  "account": "The Port of Long Beach and a coalition of partners have set a goal to power 35% of international shipping's final energy demand with electricity by 2035, according to a maritime electrification proposal unveiled at a climate conference in Ankara. The initiative centers around shore-power infrastructure and positions ports like Long Beach, Los Angeles, Seattle, and Miami as key players in the transition away from fossil fuels. Currently, electricity makes up 20% of maritime energy needs, with the proposal aiming to expand shore power and battery-powered ships, along with renewable energy generation and expanded electricity networks. The framework also highlights potential health benefits for nearby communities and links electrification to job development for workers in the sector.",
