This is food which are sustainable harvested and which have a very low carbon footprint compared with most alternative food available. Still, there are a potential for making this food even more environmentally friendly.
Fossil fuel is by far the most important energy carrier for the global fishing fleet. By changing from fossil fuel to hydroelectric power carried in batteries on board the fleet, food from the ocean space will be an even more sustainable alternative than it is today.
Fuel is one of the main costs for the fishing fleet. New battery technology and electric solutions from the car industry makes it plausible to achieve economic gain by substituting fuel with electricity in parts of the operations or in whole the operation.
In this project we will investigate how to best electrify a small fishing vessel to achieve maximum gain and effect. In a previous project Selfa Arctic built a vessel with a hybrid electric propulsion system. This prototype will be used as a full scale laboratory where energy balance will be logged and analysed by SINTEF and Siemens. It will be operated by a commercial fishing company and experience from operations in real condition will be achieved. The eco-friendly fishing vessel for tomorrow will during this project be made possible.
