Study finds potential emission reductions and job opportunities on shipping corridor between Los Angeles, Long Beach and Singapore

Shipping demand on a green corridor between the ports of Los Angeles, Long Beach and Singapore is estimated to be around 850,000 tonnes of methanol and 160,000 tonnes of ammonia annually by 2030, displacing the equivalent greenhouse gas emissions from almost 320,000 cars annually, according to a study by the American Bureau Shipping.

The study, commissioned by C40 Cities and the ports, found that the transition to zero- and near-zero emission fuels on the Green and Digital Shipping Corridor (GDSC) could potentially create approximately 700 jobs in the production and supply chain of such fuels by 2030.

Port of Los Angeles executive director Gene Seroka said: “This study provides a sense of scale and scope to inform our implementation of the Green and Digital Shipping Corridor.
