      Cloud native technologies drive major video production decarbonisation: Blackbird and Green Element

      Cloud native technologies drive major video production decarbonisation: Blackbird and Green Element
      ShareTweetPostEmail

      According to prior independent research conducted by Green Element, Blackbird generates up to 91% less CO2 than cloud-based and on-premise workflows.

      As more media organisations measure their carbon footprint and plot roadmaps to achieve net-zero, the carbon efficiency of the supply chain is more important than ever, according to the latest sustainability study titled ‘Decarbonising Video Production’ by Blackbird in collaboration with environmental consultancy, Green Element.

      This new study highlights that whilst considerable gains have been made across the media industry due to the rise of remote production and adoption of cloud-based solutions, broadcasters can go much further and faster by integrating authentically sustainable, native technologies specifically optimised for cloud workflows.

      Independent research previously conducted by Green Element has evidenced that using the cloud-native video editing platform, Blackbird, generates up to 91% less CO2 compared to cloud-based and on-premise workflows. Cloud-native technologies are tackling the problem of carbon emissions – at source. Content producers adopting these technologies are leading a transition to greener working methods. They include EVS, LiveU, Sky News Arabia and Eurovision Sport who all contributed to the study.

      The keyouts of the paper include that in 2020, 480bn hours of live video streaming led to sea ice loss the size of Scotland; 90% of editors are using the cloud but 65% are inefficiently and needlessly moving large files around; cloud-native Blackbird reduces carbon emissions by up to 91% compared to cloud-based and on-premise editing workflows due to its optimized architecture; and a recent ground-breaking live sports cloud production led by the IBC evidenced that cloud workflows reduce power and infrastructure requirements by 70%.

      ‘Decarbonizing Video Production’ has been endorsed by the most decorated female Olympic sailor in history, Hannah Mills OBE. Hannah is also the Sustainability Ambassador for the International Olympic Committee, SailGP’s Global Spokesperson for Sustainability and Founder of the Big Plastic Pledge.

      Hannah Mills OBE, said: “I believe it’s the responsibility of everyone, including athletes, organisers and broadcasters, to do whatever they can to reduce the environmental impact of sport and ensure that people can enjoy live sports in a more sustainable way. I’m happy to see in this white paper that more broadcasters and content producers are adopting greener technologies and that the benefits are becoming clearer to see. As we move towards a net-zero world, cloud-native technologies like Blackbird, will become ever more important in achieving our climate goals.”

      Blackbird CEO, Ian McDonough, added: “A year ago, Blackbird adopted a leadership position by campaigning for a reduction in highly polluting on-premise workflows by employing cloud technology in our paper ‘Video Shouldn’t Cost the Earth’. Much progress has been made in this area as awareness and technology have improved.

      In our latest paper, ‘Decarbonising Video Production’, we see that despite these improvements there is still a very high prevalence of ‘cloud-based’ technology which does not utilise the key efficiencies of the cloud, particularly those of power and carbon consumption. The rise of cloud-native solutions such as Blackbird can help reduce carbon emissions at source, dispensing the need for carbon capture technology or offsets costs.”
