Summary
The guide outlines NRK's ambition to integrate environmental considerations into all production decisions, drawing on international experience from organizations like Albert. It identifies transport, energy consumption, and material use as primary areas for reduction, offering specific tactics such as choosing local locations, using LED lighting, and implementing reuse plans for sets and props. The document emphasizes the need for a designated environmental lead for each production and suggests using carbon calculators to identify the most significant impacts.
Key insights
- The environmental impact of producing a single hour of television is equivalent to the annual CO2 emissions of an average Norwegian citizen.
- NRK identifies transport, energy, and materials as the primary areas for reducing a production's climate footprint. Transport is highlighted as representing 25 percent of Norway's total greenhouse gas emissions.
- To reduce emissions, the guide recommends specific operational changes: optimizing travel through local locations and electric vehicles, replacing diesel generators with renewable grid power and LED lighting, and prioritizing the reuse of sets, furniture, and clothing.
- NRK advocates for a structured approach to green production by appointing a dedicated environmental lead for every project and utilizing tools like the Albert carbon calculator to identify impacts.
- The guide cites the 2019 production of 'Julemorgen' as an example of a 'circular' approach, where the set utilized walls from 'Stjernestov' and wallpaper remnants from 'Sn@fall'.
