San Pedro Bay Ports seeks partners for methanol bunkering pilot project
The San Pedro Bay Ports (SPBP), consisting of the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, has issued a call for maritime stakeholders to explore and help develop a pilot-scale methanol bunkering demonstration project.
As disclosed, the initiative—supported by C40 Cities, a global network of mayors working to tackle the climate crisis by endeavoring to slash greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in half by 2030—is aimed at helping position California as one of the ‘leaders’ within the alternative fuel adoption landscape.
The San Pedro Bay Ports, considered the largest container gateway in the United States and one of the most emissions-intensive complexes in the Golden State, expects that this project could eventually provide a “replicable model” for other U.S. ports that are gearing up for the adoption of methanol—a fuel that has, in addition to ammonia, gained increased interest among maritime stakeholders.
