F1 on track to deliver 100% sustainable fuel by 2026

Formula 1 is on track to deliver 100% sustainable fuels for 2026. The sport's plans are ambitious, but the organisation believes in the rapid development of the revolutionary fuel.

F1 has set itself the goal of becoming "Net Zero Carbon" by 2030. As part of the campaign, the sport is developing a 100% sustainable fuel that can be used by both F1 cars and normal road cars from 2026.

This year the new F1 cars run on E10 fuel, a mixture of 90% fuel and 10% renewable ethanol. Ethanol is fully sustainable and a first step toward the future. However, going from ten per cent renewable fuel to one hundred per cent in just a few years is ambitious. Nevertheless, the sport is on track, as Ross Brawn tells F1.com.

F1 wants to be carbon neutral by 2030

"If we drop a fuel which has much less impact on the environment into those cars, it’s a positive change and we will be sending a strong message that that is a feasible way to go. All the oil companies that work in F1 are all committed to that. It will be a fantastic achievement and a fantastic message to the world that there are other solutions as well.”

"The great appeal is when we find this solution, you can use it in your road car, without making any changes to the engine", Brawn adds. The fuel will help reduce emissions worldwide.
