F1 on track to reach Net Zero by 2030 with SAF

Formula 1 is on track to become net zero by 2030 having witnessed 26% reduction in its carbon emissions by the end of 2024 compared to its 2018 baseline, the company said in its sustainability report for 2025.

In addition to other initiatives to decarbonise, Formula 1 has also relied heavily on sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to achieve these targets.

“Emissions from Travel have reduced by almost 20,000 tCO2e compared to 2018, representing a 25% reduction in this area. This has been achieved through the increased rollout of remote broadcast operations, and F1 Teams making investments in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) for their race travel operations,” the company said in its report.

In addition, it said that the company has a clear path to achieving Net Zero in 2030 and will continue to invest in its alternative fuel strategy, including increasing use of SAF.

“We are strongly committed to achieving Net Zero by 2030. It is a concrete goal, already visible in the significant reduction of our sport’s carbon footprint. While continuing to grow globally, we have shown that sustainable development is possible and that the strategies we have adopted are yielding tangible results,” said Stefano Domenicali, president and CEO of Formula 1.

Moreover, F1 further added that it has made significant investments in SAF as part of its ultra efficient logistics strategy.

“Our combined 2024 investment in SAF with Global Partners DHL and Qatar Airways reduced total related emissions by more than 8,000 tCO2e (tonnes of CO2 equivalent), an approximate 19% reduction in related emissions – compared to traditional aviation fuel – for the air freight charter programme operated by Formula 1 across the flyaway events of the 2024 season. This investment will grow in the years to come,” said the company in its statement.
