2012/759 Cleaner production strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emission in the Western Australian finfish industry

By Felicity Denham

This research consisted of an unique study of the whole finfish fillet supply chain in Western Australia and provided recommendations to industry of areas to target that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions economically, without compromising the product quality. The research successfully measure the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from three Western Australian finfish supply chains, found the areas of greatest emissions using a streamlined life cycle assessment and then developed and assessed (for their potential GHG reduction, impact on costs, and product quality) potential cleaner production strategies.
