Alternative Fuels

The AAPA POWERS program advocates for federal policies to support American energy prowess, pragmatic decarbonization, technology for renewables, and environmental sustainability.

To meet the nation’s energy supply and sustainability objectives, the port industry will work with the federal government to:

Ports can reduce emissions and increase energy security.

Increase alternative fuel domestic use and production. Ports can reduce emissions and increase energy security by utilizing LNG, propane, hydrogen, methanol, and ammonia in both land-side vehicles and marine vessels. The renewable fuels future is on the horizon, and we will get there by:
Investing in technology and infrastructure for next-gen shipping fuels. Ports will play a key role in the development of national hubs for hydrogen and other alternative fuels.
Supporting the establishment of green shipping corridors between ports in the United States and around the world.
Making data-driven decisions about how we get to net-zero through industry coordination and government support.
