MISCANTHUS: The Seeds to Grow a Sustainable, Low Carbon Economy

Over the last few years we have been working with innovative energy crop supply chain company TERRAVESTA. Not only have we been involved in editorial portraiture of their growers as part of their grower profiles, but we have also been documenting the development and deployment of new varieties of this Miscanthus crop developed as part of a large agricultural research and development project at IBERS - Aberystwyth University with partners such as Ceres Inc and the University of Aberdeen.  As part of this we have shot timelapses of the development crop growing in test fields and trials of experimental planting and growing methods as well as documenting the hard work and rigorous testing and breeding of varieries to develop a new seed based Miscanthus that can deliver high yields in the european climate.

Check out this science doc that explains the potential and the development of this new agricultural product and world energy solution.

TERRAVESTA - Energy, Naturally Electric Egg has been working with innovative agricultural company Terravesta to create a short animated piece to promote the firm and their activities.

Terravesta is the UK’s complete supply chain solution for the perennial energy crop Miscanthus. From working with growers and processing, to supplying this reliable and efficient biofuel to a broad array of end users from domestic consumers to larger power generators like Drax, Terravesta are at the heart of the whole process.

Electric Egg were set the challenge of encapsulating the companies activities and ethos, as well as promoting some of the amazing properties of this hardy crop in a short animated piece with no dialogue or narration and little reliance on text.

What Electric Egg came up with was a whistle stop journey that followed the Miscanthus crop from its process of planting and growing, to harvesting, processing and burning. Showing Terravesta at the centre of this process from supporting their growers to delivering the processed crop ready for burning in power stations, businesses and homes.
