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.
To catalyze the energy transition in fisheries, a newly established network intends to collaborate to increase the understanding of barriers and opportunities for effective energy transition in Nordic fisheries. The aim of this project is to be able to establish a more long-term collaboration that can support the continued energy transition by sharing experiences between countries and thus maintain the Nordic region's leading position in the field.
Based on the current state of knowledge, the perspectives of different Nordic countries will be presented at a conference in Gothenburg on 19 November 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.
