  • ZANZEFF Shore to Store Project
    Zero- and Near Zero-Emission Freight Facilities (ZANZEFF) Shore to Store Project In 2006, the Port of Los Angeles in partnership with the Port of Long Beach adopted the Clean Air Action Plan (CAAP), which was updated in 2010 and 2017 (https://cleanairactionplan.org). The CAAP identifies strategies to reduce air pollution from every source including ships, trucks, trains, harbor craft, and cargo handling equipment. Successful technology demonstrations of zero- and near zero-emission technologies may accelerate the availability of clean technologies that are necessary to implement existing strategies outlined in the CAAP or to develop future control measures, alternatives, or mitigation measures.

  • Port Ships Are Massive L.A. Polluters. Will California Force A
    Port ships are becoming L.A.’s biggest polluters. Will California force a cleanup? In December, a barge at the Port of Los Angeles uses a system, known as a bonnet or “sock on a stack,” that’s intended to scrub exhaust. (Allen J. Schaben / Los Angeles Times) Ships visiting Southern California’s bustling ports are poised to become the region’s larg­ est source of smog­causing pollutants in coming years, one reason state regulators want to reduce emissions from thousands more of them. Air quality officials want to expand the number of ships that, while docked, must either shut down their auxiliary engines and plug into shore power or scrub their exhaust by hooking up to machines known as bonnets or “socks on a stack.” But some neighbors of the ports say the California Air Resources Board is not moving fast enough to cut a rising source of pollution. Some also fear that the shipping industry and the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach will use their clout to weaken the proposed restrictions, which the Air Resources Board will decide on in the first half of the year. “We need relief; it’s just that simple,” said Theral Golden of the West Long Beach Assn., a neighborhood group that has long fought for cleaner air in a community that is among the hardest hit by port pollution. Ruben Garcia, president of Advanced Environmental Group, points out the telescoping tube of an emissions capture system that’s attached to a barge at the Port of L.A. (Allen J.
