Working together to decarbonize the value chain for commodities between Canada, Japan and South Korea
The North Pacific Green Corridor Consortium (NPGCC) was developed out of a need for collaboration to support the decarbonization of transportation, clean energy security and supply chain resilience between North America and Asia.

The NPGCC is a Canadian not-for-profit organization based in Vancouver, British Columbia, and applies its collective expertise to develop a corridor for the decarbonized transportation of multiple commodities, including agricultural products, metal concentrates and steelmaking coal between North America and Asia.
The members of the NPGCC are committed to establishing the consortium as a catalyst for decarbonization efforts, exploring new markets for low carbon fuels, exploring propulsion options and showcasing how carbon reduction initiatives can strengthen commercial partnerships.
The NPGCC brings together diverse sections of the value chain including bulk commodity producers, railway and intermodal transportation providers, marine vessel owners and operators, port facilities and port authorities, and clean technology providers. The members are CN Rail, Mitsubishi Canada Ltd., Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, NYK Bulk & Projects Carriers, Oldendorff Carriers, Prince Rupert Port Authority, Teck Resources Limited (Teck), Trigon Pacific Terminals, and the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority.
