Film London and Creative Zero have launched a new report taking an in-depth look at decarbonising supplier transport and mobile power for London’s Film and TV industry.
The Fuel Project report, supported by Netflix and Sky, includes key recommendations for industry action in London, with the hope that findings can be shared across the UK and beyond.
The report also offers an insight into what a just transition to decarbonised vehicle and mobile power technologies might look like.
Key recommendations range from financing the transition to exploring new business models.
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.
Calling on a collaborative approach
As suppliers tend to own these technologies, the report said a collaborative approach is therefore crucial in the path toward industry-wide decarbonisation.
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.”
Roxy Erickson, Sustainable Business Consultant at Creative Zero, said: “The collaboration and cooperation exhibited by those who took part in this project begins to exemplify the type of effort needed across the industry to create a healthy future for it in the Capital.”
Ben Holt, Head of Production, UK at Netflix, said: “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.”
