F1 races ahead with its net-zero carbon strategy
Development of a 100% sustainable fuel, slashing the use of single-use plastics and reviewing travel and freight logistics are some of the things Formula 1 is working on as part of its commitment to be net-zero carbon by 2030.
F1 has set ambitious targets and has been working with the 10 teams, race promoters, partners, suppliers, broadcasters and the FIA to reduce the sport’s carbon footprint.
Already F1 has reduced its carbon footprint through remote broadcast operations, which has enabled the company to reduce freight, while redesigned freight containers mean more efficient aircraft can be used to transport the equipment.
F1 offices are now using 100% renewable energy, with the company earning the highest sustainability management accreditation awarded by the FIA.
Following the successful introduction this season of E10 fuel – comprising 10% ethanol, which will reduce CO2 emissions overall – F1 is working with partner Aramco and all the major fuel manufacturers in F1 to develop a 100% sustainable fuel to be introduced with a new engine formula in 2026.
It will be a drop-in fuel, so-called because it can be used in the same form in road cars in normal internal combustion engines. F1 will work closely with F2 and F3 to trial the sustainable fuels.
