Fish fingers, breaded, frozen
Climate footprint in kg CO2e/kg
Detailed background data
It has been assumed that the food processing industry is located in Denmark. Based on the Agribalyse data set for breaded fish (ADEME 2020k), considering pollock. The original data refers to a fried product and includes 12.8% material loss, which we assume is related to the frying process. Since we target a raw product, we disregard these losses. We include energy for freezing the product, based on another Agribalyse data set (ADEME 2020l). No other manufacturing inputs included. Retail is modelled assuming the following storage: Frozen. See more details as well as literature references in the methodoly report on: www.denstoreklimadatabase.dk.
Data on inputs and outputs of the food processing industry is modelled using: ADEME (2020k); ADEME (2020l). Data for this species is based on data for salmon aquaculture because it is currently fished to its carrying capacity and wild catch cannot be increased.
