VICTORIA — The federal government has announced up to $35.5 million in funding for three projects based in British Columbia to invest in commercially available clean technology and infrastructure for ports.
This funding is being provided under the Green Shipping Corridor Program, explains a release, and will:
- increase the use of clean energy and transportation infrastructure at ports and terminals;
- invest in shore power technology to reduce emissions from idling ships; and
- prioritize low-emission and low-noise vessels to minimize environmental impact in port areas.
The Green Shipping Corridor Program is a pillar of Canada’s decarbonization strategy and aims to accelerate the transition to low-carbon and net-zero emission fuels and technologies within the marine sector.
