F1 expands commitment to meet much-discussed key target
F1 has expanded its investment in Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) to achieve its Net Zero 2030 goal in collaboration with Qatar Airways, reducing emissions by over 8,000 tC02e. SAF offers a 19% reduction in emissions compared to traditional aviation fuel, crucial for F1’s target of cutting CO2 emissions by 50% from 2018 levels. The use of SAF is deemed a key element in reducing freight emissions, which make up the largest portion of F1’s CO2 output. Starting from 2026, F1 cars will run on 100% sustainable fuel, with the support categories F2 and F3 following by 2025, marking a 45% increase since the beginning of 2023. F1 has also implemented sustainability initiatives like regionalizing the calendar and redesigning cargo containers for fuel-efficient transportation, reflecting its commitment to environmental responsibility.
