NET-ZERO CARBON BY 2030

In 2019 Formula 1 announced our commitment to be Net-Zero Carbon by 2030 as part of our wider Sustainability Strategy, setting ambitious targets from “factory to flag” and key members of our sporting community including our Teams, Race Promoters, Partners, Suppliers, Broadcasters, the FIA and many more are rising to the challenge and are contributing to our carbon reduction goals.

What We’re Doing

Since we launched out strategy in 2019, we have achieved the following:

  • image description

    Furthered development on a 100% sustainable fuel for our cars in 2026 and beyond. Trialled a 55% version of this in F2 and F3 from 2023.

  • image description

    Increased our remote broadcast operations, reducing the amount of freight that travels around the world.

  • image description

    Transitioned to 100% renewable energy in our F1 offices

  • image description

    Redesigned our freight containers that enable more efficient aircraft to be used

  • image description

    Achieved the highest Sustainability Management accreditation awarded by the FIA (3* accredited)

  • image description

    Issued guidance to all our Race Promoters to help assist them in best practice when running a sustainable event

  • image description

    Delivered carbon neutral broadcast productions at Silverstone in 2021 and 2022

    Changed our European freight operation to use biofuel powered Trucks through working with partner DHL

What We’re Doing

F1 is developing a 100% sustainable fuel, which will be used in F1 cars from 2026, in line with the introduction of the next-generation hybrid engines. Here’s what you need to know:

  • image description
    The 100% sustainable fuel will be carbon neutral, meaning the same amount of carbon used to produce that fuel will be the same quantity as the carbon emitted from the engine.
  • image description
    The fuel developed by Formula 1 will be a ‘drop-in’ fuel that can be used in road cars without modification and will serve as a sustainable alternative of global relevance
  • image description
    The fuel used in the engine is created from a combination of non-food bio sources, genuine waste sources or carbon extracted from the air, which will lead to a dramatic reduction in emissions but deliver the same power.
  • image description
    The fuel regulations are deliberately structured to allow a variety of alternative manufacturing methods to be explored to further enhance the relevance to the supplying fuel companies

Advanced Sustainable Fuels 

From 2026, F1 cars will use a 100% sustainable fuel in next-generation hybrid engines. Watch below to find out more:
