Energy transition of Nordic fisheries
Fisheries can provide nutritious food but is strongly dependent on fossil fuels. For the necessary climate transition, it is essential to reduce energy demand and switch to the use of alternative fuels. However, there are many challenges.
The aim of this project was to be able to establish a more long-term collaboration across Nordic countries that can support an effective energy transition by sharing experiences between countries and thus maintain the Nordic region's leading position in the field. As a starting point, there is a need for increased understanding of current barriers and opportunities.
A conference was organised in Gothenburg on November 19th (2024), followed by a smaller workshop with the aim of identifying more long-term strategies for co-operation on the energy transition of fisheries in the Nordic region. More information on the event is found below, and a short working paper summarizing overall project findings can be found here.
