From Marine Waste to Renewable Energy and Regenerative Soil
Delivered by RE+CIRCLE. Part of the Studio North portfolio.
The Challenge & Our Solution
The Problem
Norway's aquaculture industry generates significant volumes of high-organic-load waste—from uneaten feed to fish faecal matter—most of which ends up as unmanaged emissions or is lost to marine ecosystems.
Our Solution: RE+SOURCE
An industrial-scale circular bioeconomy facility that captures this underutilised marine waste stream and transforms it into biogas, clean electricity, and regenerative compost through anaerobic digestion and composting.
