How a Factory in Norway Uses Salmon Waste to Make Biogas
from The Manufacturing Podcast with Fexingo: Factories, Supply Chains, and Industrial Business · host Fexingo
In this episode of The Manufacturing Podcast, Lucas and Luna explore how a Norwegian fish-processing factory is turning salmon waste — heads, guts, and bones — into biogas that powers its own operations and even sends electricity back to the grid. They break down the numbers: 150,000 tons of salmon waste per year, 12 million cubic meters of biogas, and a 40 percent reduction in the factory's carbon footprint. The hosts also discuss the broader implications for circular manufacturing in the seafood industry, touching on Norway's ambitious goal to cut food waste by 50 percent by 2030 and how this model could be replicated in other fish-processing regions like Chile and Alaska. A concrete look at how one factory's waste stream is becoming its energy lifeline. #Norway #Biogas #SalmonWaste #CircularManufacturing #FoodWaste #RenewableEnergy #FishProcessing #IndustrialBiogas #CarbonFootprint #SeafoodIndustry #NorwayBiogas #CircularEconomy #FactoryEnergy #WasteToEnergy #Business #Manufacturing #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
