The Port of Long Beach issued its 2021 emissions inventory report, presenting both good and bad news on its performance.
The bad news is that record cargo volumes and the unusually high number of ocean-going vessels staying at anchor off the coast drove up greenhouse gas emissions by 22% over the baseline 2005 results.
The good news is that other pollutant emissions were significantly lower in 2021 compared with 2005. Decreases were 88% in diesel soot, 49% in nitrogen oxides and 96% in sulfur oxides.
