After the latest stability growth, F1 is moving towards Net Zero by 2030

Formula 1 has come down by 26% in carbon emissions in the last seven years.

A recent F1’s recent report stated that the carbon footprint of the championship was at 168,720 tco2E at the end of 2024, compared to 228,793 tco2E after 2018.

It comes just one year later F1 announced that it has reduced the carbon footprint by 13% between 2018 and 2022.As part of its net zero of the 2030 campaign, 50% of its full carbon emissions compared to its 2018 baseline.

It marks significant progress to the championship that is determined for a huge year in 2026, as the car will be a regulation overhaul with changes for chassis and engine, as well as making its first appearance in permanent fuel F1.

“We are firmly committed to receiving Net Zero by 2030,” said F1 CEO Stephano Dominicali. “This is a solid goal, which is already visible in the significant decrease of the carbon footprint of our game.

“During developing globally, we have shown that sustainable growth is possible and the strategies we have adopted are giving tangible results.

“Formula 1 has always been synonymous with innovation and desire for reform. Once again, this mentality has allowed us to make important progress, not only for those working in this world, but also for society as well.

“We will continue to carry forward our projects and next year we will introduce new tasks, such as the use of advanced permanent fuel in all formula 1 cars, a step that also opens important opportunities for road cars and other means of transport.

“We are proud that whatever we have achieved so far and are firm to continue on this path.”

Carbon deficiency occurs despite F1 being the most popular, with an increase of 2.5 million in the race appearance between 2018 and 2024. During that time, the championship has also increased by a record 24 Grands Prix, which means that if no operating changes were made, the carbon footprint of the F1 would have increased by 10%.

So to compete this, F1 factories have transferred renewable energy sources to a 59% decrease in carbon emissions, while travel emissions have decreased by 25% and more remote work is now being done.

Event operation emissions have decreased again by 12%, again, additional dependence on renewable energy sources while the use of more efficient Boeing 777F Freater Jets means that the emission from logistics has reduced by 9%. It has also been obtained through extended use of bio fuel trucks for goods in Europe.

The head of Ellen Jones, F1’s energy, stability and governance, said: “Today’s results are products of years of hard work throughout the game.

“All areas are assigned with more continuous operation, and this is through this sports-wide engagement and distribution that we are able to achieve such important emission cuts.

“Looking forward, we have a clear plan to fulfill our commitments and further show how development can be positive for both stability and sports results.

“Formula 1 has been specificly placed to show that performance and stability can support each other, and I am eager to see the impact of the pre -declared initiatives – such as changes in our race calendar since 2026 – as well as people coming to help people come to reach our goals and beyond.”
