Nordic Halibut Launches Energy-Efficient Aquaculture Facility in Norway

Nordic Halibut is constructing a new land-based aquaculture facility in Tingvoll that targets an annual output of 10,350 tonnes. The facility will utilize advanced energy-efficient heating and cooling systems, primarily from PTG FrioNordica, including two ammonia-based heat pumps and heat exchangers to optimize temperature regulation.

This integrated approach supports multiple production phases at a single site, contributing to sustainable aquaculture. The partnership, which began in 2010, aims to enhance temperature stability and energy efficiency, promoting the viability of land-based farming in reducing environmental impacts. Risks include potential reliance on energy costs and technology performance in a rapidly evolving market.
