The Port of Vancouver is testing an array of low\u2013 and zero-emission <\/p>\n

fuels<\/a> and technologies to achieve zero emissions by 2050.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"PORT<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority is working together with partners from <\/p>\n

across the port community to phase out all port-related emissions.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Through the Low-Emission Technology Initiative, a joint scheme between the <\/p>\n

port authority and the Province of British Columbia, the port authority and the <\/p>\n

province have each committed CA$1.5 million ($1.1 million) in funding to support <\/p>\n

the port community\u2019s transition to low-emission energy.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The initiative includes testing of battery-electric-powered terminal <\/p>\n

tractors; 100 per cent biodiesel on commercial ferries; a hydrogen-powered <\/p>\n

crane; and 100 per cent renewable diesel on a terminal locomotive and one of the <\/p>\n

port authority\u2019s patrol boats.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cCharting our course towards a zero-emission port starts with collaborative <\/p>\n

efforts like these \u2013 between the port authority, the port community, and <\/p>\n

government \u2013 to test innovative new low-emission fuels and technologies that <\/p>\n

reduce emissions while keeping trade moving through the Port of Vancouver,\u201d said <\/p>\n

Robin Silvester, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Vancouver Fraser <\/p>\n

Port Authority.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe plan to continue taking tangible steps, in close collaboration with our <\/p>\n

partners across the port, towards our goal of phasing out all port-related <\/p>\n

emissions by 2050.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Efforts to test low-emission fuels include a six-month trial of 100 per <\/p>\n

cent renewable diesel on one of the port authority\u2019s patrol boats, the Takaya \u2013 <\/p>\n

the first federal agency in Canada to do so according to the port authority.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Partners to this initiative include Viterra, DP World, and Seaspan <\/p>\n

Ferries.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

DP World, which operates four container terminals across British Columbia, <\/p>\n

recently installed five zero-emission electric rail-mounted gantry cranes at its <\/p>\n

Centerm container terminal on the south shore of Burrard Inlet and additional <\/p>\n

shore power technology.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The carrier is also in the final planning stages of retrofitting a hydrogen <\/p>\n

fuel cell-powered rubber-tyred gantry (RTG) crane.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Following severe weather events in November 2021, the Port of Vancouver <\/p>\n

experienced significant congestion in ocean and rail. PTI spoke to the Vancouver <\/p>\n

Fraser Port Authority about possible solutions and the way ahead.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
