Biden announces $3 billion in grants to cut carbon emissions at U.S. ports
Summary: The Biden administration is set to announce nearly $3 billion in grants to improve climate-friendly infrastructure at 55 U.S. ports. This funding aims to reduce carbon emissions and support around 40,000 union jobs.
The Port of Baltimore will receive $147 million to help transition to zero-emission operations. Other major ports, including those in New York, New Jersey, and California, will also benefit from the funding, which is part of the Clean Ports Program.
This initiative follows a recent settlement related to a bridge collapse in Baltimore and aims to address air pollution from port activities. The grants are funded by Biden's climate law from 2022, marking a significant investment in clean energy.
