Carbon footprint of Thomas Dane Gallery (London and Naples), 2018/19
- As with Kate MacGarry Gallery (KMG), the three top sources of greenhouse gas were business flights, the air freight of artworks and building energy use, which together made up 94% of the footprint of the two TMG galleries.
- However, the split between these three elements was quite different for TDG compared with KMG. The biggest element for TDG was international art transport by air, not business flights – and energy use was a much smaller part of the footprint.
- Like KMG, a small number of flights made up a large proportion of the emissions. Just fifteen flights (to the US and China) made up 50% of the UK business flights footprint, while three large art shipments (one to Hong Kong and two to LA) made up over 40% of the international transport footprint.
- Packaging was, as with KMG, an unexpectedly small part of the footprint.
