The Fuel Report

The Fuel Project Report proposes practical solutions to reduce air pollutian & carbon emittions from land vehicles & generators on film & TV productions. With 35% of a production’s carbon emissions coming from land transport & 15% from mobile power generation, these two technologies alone are therefore responsible for roughly half of production carbon emissions. High levels of air pollution from the combustion of fossil fuels are responsible for huge impacts on public health, including the death of around 4000 people per year in London. In addition, these technologies are owned predominantly by industry supply companies. These businesses tend to be SMEs who often lack expertise, incentive & finances to address the transition. The report provides free to access, practical information, steps & support to suppliers as they make the move toward new, low-carbon technologies, helping drive down emissions in the industry as a whole. The report also sets out to myth-bust some current assumptions on a number of key, low carbon, fuel options available; particularly focusing on battery, hydrogen & Hydro-treated Vegetable Oil (HVO). Whilst these fuel solutions can play a crucial role in helping the industry meet its environmental commitments & net zero targets, challenges remain. Concerns around cost, supply & real-world environmental impact can create confusion & inertia around these solutions. The report sets out to address the chief concerns currently serving as a barrier to action.
