HB Grandi: Switching to electricity - 'genius': Five fishmeal and oil factories in Iceland now run on electricity rather than imported oil, thanks to an agreement reached with power provider

摘要

Switching Icelandic fishmeal plants to run on electricity has been under scrutiny recently, but it is now possible to produce high-quality fishmeal and fish oil in five factories, powered by locally-generated electricity instead of imported oil. HB Grandi's fishmeal production plant in Vopnafiordur was at the forefront of this innovation two years ago, and according to factory manager Sveinbjorn Sigmundsson, the benefits of switching to electrical power have been much greater than he could have hoped for.
