Venue: Bergen, Norway and online This European Sustainable Phosphorus Platform (ESPP) workshop covers nutrient management in aquaculture feed, seafood processing and fish sludge valorisation. Topics considered include nutrient flows, environmental best practice, phosphorus recycling and regulatory challenges. Participants include the European Commission (DG MARE and DG SANTE), key aquaculture industry players, R&D initiatives and Networks, and UNEP and the Norwegian authorities. Oucomes will contribute to the United Nations (UNEP) project uPcycle, leading to a UNEP white paper on phosphorus sustainability in aquaculture. For in-person attendees there are site visits to National Algaepilot in Mongstad and Lerøy Seafood fish farm with sludge recovery in Skaftå. The workshop is a EU Green Week partner event. It is organised by ESPP together with NORCE, NIBIO, the UK CEH and Ragn-Sells with support from the INNOAQUA Project. For the full programme and registration details see HERE Dr Yue Zhang, co-Lead of EBNet’s Anaerobic Fermentation WG, said “AF has the potential to promote nutrient recovery from fish farm sludges along with the production of organic chemicals: implementation of this technology can protect the environment while providing a more circular approach to phosphorus utilisation”. |
