollution
The report urges decision makers to:
- Promote the use of alternative fuels and advanced technologies to reduce air pollution and greenhouse gases
- Develop and implement a national port and clean-up strategy at the federal government level
- Create a national funding mechanism to finance comprehensive port clean-up
- Advocate global environmental standards in the international arena, and
- Create a global clearinghouse of information about port clean-up efforts.
