New Jersey’s Proposed Warehouse and Port Pollution Reduction Act

This bill, introduced in July 2024 in both houses of the New Jersey state legislature, would force owners of warehouses larger than 50,000 square feet to reduce emissions that enter the atmosphere and surrounding neighborhoods. Operators will have several options to reduce air pollution, such as purchasing zero-emission trucks, using zero-emission forklifts and other equipment, installing solar generators and shifting some loads from trucks to light vehicles or ferries.
