Transport Canada has awarded the Port of Halifax, Nova Scotia, up to CAD 22.5 million, under the Green Shipping Corridor Program, to accelerate development of the Halifax – Hamburg green shipping corridor by:
- preparing to host, and potentially refuel, alternative fuel-powered vessels;
- establishing a hydrogen production facility;
- electrifying port equipment to reduce emissions; and
- acquiring an electric rail locomotive and launching an incentive program to shift freight traffic from road to rail.
