Representatives of the Danish aquaculture industry are gearing up to showcase their expertise in energy efficiency solutions at this year’s Aqua Nor in Trondheim Spektrum on 24 August 2021.
Thirty-six companies will be present at the Pavilion of Denmark, where they will be showcasing a wide range of solutions focused on sustainability and reducing carbon footprint.
Martin Winkel Lilleøre, head of Fish Tech, Danish Export Association, the organiser of the Pavilion of Denmark, said that Danish companies could support the aquaculture industry in the more energy efficient production of farmed fish.
“Right now, we are really experiencing a move in the industry towards increased attention to circular thinking, optimisation and energy efficiency in production while still meeting the growing demand for farmed fish,” he said.
“This offers great potential for Danish suppliers that hold a position as front-runners in developing new technology with a strong focus on high quality solutions, cost-efficiency and sustainability,” he added.
One of the companies at the Pavilion of Denmark is Danfoss, whose head of food production at Danfoss Climate Solutions, Ian Jones, highlighted the growing demand for technology in the aquaculture market. “We see a significant increase in opportunities for land-based fish farms and many farm operators are looking into recirculation aquaculture systems,” he said.
“Facilities are getting larger and are producing fish to the final grow out and this demands new technology,” he added.
