The San Pedro Bay Ports (SPBP), consisting of the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, has issued a call for maritime stakeholders to explore and help develop a pilot-scale methanol bunkering demonstration project.

As disclosed, the initiative—supported by C40 Cities, a global network of mayors working to tackle the climate crisis by endeavoring to slash greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in half by 2030—is aimed at helping position California as one of the ‘leaders’ within the alternative fuel adoption landscape.
