Film London has joined forces with Creative Zero to publish The Fuel Project, a report looking at the decarbonisation of supplier transport and mobile power for London’s Film and TV industry.
The report, supported by Netflix and Sky, includes insights into how industry suppliers can transition to decarbonised vehicle and mobile power technologies.
The burning of fossil fuels for transport and power is the single greatest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions from London’s film and TV industry, said the report. As suppliers tend to own these technologies, a collaborative approach is therefore crucial for industry decarbonisation.
Key recommendations of the report range from financing the transition to exploring new business models.
Speaking about the report’s findings, Daniela Kirchner, chief operating officer of Film London, said: “The coming years will witness an energy transition the likes of which has not been seen since the end of the 19th century. As the Capital strives for clean air, we hope this research can have a positive and meaningful impact on decarbonisation of vehicles and mobile power units, in turn, demonstrating once again how our industry can lead by example.”
Ben Holt, head of production, UK, Netflix, added: “The Fuel Project reinforces what we are learning on the ground and paints a picture of how studios like Netflix can phase out the use of fossil fuels in our production operations. This transition will help us to modernise our productions and meet our climate goals.”
