Climate Gains is an installation that quantifies the future carbon emissions linked to liquefied natural gas (LNG) shipments exported by Yamal LNG, a gas production facility located on the Russian Arctic coast. The project focuses on the shipping activity between June and August 2020, tracking cargo departures and destinations through a custom web scraper that collected and processed real-time maritime traffic data.

The resulting data was printed continuously using a thermal printer onto a single paper roll, forming a physical record of the emissions yet to be released—based on the assumption that all transported gas will eventually be combusted. Alongside this material output, the installation includes a video essay that contextualizes the dataset within a broader geopolitical and environmental narrative. The video addresses issues such as Arctic resource extraction, infrastructure development, and the global LNG market.

By using data as both content and form, the installation reconfigures statistical information into a time-based experience. The printed strip emphasizes duration and scale, contrasting the temporary visibility of cargo tracking with the long-term environmental effects of fossil fuel combustion. The combination of real-time scraping, physical output, and video documentation creates a layered reading of the topic—linking technical systems with their spatial and atmospheric consequences.

The work highlights how data-driven design can document not only what has happened, but also what is likely to happen—visualizing emissions as a future-oriented, yet traceable, outcome embedded in present-day logistics.
