Important results from the project
** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** Knowledge regarding the establishment of a large-scale RAS-type fish farm in industrial symbiosis with a pulp mill or a hydrogen factory has been developed. Surveys of suitable industrial sites for establishment have been completed. Possibilities to refine and produce residual products from fish farming have been investigated and the results show several interesting alternatives, for example regarding fermented proteins of the Single Cell Protein type.
Expected long term effects
