CORE in the Community – Event Recaps
Maritime Decarbonization Conference
CORE Project Administrators were asked to speak at the Maritime Decarbonization Conference on December 4-5 in Katy, Texas. They discussed the importance of ports as catalysts for zero-emission corridors and discussed the design and intent of the California CORE Project. CORE funds many different types of equipment that are used throughout the supply chain journey of goods carried by ships. It was great to interact with so many different end users and other stakeholders in the maritime and adjacent sectors.
