Abstract [en]
Fuel consumption and emission of cooling agents are important sources for climate impact from the value chain of wild caught Norwegian seafood products. For products that are exported quickly and/or over long distances transport is also an important source. Pelagic products have low carbon footprints due to energy efficient fishing, modern refrigeration systems and efficient export methods. The fuel consumption per kilo landed products varies a lot in Norwegian fisheries, both within fisheries that use the same gear or that target the same species. This variation shows that there is a high potential to reduce GHG emissions from Norwegian fisheries.
