This paper explores the scale of energy consumed by most segments of the Norwegian fishing fleet for gadoid fish and for parts of the pelagic fleet for the period 1980–2005. Possible means of reducing energy use and emissions are discussed including changing operational strategies, hull forms and the use of alternative energy carriers. The use of liquefied natural gas is reported to be the best short term solution which could give a reduction of the discharge of NOx of 85% and CO2 of about 20%.
