Program objective

Section 60102 of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (or IRA) amended the Clean Air Act by inserting section 133 (42 U.S.C. 7433) to authorize EPA’s Clean Ports Program (or Grants to Reduce Air Pollution at Ports) to award grants to purchase or install zero-emission port equipment and supporting infrastructure, serving one or more ports, and for climate action planning activities. IRA appropriates $3 billion for the program, $750 million of which must be spent on projects taking places at ports located in air quality areas designated pursuant to section 107 as nonattainment for an air pollutant. EPA’s objectives for the Clean Ports Program are to: (1) reduce air pollution in near-port communities, especially those with environmental justice concerns; (2) build a foundation for the port sector to transition over time to fully zero-emissions operations; and (3) help ensure that meaningful community engagement and emissions reduction planning are port industry standard practices.
