SalMar has made significant progress in reducing its GHG emissions, achieving a reduction of more than 90,000 tonnes CO2e or 17% by processing 36.3% of its harvested volume locally in Norway. The company has implemented electric and hybrid-propulsion boats and is exploring alternative energy sources. SalMar has also optimized its feed conversion ratio and installed a turbine in the hatchery's supply pipe to generate electrical power. In Iceland, geothermal energy is used to reduce energy requirements, and local hydro power enhances efficiency. SalMar's efforts include connecting sea sites to onshore electricity sources and using novel, low-carbon feed ingredients to reduce Scope 3 emissions, which account for 55% of its total emissions. The company is in dialogue with feed suppliers to improve agricultural practices and include more climate-friendly ingredients in its feed.
