Norway's salmon farming industry is releasing nutrient waste equivalent to the raw sewage of millions of people, threatening the oxygen levels and biodiversity of its fjords. This environmental strain comes as the industry balances global production demands with local ecosystem carrying capacities. Meanwhile, the European Commission is drafting plans to expand free emissions permits by including indirect emissions. This move could save European industries billions in carbon costs through 2030, reflecting a tension between climate goals and economic competitiveness.
