Carbon Scenario Engine

A production manager's instrument. Build a shoot, then move one variable and watch the footprint move with it — against four European carbon regimes that all want the same data in incompatible formats.

Scenario A

Power

Travel 65% of industry total

Leg counts are passenger-legs. The km figures are yours to set — no published source defines the haul bands, so nothing here is pre-assumed on your behalf.

Hotel & catering

Total footprint

Per finished hour

Per shoot day

albert reports per hour of finished content, never per day. This is your own arithmetic, not a benchmark.

Where it comes from

Same production, different country

Only grid intensity and the hotel factor move. Travel and catering are held constant, so this isolates the territory effect rather than pretending to model a whole relocation. Grid figures are production-based and lifecycle-inclusive (Ember, 2025).

What actually moves the number

Every figure below is computed from your own inputs, not from a generic savings table.

Scenario comparison

What you will have to file

Nothing in this tool is invented. Every factor carries its source, its year and a confidence badge — and where no authoritative figure exists, the tool says so and makes you supply your own rather than quietly filling the gap. Open the factor sheet to see the whole basis, including the four things that could not be verified.
Provenance

Every number, sourced

Badges: PRIMARY confirmed from the issuing body · SECONDARY reproduced by independent sources, not read from the primary table · PROXY no factor published for this territory · NOT PUBLISHED no authoritative figure exists.
