Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund Investments Multi-Source Facility – Port of Los Angeles Green Omni Terminal

Vehicles/Equipment Funded:

• Five (5) Battery Electric Yard Tractors (2 TransPower, 2 BYD, 1 TBD)
• Three (3) Battery Electric 21-ton Forklift Repowers (TransPower)
• Two (2) Battery Electric On-road Drayage Trucks (TransPower)
• One (1) At-berth Vessel Emission Control System ShoreKat (Clean Air Engineering Maritime)
• 2.6-MegaWatt Battery Storage Systems

Lessons Learned:

• Require maintenance and repair personnel to review equipment specifications thoroughly before placing orders. This helps reduce the need for post-delivery modifications.
• Identify any Cal/OSHA and permitting documentation required by the demonstration partner before operating the equipment and include this time in the project schedule.
• Ensure project partners with long-term (multi-year) grant commitments have secure, long-term entitlement to the project location before starting work.
• Use standardized charging equipment whenever possible. (Note: At the start of this project, standard EVSEs were not yet commercially available, resulting in multiple chargers with different connection types at the terminal.)

Status Updates:

• Five yard tractors, two on-road trucks, and three forklifts are at the terminal.
• All chargers have been installed and permitted for use.
• As of December 2023, the solar PV system has not been installed, the BESS is not energized, and the microgrid is consequently not in operation.
• Structural building repairs necessary to support solar are complete. It is anticipated that all the elements of the microgrid will be in place in 2024.
• The ShoreKat treatment system demonstration period is complete. Carbon capture pilot demonstrations were not performed due to technical and economic infeasibility
