The purpose of this application is to (re)produce burning ember diagrams of the style used in IPCC reports. The Ember Factory takes standardised Excel sheets describing color transitions as input. It produces quality figures in PDF format. Obtained figures are editable with vector-drawing software if needed. Excel sheets may include a set of parameters describing the layout of figures so as to minimise the need for editing and to enable quick production of a new figure when risk-related data is updated.
A short summary of changes to the application is provided here.
The last major upgrade was on 16 October 2022. No maintenance is planned for the moment. An update of the Ember Factory should come before the end of 2022.
There are two applications in development. They are available to specific users.
One of these is expected to become public within 6 - 9 months, the other will depend on the interest of researchers and research projects.

This website was created to host application(s) related to climate change research in an independent way with limited burden (out of commercial platforms, without tracking users in any way, and with open-source tools). If you need to host such a (relatively light-weight) application and look for a server, you may contact philippe.marbaix@uclouvain.be for possible cooperation. Evidently, we cannot make any promise before analysing potential suggestions. Some information on how the current app works is provided here.
