      "title": "Connect to underground public power points instead of running a diesel generator",
      "description": "For a short outdoor shoot, the crew plugs lighting and camera equipment into the municipality's underground power pillars on the square, tied into the local renewable-energy grid, instead of hiring and running a diesel generator.\n\nThis works in city centres that already have this kind of civic power infrastructure installed for markets and public events, and suits a short reportage or live-broadcast shoot rather than a multi-day production. The example given is a local broadcaster covering a public event on a city square in Utrecht.\n\nThe source gives a direct cost comparison for two separate shoots: 20 kWh drawn from the municipal supply at 0.70 euro per kWh cost about 14 euro, against an estimated 300 to 400 euro for a diesel generator for the same day, a saving of roughly 96.5%; a second shoot using 52 kWh came to 36.40 euro, a 90.9% saving. The source states the environmental benefit is significant without giving a separate CO2 figure.",

      "title": "Test battery-and-solar systems as an alternative to the diesel generator",
      "description": "Two battery-based systems are tested as a replacement for the diesel generator: a small solar-and-battery unit, silent, transportable by one or two people, built with more than 98% recycled battery cells, for smaller productions or top-up needs; and a larger battery-plus-solar unit with a hybrid HVO generator as backup, for heavier productions on a fixed site, monitored remotely by app but less suited to frequent moves given its weight.\n\nThe smaller unit fits mini-series or productions with modest power needs; the larger one suits bigger productions that stay on one location.\n\nThe source does not give a CO2 figure for either system. It does give the cost: roughly 89 euros a day for the smaller unit, and around 800 euros a week for the larger one.",

      "title": "Phase out diesel generators in stages, ending on green grid power plus batteries",
      "description": "The festival cuts diesel use step by step over several editions — from a baseline of 50,000 litres down to 2,150 litres, then through a transitional period on biodiesel — before moving, from 2022, to fully fossil-free power: more than two-thirds of the site's energy comes from the host venue's green grid connection, the rest from batteries. Energy use is mapped zone by zone from equipment lists and operating hours.\n\nThis is a multi-year approach, and depends on the host site already having, or being able to get, a green grid connection — it is easiest to repeat at a venue that already has that infrastructure.\n\nThe source gives a 95.7% drop in diesel between the baseline year and 2019. No overall carbon or budget figure is given for the later, fossil-free phase.",
