Sustainability in Fjell Technology Group

"Sustainability is anchored in our strategy and vision. We shall ensure sustainability throughout our value chain, and by this enhance the sustainability in all industries where we are engaged."

Sustainability is central to our vision and products

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDG) is the guideline for our sustainability practise - We have incorporated many of the goals in our strategy and deliver products and technology in-line with these.

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
UN SDG 11
UN SDG 12UN SDG 13un SDG 14

Our solutions have impact towards sustainable communities and are directly in line with many of UN SDG goals.

Our commitment

  • Utilise by-products and Raw materials

    We deliver recognised and proven technology and solutions for

    • Production of high-quality fish meal and fish oil from processing of small pelagic fish species, fish cut-offs and fish trimmings.
    • Cleaning the wastewater from fish farms to dried fish sludge, where the sludge can be used in new value chains like fertilizer production, nutrient extraction, or in the future for insect feed production. Fjell develops a groundbraking new technology and value chain that valorizes dried fish sludge - converting it to a high-end profitable product.

    This is what we call The Value Circle.

    R&D is in our DNA. Our innovation capacity includes a complete and full-scale mobile test facility to demonstrate and optimise the performance our drying technology on a broad range of rest raw materisl in different industries - all with the purpose to create new Value circles.

    Technology for value circle

  • Clean water

    Fjell is a leading supplier of WasteWater Treatment Plants (WWTP)

    • Our WWTP plants helps our customers meet their environmental responsibility.
    • Cleaned wastewater enable higher production efficiency, as water recipient requirements can be met, and the risk of anoxic resipient conditions and algae blooms are minimized.
    • A healthy sea and sea life is vital from an environmental perspective but also for the industry itself.
    • Our solutions have strong impact in developing countries on both environmental and social sustainability goals, as waste water treatment upgrades critical infrastructure and improves the health of the workers and citizens when installed.

    We deliver WWTP to aquaculture, fish slaughterhouses & fish processing plants. In addition, we provide technology for reject water and smell removal to industries such as Fishmeal and fish oil, Municipal WWTP, Biogas digestate.

  • Energy efficiency

    Energy efficiency is as important as the shift from fossil fuels for the Energy Transition. We have knowledge and extensive experience from decades in the process industry offering market-leading energy-efficient process equipment. We leverage our leading expertise on waste heat and energy recovery to minimize the energy consumption of the complete process plant.

    • Our patented design of Fjell process equipment is leakproof with higher reliability and longer lifetime than conventional designs - demonstrated by decades of equipments in operation. Longer lifetime has a direct cost and sustainable impact.
    • Our patented Fjell designs that reduce energy consumption by up to 40% of Sludge drying systems and Fishmeal & fish oil plants compared to plants in operation in the industry today.

Our contribution to Climate change mitigation

Climate action has never been more urgent. Fjell Technology Group has developed CO2 capture technology for more than a decade and our commitment to contribute by R&D remains strong.

Our focus has been on developing new CO2 capture technologies that substantially bring down the cost associated with industry decarbonisation. Compact Carbon Capture originated from Fjell Technology Group was aqcuired by a global energy corporate in 2020.

Fjell Technology Group continues to contribute, currently we are developing a next generation CO2 capture technology for large emission points together with our strong research partners SINTEF and NTNU.

Sustainability of tomorrow

Sustainability has been central to our strategy for many years. 

  • We have the knowledge and technology to help our customers become the most sustainable companies in their business, addressing emissions, energy consumption, and raw material efficiency. As we see roll out of net-zero policies and regulations, we believe this will become the competetive advantage for your (and our) business.
  • We aknowledge that our activities can negatively affect other goals, and therefore we monitor and take active measures to contribute in the social and economic area. To document our claims we shall make climate accounts for each project starting in 2023. In addition we shall set goals for continuous improvement. Our ISO sertification includes ISO 9000 and ISO 14001.
  • Our committment remains strong to create new secondary value chains, reduce emissions and enable energy efficiency.
