APPLICABLES FROM FEBRUARY 10, 2025
Préamble
To support the video game industry’s environmental transition, the “Consortium National du jeu vidéo pour l’Environnement” (National Video Game Consortium for the Environment) has been formed by the Syndicat National du Jeu Vidéo (SNJV) and eight (8) regional associations: Atlangames, Bouftang, Capital Games, East Games, Game In, Game Only, Push Start and SO·Games, to develop, in collaboration with the Syndicat des éditeurs de logiciels de loisirs (SELL), a tool entitled “JYROS”, the first environmental impact calculator dedicated to video game companies.
In accordance with article 122-18 of the CNC’s Règlement général des aides financières (RGA, General Financial Aid Regulation), from March 1, 2025, for all new applications for production aid from the Centre national du cinéma et de l’image animée (CNC), video game industry professionals will be required to submit a provisional and a final assessment of the carbon footprint generated by the production of a video game work.
Carbon footprint calculations must be carried out using tools approved by the CNC, in accordance with the protocol for the approval of tools for calculating the carbon footprint of works set out in CNC Chairman’s decision no. 2024/P/36 dated July 15, 2024, which can be accessed via the CNC Protocol link (hereinafter the “Protocol“). The above-mentioned consortium responded to the call for approval to calculate the carbon footprint of video game works dated July 26, 2024, to propose a dedicated tool entitled “JYROS – CNC Funding“, which was certified by the CNC on February 3, 2025.
Under the conditions set out in the Protocol, the “JYROS – CNC Funding” tool is a free tool for companies in the video game sector, enabling users to measure the carbon footprint of video games, particularly before and after production. The main emission factors and data to be used to establish the carbon footprint of a video game are described in the Protocol, and in particular in the “Socle Commun Etude“, accessible via the Socle Commun CNC link. The “Socle Commun Etude” lists the input data to be collected, associated with a specific unit of measurement and generic emission factors imposed for certain emission sources.
The scope of the carbon footprint taken into account by the “ JYROS – CNC Funding ” tool concerns the video game production phase.
Access to and use of the “ JYROS – CNC Funding ” tool and related services are subject to the present terms and conditions of use and imply the user’s express, prior, full and entire acceptance thereof.

Article 7: Tool scope
The scope applicable to the Tool is defined by the Protocol according to various mandatory parameters.
7.1- “Phases” scope
7.1.1- Data
In application of the Protocol, the Tool enables the carbon footprint of a video game to be calculated in two different ways: a calculation during the forecast phase, and a calculation after the video game has been produced. The data required to produce these two types of footprint are different in nature: data derived from a predictive assessment (a priori) and data collected for a completed work (a posteriori).
7.1.2- Typology of works covered
The works covered by the Tool are exclusively video games using different techniques (2D, 3D, real-time 3D or other), formats (console, computer, mobile or other), and genres (action and/or adventure game, role- playing game, puzzle game, management game (strategy, simulation) or other). Immersive works (such as works using virtual reality headsets) or works using “stop motion” technology are excluded from the scope of the Tool.
7.1.3- Phases
The Tool takes into account only the following phases of video game design and creation as defined by the Protocol:
Pre-production: phase of preparation for the production of the video game concerned. It involves finding the technical, human and financial resources needed to produce the video game.
Production: the manufacturing phase of the video game concerned. It includes storyboarding, creation of reference elements, modeling, rigging, set-up, debugging, texturing, shading of characters, sets and props, volume creation, lay-out, set execution, animation, volume and mocap filming, scanning and colorization, rendering and lighting, special effects simulation, compositing and title work on computer machines, as well as the interpretation phase.
Post-production: the follow-up phase of a video game after production. It involves assembling the various elements of the video game (images, visual effects, sounds, music, etc.).
Online follow-up: phase of monitoring the video game after its release. It includes patches and fixes.
The Tool therefore does not take into account the distribution, broadcasting, communication, use and end-of-life phases of a video game. However, the Consortium urges Users to find out more about the environmental impact of these phases and emissions by consulting the digital impact studies available at https://jyros-jeuvideo.com/ressources.
7.1.4- Geographical zones
The geographical scope of the Tool is France, including overseas territories.
7.2- “Activités” scope
In accordance with the Protocol, the Tool takes into account the mandatory activities determined by the Protocol, the results of which are presented by the Tool under the heading “Complete results”.
7.3- “Socle commun” scope
In compliance with the Protocol, the Tool takes into account the mandatory emission items listed for calculating the annual carbon footprint of the company(ies).
The Tool takes into account the mandatory emission items for calculating the carbon footprint of video game manufacturing over its entire creative life.
