Climate gases
We shall reduce the emission of climate gases in production by 20% per kg of feed by 2017 and in transportation by 25% (gramme/tonne-km) before 2017.
The average temperature in the earth's atmosphere and oceans shows that global warming is a reality. Eleven of the last twelve years have been the hottest since 1850.
- Over the last 50 years, warming has progressed twice as quickly as in the 50 years before this.
- The average global temperature increased by 0.74°C in the course of the 20th century.
In itself, this doesn't sound like much, but it has a great impact on areas of both land and sea.
The carbon footprint represents the direct environmental effect of our actions in the form of carbon dioxide emissions. We all have a moral and social duty to reduce our own carbon emissions. A reduction of carbon emissions is one of the most important measures we can take to slow down global warming and climate change.

| GOAL | PARTIAL GOAL | STATUS 2014 | HIGH POINTS 2014 |
|
REDUCE EMISSIONS OF GREENHOUSE GASES FROM PRODUCTION
|
3.1 By 2017, emissions from our farms shall be reduced by 20% from the 2010 baseline |
24% down. This is an addition 3.0 percentage points from. |
We are exceeding our aims in terms of climate gas reduction in feed production |
|
3.2 We shall double our use of renewable energy to 50% of our total energy needs before 2017 |
The proportion of renewable energy in 2014 is 43%. This is an increase of 3 percentage points from 2013. | ||
|
3.3 All new capacity shall aim at achieving a 15% lower environmental impact than 2010 |
Same impact for new installations. No important new installations in 2014 |
||
|
REDUCE EMISSIONS OF GREENHOUSE GASES FROM TRANSPORTATION |
3.4 We want to reduce emission from the transportation of feed by 25% (gramme/tonne-km) by 2017 |
We can point to a decline of 15% from 2010. In proportion to 2013, there has been a relative increase of 12% due to a changed customer pattern |
|
|
REDUCE ENERGY USE, NOISE, DUST AND ODOURS |
3.5 Use of electricity and gas in 2015 shall be less than 230 and 185 kWh/tonne of goods produced at ourfactories in Karmøy and Myre respectively |
New environmental goals. To be reported from 2015 |
|
|
3.6 Every year we aim at zero complaints concerning noise, dust and odours from the surrounding environment |
|||
| 3.7 Odours shall not exceed 1 odour equivalent/m3 at the factory in Karmøy1) | |||
| 1) Odour units (OU) | |||
