Chasing Zero
Chasing Zero traces how the busiest U.S. ports became the cleanest. Explore how the LA–Long Beach ports confronted pollution, reshaped trade, and influenced global policy. The book offers an inside look at the goods movement industry while honoring the people who spent decades advancing cleaner, more sustainable practices. Their stories are part of a larger effort to decarbonize supply chains and define what comes next.
Author Kat Janowicz, CEO of 3COTECH, brings a systems-level perspective shaped by years of work across ports, energy, transportation, and clean technology. Her focus is on bridging technical insight with policy, community, and industry priorities. In Chasing Zero, she weaves that experience into a story that’s both accessible and deeply informed.
We don’t just advise on strategy—we shape trajectories.
