Use of Europe Soya certified SPC source in feed could drastically boost the sustainability profile of Norwegian salmon production

A study by FiBL and Footprint-consult reveals that incorporating Europe Soya certified soy protein concentrate (SPC) in salmon feed can reduce CO2 emissions by 41% compared to Brazil sourced SPC. The research, commissioned by Donau Soja, analyzed SPC produced by Russia’s Sodrugestvo Group and considered emissions from soybean production to the final product. If the Norwegian salmon feed industry shifts to ES certified SPC, Norway could reduce its gross greenhouse gas emissions by 1.5m tons CO2-eq annually, which is nearly 3% of the national emissions. The Sodrugestvo Group is expanding its SPC production capacity from 60,000 tons to 150,000–160,000 tons annually, and Skretting Norway and BioMar have already incorporated the ES certified SPC into their salmon feed.

Salmon feed production incorporating a Europe Soya certified soy protein concentrate (SPC) can cut 41% of CO2 emissions compared to Brazil sourced SPC, according to a new study carried out by the Research Institute of Organic Agriculture (FiBL) in Austria and Footprint-consult. The research was commissioned by Donau Soja, a Vienna headquartered organization that promotes a non-GM, sustainable and European protein supply. The study was part of a wider project aimed at developing a European SPC supply for Norwegian salmon production. “We started the initiative about three to four years ago. The objective was to be able to supply the Norwegian salmon feed industry with sustainable and certified soy products. The demand is huge. We have invested in the sourcing, the development of the value chain, working with farmers [in the Balkans] and the Sodrugestvo Group on the processing side. Over the next year, 50% of the demand for SPC by Norwegian salmon feed producers could be covered by ...
