Air Quality & Emissions¶
Jacksonville Emissions Analysis¶
← Back to Port of Jacksonville Assessment
The air quality analysis for the Port of Jacksonville examines emissions from all port-related sources — oceangoing vessels at berth (RoRo carriers, container ships, and breakbulk vessels), port equipment, and harbor craft — and their impact on ambient air quality in surrounding communities.
No Comprehensive Inventory
JAXPORT does not publish a comprehensive port-wide emissions inventory. Emissions estimates referenced in our deeper analysis are derived from ICCT screening data, vessel call records (~132/month), and EPA emission factors. This introduces additional uncertainty compared to ports with EPA-partnered inventories.
