Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
Description: The purpose of this award is to provide funding under the Inflation Reduction Act to Cleveland-Cuyahoga County Port Authority.
Specifically, the recipient will improve air quality and reduce pollution at the Port of Cleveland and in the surrounding area through the deployment of zero-emission equipment and infrastructure at the port.
Activities: The activities include the deployment of 10 new forklifts, 2 reach stackers, 7 180-kW vehicle chargers, 2 electric tugboats, 2 diesel tugboats, 2 harbor vessel charging systems, and 1 mobile harbor crane.
Other deliverables include the installation of one crane charging and powering equipment, installation of vessel shore power at one dock location, installation of infrastructure to expand future vessel shore power operations, and installation of one solar energy system and associated battery energy storage system.
Subrecipient: To enhance project effectiveness and efficiency, the port will execute subaward agreements, consistent with this grant application and EPA's subaward policy, with both LOGISTEC and GLT.
LOGISTEC and GLT will retain ownership of all newly purchased equipment and infrastructure and will be fully responsible for all future operational and maintenance needs.
All purchases will remain in Cleveland to serve the port in accordance with NOFO requirements.
Outcomes: The anticipated activities include a fleet of zero-emission vehicles and associated charging equipment.
The expected outcomes include reduced nitrogen oxides, fine particulate matter, and carbon dioxide emissions; increased renewable power output; reduced reliance on diesel fuels; reduced power grid emissions; increased transparency and communication about port activities with the local community; and increased access to high-quality job opportunities for near-port communities.
The intended beneficiaries include the Port of Cleveland, LOGISTEC, and Great Lakes Towing, which will continue to support daily operations and facilitate cargo movement at the port, as well as manage operational and maintenance needs for all newly purchased equipment and infrastructure.
Indirect beneficiaries include near-port communities which will experience improved ambient air quality.
