Dandelooo’s companion studio Ooolala right now revealed the corporate’s full carbon footprint for the yr 2022, out there right here. Launched in 2018, Ooolala was designed from its inception to develop a sustainable strategy to ensure a really low footprint for any producer prepared to cut back its influence on the planet.
“It has at all times been of excessive significance for my companion Emmanuèle Petry and I as animation producers to convey to the market productions which might be respectful of the setting,” says Jean Baptiste Wery CEO. “When constructing our studio, we thought it was a singular alternative to take action. These figures are a significant achievement as they verify how virtuous the studio already is. To offer a comparability, all our amenities and tools characterize lower than the emissions of a U.S. citizen in a yr.”
Past these outcomes, Ooolala will be capable to monitor and adapt its carbon consumption primarily based on expertise and measured in actual time because of its new internally developed expertise “ecooo” (with the assist of France 2030 and the CNC’s technical business funding).
“We wished to have the ability to perceive how our decisions and actions are literally impacting and to have the ability to make decisions primarily based on that information. ‘ecooo’ opens up an immense subject of exploration that we’re simply beginning to discover,” provides Wery.
These investments will allow Ooolala to extend capability to 100/200 artists in single or multi-site with out deteriorating efficiency.
Ooolala’s carbon footprint can be helped by the studio’s 2D specialization. “2D animation is an actual asset to assist the business scale back its influence,” Wery notes. “It makes use of little or no power in comparison with 3D and VFX that are very demanding when it comes to rendering energy and cooling techniques.”
The carbon footprint measure was carried out by the engineering and consulting agency Workflowers, which helps business firms of their environmental technique.
“The constructive outcomes present the seriousness of Ooolala’s strategy in implementing good environmental practices for the animation sector,” says Cédric Lejeune, CEO of Workflowers. “The care taken, specifically, with the administration of scorching/chilly air flows within the machine room and the selection of workstation configurations has made it doable to significantly scale back the emissions related to the infrastructure. The actual-time measurement technique makes it doable to detect malfunctions and straight consider corrective measures.”
Wery provides, “Ooolala and Dandelooo plan to proceed their efforts within the coming years as there are nonetheless many areas to discover. With 51 tons of CO2 in 2022, we imagine we will nonetheless enhance our footprint by 30% by further actions and together with workers within the course of to search out options collectively. The affiliation La Cartouch’verte, of which we’re a member, can be taking a really virtuous strategy by sharing actions with all of the studios on the Cartoucherie and we’re additionally working with Valence Romans Agglo, which owns the constructing, to enhance its efficiency. An power audit is already underway.”
Further carbon discount actions the studio is exploring in 2023 embrace:
- Mobility plan to assist workers use sustainable modes of transport
- Further IT automations, corresponding to workstation and server auto activation
- Partnership with natural waste assortment group RoValTerre.
- Partnership with pc & workplace tools second life eco workshop DYNAM’&CO.
