Bloomberg — Coal Countdown

We help Bloomberg Philanthropies showcase, in video, coal plant closures around the world as governments transition from coal to clean, renewable energy sources.

Today we talk about coal ✺ Check the new case study live on our site.

Burning coal to produce energy is the single largest contributor to climate change.
Algo helps Bloomberg Philanthropies run an automated video series, showcasing coal plant closures around the world as governments transition from coal to clean, renewable energy sources.

⁠⁠It’s a recurring video series focusing each time on a different country, exploring how many coal plants are active or dismissed & how much coal is used as the nation’s electricity source.

Data–driven design ✺ Design-wise we want to instantly showcase changes in the burning 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).
