Carbon Visuals archive projects
How do you communicate complex services for the scientific community in ways that are not only true to the science but also make sense to a general, non-scientific audience? These two films show the services provide by Copernicus, the EU satellite monitoring programme.
Ireland's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) wanted simple visuals to show the country’s carbon footprint. We created a short animation showing the daily emissions in Dublin bay to inform and engage a wide range of audiences, from policymakers to the general public.
This simple animation was created to highlight the UK Government’s 2050 carbon reduction target of 80%. By using Piccadilly Circus and shifting the scale to that of a single person we were able to create a stir on social media about a 70 page Report.
We made this high budget film to show actual quantities of the current global fossil fuel consumption and carbon emissions. It was shown to world leaders, industry experts, campaigners and scientists at the UN Climate Summit, New York, September 2014 to catalyse and inform conversations about reducing carbon emissions.

How much carbon is stored in a tree? How does that translate into cut timber and wood products? And how much carbon can be ‘banked’ by using timber for building houses? This communication project showed the carbon benefits of using wood and timber in the UK construction sector.
How do you demonstrate a 90% carbon reduction? We provided a short animation to show this impressive 90% achievement at the European manufacturing facility of Interface, the carpet tile manufacturer and pioneer in corporate sustainability.
How do you visualise carbon offsetting for a consumer product? This animation was created to demonstrate that although the amount of CO2 offset for a single one litre pack of engine oil might be small, it adds up. Particularly when seen from the point of view of a whole country, or indeed world sales.
We created digital campaign resources for UNEP to celebrate 30 years of international effort to protect the ozone layer. A key film highlights the dangerous global warming potential of replacement gases, and the 135 billion tonnes of CO2e that the Montreal Protocol has kept out of the atmosphere.
