Clean Power Services
Quickly understand whether cleaner temporary power options are likely to save money, add cost or need better evidence before decisions are locked.
D-Carbon helps productions, broadcasters and studios forecast, compare and review temporary power decisions using a practical BAU vs Clean vs Actual approach.
This makes fuel, cost, and carbon visible — so progress can be measured and clean power delivery is incentivised.
BAU vs Clean vs Actual
Clean power by 2030 is not a simple yes or no. It is a journey of improving energy efficiency across productions of different shapes, sizes, locations and power needs.
D-Carbon uses BAU vs Clean vs Actual to compare what would normally happen, what could improve, and what was actually delivered using cost and energy performance. This helps productions understand what worked, what were the challenges, and where the next opportunities are.
BAU
BAU shows the likely fuel, carbon and cost impact of a business-as-usual generator approach. This creates a realistic baseline so cleaner options can be compared fairly.
- Expected fuel use
- Expected carbon impact
- Expected energy spend
- Likely generator or supplier approach
- Key assumptions and constraints
Clean
Clean compares practical lower-impact options such as grid power, battery, hybrid systems, right-sizing, shared power, improved scheduling or clearer supplier briefing.
- Cleaner option comparison
- Fuel, carbon and commercial implications
- Energy performance considerations
- Delivery risks and constraints
- Practicality for the production
Actual
Actual reviews what happened and captured lessons learned, so progress be built into the next production towards 2030 targets.
- Actual fuel and carbon outcome
- kWh/L where available
- Cost per kWh where available
- Evidence quality
- Barriers, lessons and next steps
This turns temporary power from a late-stage logistics issue into a cost and energy opportunity: plan earlier, manage delivery, review outcomes and improve the next production.
Bridging industry ambition, production pressure and supplier reality.
Clean power decisions only work when corporate ambition is connected to real production conditions and supplier delivery. D-Carbon helps bridge these perspectives so cleaner power becomes practical, measurable and repeatable.
For Productions
Productions need practical support that works within real budgets, schedules, locations, supplier availability and delivery risk. D-Carbon helps production teams forecast, reduce and evidence fuel use, emissions and delivery impact without adding unnecessary pressure to production.
- Identify avoidable fuel waste
- Understand likely cost and carbon impact
- Plan cleaner options earlier
- Capture evidence for review and reporting
For Broadcasters & Studios
Broadcasters, studios and commissioners need credible decarbonisation progress, better evidence and practical ways to understand what is happening across productions and slates. D-Carbon helps turn clean power commitments into repeatable production workflows, outcome review and learning across productions.
- Identify strategic opportunities for decarbonisation and cost efficiency
- Understand recurring barriers across productions
- Build repeatable production workflows
- Turn outcomes into learning for future commissioning
For Power Suppliers
Suppliers need clearer briefs, fairer comparison of cleaner options and a standardised way to evidence fuel, carbon, energy performance and delivery outcomes. D-Carbon can support temporary power suppliers to demonstrate the commercial value of cleaner power to productions, helping progress to be recognised, rewarded and incentivised through clearer, more standardised energy efficiency reporting.
- Evidence cleaner power commercial value to productions
- Report energy performance consistently
- Show contribution to industry commitments
- Bridge the gap between industry net zero targets and supplier commercial reality
Each route uses the same BAU vs Clean vs Actual approach, so decisions can be compared more fairly and learning can feed back into future production planning, supplier delivery and wider industry progress.
Clean power services
D-Carbon support can start with a simple snapshot or develop into a fuller review, action plan or slate review depending on the scale of the production and the evidence needed.
Free Power Snapshot
A quick estimate of the likely fuel, carbon and cost impact of temporary power use. Useful when productions need a simple starting point before commissioning a fuller review.
- Immediate estimate
- BAU fuel, carbon and baseline indication
- Simple comparison starting point
- Helps identify whether a fuller review is worthwhile
Clean Power Review
A practical paid review of your temporary power set-up, likely fuel use and cleaner options. It helps identify whether cleaner power is likely to save money, add cost, or need better evidence before final decisions.
- Expected power use
- BAU fuel and carbon baseline
- Cleaner option comparison
- Commercial opportunities and risks
- Practical constraints and evidence gaps
- Evidence summary for albert and carbon reporting where relevant
Energy Efficiency Action Plan
Fuller support to plan, manage, review and evidence cleaner power delivery. The EEAP compares what was expected, what was planned and what was actually delivered, capturing barriers and learning for future productions.
- Forecast and planning support
- Supplier briefing support
- BAU vs Clean vs Actual comparison
- kWh/L and cost/kWh review
- Outcome evidence for albert, carbon reporting and future learning where relevant
- Barriers and lessons captured for future productions
Slate-wide Clean Power Support
Support for broadcasters, studios and commissioners who need to understand clean power readiness, recurring barriers and repeatable opportunities across multiple productions or slates.
- Multi-production clean power review
- Temporary power readiness
- Pilot and framework support
- Supplier briefing alignment
- Outcome review and learning
- Evidence to support wider commitments
- Identification of recurring barriers and opportunities
Bespoke support for broadcasters, streamers, suppliers and production teams.
D-Carbon can also support broadcasters, streamers, temporary power suppliers and production teams who need clearer forecasting, reporting alignment, training or learning across multiple productions.
Broadcaster and streamer support
Support to measure clean power progress across productions, identify recurring barriers and build learning into future commissioning, production planning and supplier engagement.
Supplier support
Bespoke support for suppliers who want to forecast fuel use, compare cleaner options and report production energy data in a clearer, more standardised way.
Production management training
Practical training for production managers, line producers and sustainability teams who need to understand temporary power cost, energy efficiency and cleaner power options before decisions are locked. Training can cover generator sizing, fuel waste, kWh/L, cost/kWh, BAU vs Clean vs Actual comparison, supplier briefing and evidence for carbon and albert reporting.
Clean power work also creates better carbon and albert evidence.
D-Carbon's Clean Power Review and Energy Efficiency Action Plan can help productions capture fuel, carbon, energy performance and decision evidence in a way that supports albert, carbon budgeting and broadcaster reporting requirements where relevant.
This keeps reporting connected to real production decisions, rather than becoming a separate exercise at the end.
- Measured cost and energy performance
- Fuel and carbon evidence
- Supplier information where available
- Evidence quality review
- Barriers and learning for future productions
Start with the right comparison.
Whether you are planning one production, reviewing a slate or improving supplier reporting, D-Carbon can help compare BAU, cleaner options and actual outcomes so progress is clearer, barriers are understood and learning is not lost.
