Imagine if your favorite streaming app had a nutrition label, but for carbon emissions instead of calories. This work creates a way to measure the environmental cost of streaming videos and gives companies a guidebook to lower that impact. It's like a fitness tracker for the planet, specifically designed for the entertainment industry.
VOD platforms lack standardized methods to measure and reduce their carbon footprint. This creates a gap between their business growth and the requirements of the European Green Deal.
A carbon footprint measurement method, a pilot VOD certification, a public data dashboard, business clinics for greening business models, and a professional handbook.
If you are a VOD platform provider dealing with high energy costs and carbon emissions — this project developed a carbon footprint measurement method and a certification that proves your service is green.
If you are a sustainability consultancy dealing with a lack of industry-specific data for media clients — this project developed business clinics and a public dashboard that provides carbon footprint data for the sector.
If you are a production house dealing with pressure to meet Green Deal standards — this project developed a first-aid kit handbook that helps professionals implement bottom-up climate transitions.
Based on available project data, there is no specific pricing or cost information provided for the tools or certifications.
Yes, the project involves 8 industry partners and focuses on VOD platforms as central nodes in the cultural ecosystem to ensure industrial relevance.
Based on available project data, the specific licensing terms are not mentioned, though the dashboard is intended to make data public for citizens and policymakers.
The project aligns VOD platform operations with the European Industrial Strategy and the European Green Deal to support the sustainable climate transition.
The project runs from 2025-03-01 to 2028-08-31, during which the pilot SCT VOD certification will be developed.
The consortium is heavily weighted toward commercial application, with a 62% industry ratio consisting of 8 industry partners across 8 countries. This strong private-sector presence, combined with 4 universities, suggests the outputs are designed for immediate practical use in the VOD market rather than theoretical academic study.