The Tool indicates incomplete items by an insert showing the percentage of form completion and provides a box to allow the User to explain the reasons for the missing data and prove his inability to collect the information.
The level of requirement in terms of the type of data collected (physical or monetary) for each emission item covered by the “Socle commun” for each of the phases (forecast phase and actual phase) is specified in the “Socle commun” accessible via the CNC Socle commun link.
The method for allocating the studio’s annual emissions for each emission item to each video game manufactured during the year is described by the Tool in a methodological guide accessible via https://jyros- jeuvideo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/JYROS-Guide-methodologique.pdf, in both the forecast and completed phases.
Article 8: Terms and conditions of use of the Tool and Services
8.1- Use of the Tool and Services
8.1.1- Use of the Tool
Once logged in to their Account, Users are invited to click on various headings to obtain the annual carbon footprint of the site of the company(ies) involved in the manufacture of the video game.
Users are invited to create a “CNC Report” for the game project in question via the “CNC Funding” button. This “CNC Report” allows them to fill in the “General Information” required by the CNC on the game project and to add various “Local” forms in order to calculate the project’s carbon footprint during its whole production phase.
The “Premises” forms are completed by selecting the option “CNC grant application (production grant)” and answering various questions in different sections:
Energy.
Business travel and commuting habits.
Fixed assets (IT equipment, real estate and company vehicles).
Purchases of products and services (food, office consumables, services, by-products, advertising).
IT purchases and services (data hosting, consumables, software).
Waste.
Users can use a dedicated field to explain the absence of certain data.
Once this information has been filled in, Users must click on the “Validate” button to validate the form. The form cannot be validated until all the mandatory data defined in the Protocol has been entered (or its absence justified) by Users. A percentage of completion indicates which data remains to be filled in. Once validated, the form becomes read-only and can no longer be modified by the User.
In accordance with the Protocol, once this questionnaire has been completed and validated by Users, they will have access to a presentation of the results of the annual carbon footprint of the video game’s production phase in graphical form, with:
The result of the team’s carbon footprint over one year in tCO2e linked to the production of the work for which CNC grant is requested.
A presentation of the team’s carbon footprint by emission item, using terminology adapted to the video game industry.
A presentation of the most emissive items, broken down by sub-item.
A presentation of the team’s carbon footprint by emission item according to regulatory classifications of GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions:
Regulatory French BEGES, most up-to-date version available.
GHG Protocol.
Once all the “Premises” forms have been validated and consolidated in the dedicated “CNC Report”, users have access to the carbon footprint of the video game’s production phase over its creation period, consolidating the results of each participant in the video game’s manufacture (production teams, studios, other service providers, etc.).
8.1.2- Calculation Method approved by CNC
The calculation method approved by the CNC is available at https://jyros-jeuvideo.com/wp- content/uploads/2023/11/JYROS-Guide-methodologique.pdf
8.1.3- Using the “CNC Reports” section to export the carbon footprint report for each video game and generate a report identification number
Once logged in to their Account and having entered their Identifiers, Users are invited to click on various sections, including the “CNC Reports” section.
In the “CNC Reports” section, Users can export the carbon footprint of the video game’s production phase according to the model, scope and format (.xlsx) defined by the CNC in an unmodifiable version, by clicking on the “Download” button.
To export the carbon footprint results, Users must first close the file by clicking on the “Validate” button. It will then be impossible to go back to the entry for any corrections.
Users will be able to save the carbon footprint of the video game’s production phase and send it to the CNC via their application form.
The Tool will create an identification number for the carbon footprint results specific to each carbon footprint results, enabling the CNC to ensure that it has been correctly carried out. This identification number will also enable the CNC’s Direction des études, des statistiques et de la prospective to access, via the CNC administrator interface (as described in article 9 herein), a global extraction of data from all carbon footprints carried out by Users for the attention of the CNC.
8.2- User support
The practical terms and conditions of use of the Tool and Services are accessible by consulting the Tool user guide available at https://jyros-jeuvideo.com/ressources/ and/or via training courses given to Users in person and/or as part of webinars and/or via videos/tutorials accessible at https://bertieformation.com/jyros/.
The Consortium offers Users a help center for any difficulties or questions they may have regarding the Tool in:
sending an e-mail to the address of their regional contact, a list of whom is available at www.jyros- jeuvideo.com,
filling in a form accessible by clicking on the “Need Help” tab after logging in via the Account.
8.3- Raising awareness of energy and climate change issues
Articles in various forms (editorial, report, interview, brief, etc.) as well as videos may be broadcast via the Website in order to raise Users’ awareness of energy and climate issues.
In particular, they are created and produced by the Consortium or any other external party, and made available to Users, who can then access them.
