Home found for 'most sustainable' trout farm
Onnest, a Danish company planning to build the world’s most sustainable trout farm, has announced that it has secured a site for the land-based facility.
The site is next to Egebakken and Hirtshals Transport Centre in Hirtshals.
“We have entered into a purchase agreement with Hjørring municipality for approximately 85,000 m² of land regulated for aquaculture,” co-founder Samuel Muren wrote on the company’s website.
“The Onnest site and its localisation have been discussed for some time, and the parties have now finally formalised an agreement that will mark the start of our development plans.
Continuous support
“As such, this agreement is therefore the result of the much-appreciated cooperation with Hjørring municipality. Their continuous support is, and has been, an important success factor for the Onnest business case so far.
“The property itself is well placed for realising our vision on the future of aquaculture, and it can accommodate both our short-term development work and our long-term expansion plans. Moreover, we also hope its central location will spark curiosity and interest from both the local community and visitors alike. We think this is going to be a good home.
“We look forward to sharing more of our plans once our development and planning work gets up and running.”
