AKVA group, the world\u2019s largest supplier of services to the aquaculture industry, has entered into a partnership deal which could help transform the Chilean fish farming industry\u2019s power setup.<\/p>\n
The deal is with Inseanergy which specialises in turnkey solutions for floating solar power systems.<\/p>\n
AKVA\u00a0 said\u00a0 it\u00a0marks a significant step towards being able to electrify the Chilean aquaculture industry. This collaboration, the company believes, will\u00a0 transform low emission farming practices in the region by harnessing solar energy to power Chilean fish farming operations.<\/p>\n
AKVA Chile General Manager Christian Gerardo Sch\u00e4fer Oyanedel said: \u201cThis is good for the environment and aligns perfectly with the industry\u2019s shift towards sustainability.<\/p>\n
\u201cChile\u2019s solar energy potential is particularly promising for the aquaculture industry, and we are excited to explore this further.\u201d<\/p>\n
By teaming up with Inseanergy and also Kverneland Energi, he said AKVA is demonstrating its firm belief in the transformative power of low emission and deep farming technologies.<\/p>\n
The initiative aims at precision farming with minimal emissions, incorporating advanced hybrid battery systems, solar power plants, software, and control systems tailored to meet the challenging demands of sustainable aquaculture.<\/p>\n
It\u00a0 focuses on replacing fossil fuels with solar energy, reducing fossil fuel energy consumption.<\/p>\n
This represents a leap towards environmental stewardship and opens up new possibilities for locations previously deemed challenging due to reliance on gas tanks or diesel, thereby cutting down the fossil footprint significantly.<\/p>\n
Sch\u00e4fer Oyanede explained that the\u00a0 solar power plant will work as a\u00a0\u201cfloating generator\u201d and will be able to produce as much as 290 Kw per hour.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn combination with a battery pack and water feeding, we can reduce the running time of the diesel generator by up to 90% on a typical fish farm,\u201d he maintained.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":2,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[177],"tags":[2089,1226],"region":[2006],"source":[2627],"country":[2277],"state":[],"city":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newss\/117016"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newss"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/newss"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newss\/117016\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":117017,"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newss\/117016\/revisions\/117017"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=117016"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=117016"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=117016"},{"taxonomy":"region","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/region?post=117016"},{"taxonomy":"source","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/source?post=117016"},{"taxonomy":"country","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/country?post=117016"},{"taxonomy":"state","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/state?post=117016"},{"taxonomy":"city","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/city?post=117016"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
