09JAN2019 - NEWS - Port of Baltimore gets funding from the US Environmental Protection Agency to reduce emissions at the port

The Port of Baltimore has been recently awarded USD 2.4 million from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to reduce emissions at the port and in surrounding areas. The port will use the funding, which is coming from a Diesel Emission Reduction Act, to repower marine engines and upgrade diesel dray trucks and equipment for moving cargo. These replacements and repowers will result in the lifetime emission reduction of approximately 37 tons of particulate matter, 398 tons of nitrogen oxides, 165 tons of carbon monoxide, and 724 tons of carbon dioxide. It will also save more than 64,000 tons of fuel.
