The objective of the project is to realize a value chain for salmon sludge that delivers climate savings, societal benefits, and economic gains. The project involves commercial partners with a direct interest in realizing different parts of the value chain. In this project, SINTEF will assess various application areas for salt organic sludge, as well as possible treatment methods for finalizing the product.

The project is funded by the partners and the Climate Funds of Nordland County.
