Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
Description: The purpose of this award is to provide funding under the Inflation Reduction Act to Diamond State Port Corporation.
Specifically, the recipient will improve air quality and reduce pollution at Port Delaware South, Port Delaware North, and in the surrounding area through the deployment of zero-emission equipment and infrastructure at the port.
Activities: The activities include replacing existing diesel-powered cargo handling equipment (yard cranes, terminal tractors, forklifts, and top handlers) with fully electric units, converting yard and ship-to-shore cranes from diesel to fully electric, purchasing new all-electric container handling equipment, and providing chargers and electrical infrastructure to support the new electric cargo handling equipment.
Subrecipient: No subawards are included in this assistance agreement.
Outcomes: The anticipated deliverables include the deployment or conversion of 142 pieces of cargo handling equipment, purchase and installation of 54 chargers for the equipment, construction of enabling infrastructure, and scrapping 38 pieces of existing equipment.
Other deliverables include preparing and maintaining an emissions inventory and conducting community engagement efforts.
The expected outcomes include reduced NOx, CO2, and PM2.5 emissions; diesel fuel use reductions; improved air quality near port communities; and the creation and sustainment of long-term, high-quality jobs for local residents in disadvantaged communities.
The intended beneficiaries include the Diamond State Port Corporation (grantee); Port Wilmington (partner), which will implement the zero-emissions projects and operate the equipment and infrastructure; and Delmarva (partner), which will provide power to both Port Delaware South and Port Delaware North via their distribution network.
Indirect beneficiaries include near-port communities which will experience increased access to high-quality jobs and improved ambient air quality.
