Port of Oakland, Japanese officials and CalSTA discuss green initiatives

Japanese officials and representatives from the California State Transportation Agency (CalSTA) met with the Port of Oakland representatives to discuss green initiatives that will help the port reach zero emissions.

More specifically, the meeting was a follow-up to a clean energy trade mission to Japan in March where California policymakers, decision-makers and business executives met to exchange ideas about tackling climate change, growing green energy and creating new investment and trade opportunities.

Port of Oakland officials shared information on the electrification of the Oakland Seaport, the turning basins widening project and the Seaport Gateway project, all aiming to increase efficiency and reduce congestion while reducing emissions.

Additionally, the Californian container port representatives talked about grant funding applications to help finance green initiatives that support cutting diesel emissions and greenhouse gases from the port operations.
