​About the event

​Following our flagship Port Powerhouse event at Climate Week NYC 2025, we're bringing Port Powerhouse West to SF Climate Week! The event will focus on how ports are delivering climate-positive economic development in practice.

​This in-person event will spotlight how ports are translating climate ambition into investable projects, durable jobs, regional competitiveness, and community value, with a particular focus on electrification, zero-emission maritime fuels, and ports’ evolving role as energy and innovation hubs.

​Designed as a peer-driven, action-oriented forum, the convening will elevate real projects and leadership from West Coast ports while creating space for practical exchange on what it takes to move from strategy to delivery.
