Port of Long Beach meets its emission goals a year ahead of schedule

Air pollution emissions dropped significantly in 2022 at the Port of Long Beach in all categories and the Port has met all the goals of the San Pedro Bay Ports Clean Air Action Plan a year ahead of schedule.

The Port’s annual emissions inventory report found that compared to 2005, diesel particulates are down 91%, nitrogen oxides have decreased 63%, and sulfur oxides have decreased 97%, all while cargo container volume increased 36%. Progress for the annual inventory is always compared against 2005, the year before the original San Pedro Bay Ports Clean Air Action Plan (CAAP) was adopted.

Several salient factors impacted activity, efficiency, operations and thus emissions in the 2022 study year. By mid-year, congestion related to the COVID-19 pandemic had subsided. Programs put into place to ease congestion, such as vessel queuing, reduced the number of ships waiting at anchor.

ESPO: Ports are critical in delivering the Clean Industrial Deal

Sea Cargo Charter Annual Report 2025: Progress, yet challenges remain

The Port’s longstanding initiatives to make landside operations greener also continued to have an effect, with 19% of cargo-handling equipment at terminals now zero-emissions, as did the Port’s Clean Truck Program and the ongoing transition to cleaner trucks to move cargo.

This emissions inventory is a feather in the Port’s cap, and we’re celebrating, but our sights are on the ultimate goals we’ve set, including zero-emissions cargo handling by 2030 and zero-emissions trucking by 2035.

… said Long Beach Harbor Commission President, Bobby Olvera Jr.

The Port of Long Beach is driving to become the nation’s first zero-emissions port for drayage and cargo handling. Some notable strides toward these goals over the last year include:

  • Recently, the Port recently announced a California State Transportation Agency grant of $225 million for the Port’s critical investments in equipment and infrastructure for zero-emissions goals.
  • In total, the Port has successfully secured approximately $331 million in grant funding for zero- and near-zero emissions projects.
  • The Port has also established the Zero Emissions, Energy Resilient Operations Program – known as ZEERO – to invest in projects aimed at reducing the impacts of operations and improving air quality. ZEERO includes a commitment to accelerate deployment of the lowest carbon emission alternatives for ocean-going vessels.

The Port of Long Beach’s impressive record of environmental achievement is widely known, but we couldn’t accomplish all that we have without the close cooperation of our industry partners, labor and each part of the supply chain who does business with us.

… said Port of Long Beach CEO, Mario Cordero

This year’s inventory also represents significant improvement over the 2021 study, when the COVID-19 pandemic and global supply chain congestion resulted in higher emissions in San Pedro Bay.

Compared to that year, in 2022 diesel particulate matter was down 28%, nitrogen oxides 28% and sulfur oxides 7%, even though container traffic dipped only 3%. Greenhouse gas emissions were down 1% in 2022 compared to the 2005 baseline, although the category was down 16% compared to the 2021 survey.
