Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
Description: The purpose of this award is to provide funding under the Inflation Reduction Act to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency.
Specifically, this project will reduce GHG and diesel emissions, improve air quality, and enhance the sustainability of port operations in nine Illinois counties.
This initiative will emphasize environmental justice by prioritizing disadvantaged communities with high ambient diesel pollution levels.
Activities: The activities under this project include: deployment of 44 zero-emission vehicles and equipment, installation of 57 electric vehicle chargers, installation of a hydrogen fueling station, implementation of renewable energy systems, establishment of new baseline emissions inventories and emissions reduction plans for collaborating ports, conducting community engagement activities, and workforce development initiatives to train workers in the operation and maintenance of zero emission technologies.
Subrecipient: Subawards will be issued to Illinois ports to procure contracts and equipment needed to meet the milestones of the project work plan (e.g., purchase electric vehicles, purchase chargers, etc.).
Outcomes: The anticipated deliverables include a fleet of 44 zero-emission vehicles and associated charging equipment, comprehensive emissions inventories and reduction plans for collaborating entities, renewable energy installations, and community engagement reports and workforce training programs.
The expected outcomes include significant reductions in GHG emissions and particulate matter from port operations, enhanced air quality and reduced noise pollution for surrounding communities, increased capacity for clean energy infrastructure and zero emission technology at Illinois ports, and improved operational efficiency and resilience of port facilities to climate impacts.
The intended beneficiaries include residents of disadvantaged communities in Cook and St. Clair counties, Illinois port operators and collaborating entities, and more broadly, the citizens of Illinois.
