Climate change is the greatest challenge facing humanity, but we cannot see the root cause of the problem: the 80 million tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere every day.

The Carbon Quilt is a universal tool that makes greenhouse gases visible. It:

  • brings the abstract concept of a ‘carbon footprint’ to life
  • works on all scales – users can see the actual carbon footprint of a whole continent or a single light bulb

The Carbon Quilt is the focal point for a range of carbon visualisation services that will help society move towards a low-carbon future.

Our business

Local and national governments, businesses and NGOs now need to tell ‘carbon stories’ to diverse audiences. But these are often complex, data-rich and difficult to communicate. We can bring these carbon stories alive, ensuring through appropriate visualisation, that they ‘make sense’ to audiences whether in presentations, web presence or printed report. We can provide:

  • bespoke images as volumes of gas inhabiting a familiar landscape
  • animated images to show carbon reduction scenarios
  • tailored / embedded versions of our Carbon Quilt web-app
  • off-line software services
  • education-related visual resources

To find out how we can help you tell your 'carbon stories' request the Carbon Quilt Briefing document.

The Carbon Quilt web-tool

The web-tool can show any amount of carbon dioxide in a number of different ways. The web-tool has been built with an API (application programming interface) that allows it to be incorporated into other websites and campaigns. Please contact us if you have a website that would benefit from this service.

Our mission is to help people tell their own ‘carbon stories’ by making carbon dioxide visible in the most appropriate way.
