Greenhouse gas emissions caused by food production are receiving increased attention worldwide. A problem with many studies is that they only consider one product; methodological differences also make it difficult to compare results across studies. Using a consistent methodology to ensure comparability, we quantified the carbon footprint of more th...

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 refriger...

This report presents the carbon footprint and area use of Norwegian farmed salmon that is fed five different diets. It also compares the carbon footprint and occupation of agricultural land of Norwegian farmed salmon from 2010 with Swedish pig and chicken. All results are calculated according to LCA methodology where the functional unit is 1 kg edi...
