Context
Six case study videos for Innovate UK’s Decarbonising Concrete programme. Concrete accounts for around 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions. In 2024 Innovate UK invested £3.2m in seven projects to cut that, and, with Carbon Limiting Technologies, is developing an Advance Market Commitment so buyers pledge to purchase low-carbon concrete once it’s available.

Each video follows one funded project, featuring contractors, locations, cement makers, researchers and clients:

SISK - A low-clinker Ecocem mix poured into a full-scale mock-up structure at Wembley Park
Cocoon Carbon - A cement substitute made from steel recycling slag
Wagners EFC - Zero-cement geopolymer concrete for United Utilities’ sewer infrastructure
Cemcor - Calcined clay made with existing plant equiptment in Northern Ireland
Skanska - Turning clay dug from HS2’s London tunnels into concrete
Cemex - Graphene-enhanced concrete trialled on a road at a live sewage works

Approach
Much of the footage was shot outdoors on construction sites and industrial plants in UK weather, so I spent a lot of time rescuing wind and site-affected interview audio. I shaped each project into a clear story for a non-specialist audience, used drone footage to show the sites at scale, and graded the series for a consistent look across very different locations. All videos were delivered with burnt-in captions and SRT subtitles.
