ABB designs an emission-free fish farm
- Published 23 November 2022 and updated 21 September 2026. ABB Norway’s design supplies shore-grid power throughout sea-based fish farms, including to the pens, electric workboats and energy-intensive equipment such as net cleaners. Renewable electricity can make operations zero-emission. The page says ABB’s design was the first fully electric fish farm solution; ABB worked with Bellona and salmon producer Bremnes Seashore on a zero-emission Norwegian fish farm opened in 2020.
- The page says many farms rely on diesel generators that create air pollution, noise, vibration and spill risks. ABB says electrification can remove fossil fuels from routine operations, improve working and shoreline conditions, reduce maintenance and fuel costs, and support sustainability targets. The solution can be tailored to local energy mixes and conditions.
- Citing FAO projections, the page says aquaculture production could reach 109 million metric tons by 2030, 32% above 2018. It reports interest from fish farmers in Scotland and Chile, and plans for expansion in Norway and abroad. The page links the solution to UN goals 8, 9 and 14.
