Context & Motivation

Need for action?

Spearheaded by a team of scientists, economists, and innovators, SwitchCoal aims to reduce global CO2 emissions significantly and mitigate the impacts of climate change. With a concept to earn profit by keeping global warming within 1.5°C and a load of calculations and a data with them, they asked for support. With a great timing of 2 weeks before presenting this potential analysis to the world at the COP28, the translation of the data into a consumable web format took place.

The requirement to make the calculations and the regenerative idea and business plans behind SwitchCoal quickly graspable for wider masses was combined with building giving SwitchCoal the visual look and attention it needs and deserves. We developed the communication and the web experience and even the SwitchTool. 
The goal, to have a stunning presentable web experience ready for the COP 28 was the pressuring part, to support the vision and mission of SwitchCoal ‘From coal to clean.’ was the simple one.

Challenges

01
How do we make scientific content visible that is not normally accessible to the public?
02
How can we communicate and address the topic to simply grasp the idea and make people curious?
03
How can we develop a page and make it within 2 weeks only?

Strategy & process

How we did

This could be a text about a typical design process. Could. But let's be honest. We had just 4 hours to accept or cancel the enquiry. And another 13.5 days to deliver. So this is going to be a brutally honest spotlight on how we approached it. Ruthlessly transparent. Unadorned and raw. Like this orange stroke.

What’s differentiating

Big deal or small dust?

Switchcoal is a marvellous example of how ecology and economy can go hand in hand, although it sometimes sounds absurd to see them acting as a couple. Switchcoal has proven that sustainable energy is not only necessary but can be highly profitable. Adding fuel to the fire of all climate critics.
