We was awarded license for production of 300 tons in Sørreisa, Norway on September 5th, 2022.
The localion has very favorable sunlight, good water exchange and access to nutrient-rich water from, among other things, farming in Solbergfjorden and Tranøyfjorden.
- Length of facility: 455 m
- Facility width: 130 m and 230 m.
- Applied surface area: 88,500 sq m
- Number of m cultivated ropework (0.5 m distance): 118,000 m + 60,000 m
- Number of m cultivated ropework (0.3 m distance): 177,000 m + 90,900 m
- Production potential at 5 kg/m (0.5m distance): 890 tonnes
- Production potential at 10 kg/m (0.5 m distance): 1780 tonnes
- Production potential at 5 kg/m (0.3 m distance): 1340 tonnes
- Production potential at 10 kg/m (0.3 m distance): 2680 tonnes
When using cultured rope netting with a mesh size of 0.3×0.3 m, the total length of rope will amount to 535,000 meters nutrient supply and 10 kg production per length meter, this will give a total production of 5350 tonnes.
The nature of the location, and the kelp’s growth potential within the AK area, must be tested to reduce uncertainty.
Assessment and analysis of live loads will also govern how many mooring lines and type of anchors must be used to ensure that the facility is safe.
We have gone into joint ventures with other producers and can produce + 10.000 tons yearly of algae.
