Turning emissions into omega-3: CO₂-based salmon feed shows promising results

New project converts industrial CO₂ into algae-based salmon feed

Captured CO₂ emissions from a ferrosilicon plant in Norway are being transformed into algae-based salmon feed through a new project by the Arctic University of Norway, SINTEF, and Nofima in collaboration with Finnfjord AS. Early trials show that the feed supports strong salmon growth, health, and even reduces lice. Three research environments are working together with the ferrosilicon plant Finnfjord AS in Troms to turn all polluting CO₂ from th…

Turning carbon emissions into aquaculture feed

A project in northern Norway is converting industrial CO₂ emissions into a nutritious feed ingredient for farmed salmon – and early results suggest the fish are doing well.

Turning emissions into omega-3: CO₂-based salmon feed shows promising results

Algae-fed salmon: Researchers trial high-CO₂ microalgae feed with promising results. A collaborative research project in Northern Norway is trialling a novel salmon feed made from microalgae cultivated using CO₂ emissions from the ferrosilicon industry. Early results suggest strong potential for growth performance, fish health, and reduced sea lice levels. The project brings together researchers from [...]
