Shipping containers that arrive on large ocean vessels, like these seen at the Port of Oakland, are most often unloaded by diesel equipment, moved around shipping yards by diesel trucks, and make their way to warehouses and distribution hubs on diesel semi-trucksISRs can influence the electrification of these processes.

For example, recent attention has focused on tightening the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for ozone smog, which is formed by atmospheric reactions on volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). The SCC then monetizes those impacts over time.
