Overview – We help Bloomberg Philanthropies track Coal plant closures around the world & showcase, in video, the effort that countries are putting into shifting to sustainable energy sources.

Given today’s environmental attention, one might think western countries stopped burning coal to produce energy —which is one of the worst ways to do so. Yet, we’re still burning coal, even in the US & Europe. The number of active coal plants is slowly decreasing worldwide, but in recent months it actually got higher to fuel our independence from Russian energy.

countries pledged to completely phase out coal by 2030 & 2040
The Bloomberg team has been tracking & sharing Coal plant open data to push governments to meet their de-carbonisation goals. They came to us with a clear brief: turn their website data into a shareable video template showcasing a country’s usage of Coal & how it’s trending. Here’s the website.

Design-wise we want to instantly showcase changes in the usage of Coal by a country. One way to achieve this: the colour palette of each video is linked to the data: it is picked among 5 colour options in function of the country ranking in the usage of Coal (among 107 countries).

Graphs — Often graphs are the easiest way to see the full picture out of complex data. We designed the graphs of this project striking to be consistent & informative, no matter what values are displayed. The graphs in the video showcase ① the % of plants closed, ② the country’s coal usage through the decades & ③ how much coal is used as the nation’s electricity source.

Maps — The data include the exact location of each coal plant unit around the world. We used Mapbox to generate dynamic maps & put a pin on every plant, using different colours to highlight if the plant is operational, planned or retired. It’s quite surprising to see where coal plants are located near you.

Objective — “If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it” says Mike Bloomberg. It’s true – open & public data help us fight sensationalism & keep governments responsible for their behaviour. We are beyond excited we could help better inform the public and give our contribution to the fight against coal.
