Biden administration allocates $3B for clean port grants to reduce carbon emissions and create jobs at 55 U.S. ports, including Baltimore.

The Biden administration is allocating nearly $3 billion in grants through the Clean Ports Program to improve infrastructure at 55 U.S. ports, including Baltimore. This funding aims to transition ports to zero-emission operations, reduce over 3 million metric tons of carbon emissions, and create approximately 40,000 union jobs. The initiative, part of Biden's climate law, addresses diesel pollution and promotes environmental justice for surrounding communities.
