Port of Oakland

The Port of Oakland has an ongoing commitment to protect air, water and land resources. The agency does so by creating innovative environmental programs, engaging with the public, businesses and regulatory agencies and examining all aspects of its business model to find new ways to measure environmental performance.
  Here are a few examples of port partnerships in action:

Air
   The Port adopted greenhouse gas-reduction goals, committing to using 20 percent renewable energy by 2017, a goal that is double the state standard. 
   The Port has worked with the California Air Resources Board and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District to complete a baseline measurement of the impact Port operations have on air quality in order to develop a plan to reduce emissions.

Rail
   The Port re-powered, retrofitted or alternatively fueled more than 300 pieces of maritime yard equipment, earmarking $2 million for truckers to replace older vehicles with newer, cleaner-burning trucks. Additionally, the Port’s cranes run on electricity, and refrigerated shipping containers in the marine terminals use electricity.
     
Water
   The Port partnered the East Bay Regional Park District to establish wetlands in Oakland, at Martin Luther King Jr. Regional Shoreline Park and Middle Harbor Shoreline Park, and in Hayward, along the Oro Loma marsh.
