Abertay Carbon Capture game gets Royal treatment at BAFTA HQ

Net Carbon, a game developed by four Abertay University students for energy company SSE Thermal, has been demonstrated to HRH Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, at BAFTA鈥檚 headquarters in London.

Second-year BA(Hons) Game Design and Production student Harry Petch travelled to the UK capital to celebrate the refurbishment of BAFTA鈥檚 Piccadilly headquarters and to demonstrate the game originally created for SSE Thermal to showcase at COP26 in Glasgow.

Harry created Net Carbon alongside fellow Games Design and Production students Cameryn Tuliao, and Jaime Williams and BA (Hons) Computer Games Application Development student Jordan Han.

The team formed during a game jam when groups of students were asked to submit ideas for an interactive game inspired by carbon capture technology.

The students originally met via the competition and decided to collaborate in the game jam, with the brief from SSE Thermal looking for an educational video game focused on carbon capture and storage.

Harry was previously the recipient of a BAFTA Young Game Designer Mentor award for his work in creating games development clubs whilst in Sixth Form at Oakwood Grammar School.

Harry said: 鈥淚 was delighted to be invited by BAFTA to visit their newly-refurbished HQ and demonstrate Net Carbon for the Duke of Cambridge.

鈥淧rince William was a great sport and was keen to find out more about the contribution the games industry makes to the UK economy.

鈥淚t was great to see the investment BAFTA have put into their games division so more young students like me can have the best start possible within the industry.鈥�

Gregor White, Dean of School of Design and Informatics at Abertay University added: 鈥淲e鈥檙e thrilled that Harry had the chance to demonstrate Net Carbon for Prince William at BAFTA.

鈥淲orking on this project with SSE Thermal in the run up to COP 26 has been fantastic and is just one example of industry experience young creators can have when studying at Abertay.

鈥淲e鈥檙e all excited to see what Harry and the team produce as they continue their studies with us.鈥�

John Johnson, Director of Development at SSE Thermal, said: 鈥淭he team at Abertay University did a tremendous job in creating 鈥楴et Carbon鈥� in the run up to COP26, where SSE served as a Principal Partner to the UK Government.

鈥淚t helped to show the vital role carbon capture will play in helping the UK achieve its net zero targets, and proved popular with members of the public as well as delegates. It鈥檚 fantastic to see the game is continuing to make an impact, and I鈥檓 sure Prince William was impressed by the level of skill exhibited by the team from Abertay.鈥�

Lisa Prime, Children and Young People Manager at BAFTA added:0鈥淏AFTA was delighted to invite Harry to represent its Young Game Designer initiative to HRH The Duke of Cambridge at the re-opening of 195 Piccadilly.

鈥淚n addition to being two times YGD finalist, Harry received a YGD Mentor Award in 2021.聽 He is a shining example of the benefits and importance of giving back to the games community and has supported his peers and younger students in developing their expertise and networks.聽

鈥淏AFTA is proud of the YGD alumni who came together to develop Net Carbon and demonstrate how games can have significant social impact and benefit thinking around sustainability and the climate emergency.鈥�
