Reducing emissions
Event Operations
Event Operations emissions have decreased by over 1,000 tCO₂e, representing a 6% reduction against 2018 and a 17% reduction on a per‑race basis. This progress has been achieved during a period of significant growth with the calendar increasing from 21 events in 2018 to 24 events in 2025. The reduction has been driven by incredible collaboration with our promoters and a continued transition to renewable energy sources at all Grands Prix.
Alternative Energy Transition
Over 90% of our promoters are powering at least part of their events using renewable or alternative energy sources, including green tariffs, on‑site generation and alternative fuels. Additionally, F1 teams’ factories and Formula 1 offices are well underway in their transition to renewable energy and alternative energy sources. Combined, this collective work delivered a reduction of almost 40,000 tCO₂e compared to the 2018 baseline, fundamental to the success of our commitments.

Full European Event Energy Transition (EET)
In 2025, every European Grand Prix featured alternative energy solutions in their paddocks, pit lanes and technical centres, powered by lower‑carbon energy sources such as HVO, solar and battery systems. The initiative which began as a pilot at the Austrian Grand Prix in 2023, was scaled to three events in 2024, and has now been deployed at scale for the entire European Season in 2025. The technology reduces associated carbon emissions by an estimated 90% within the areas that it is operational. Working with Aggreko, the delivery of innovative low-carbon energy generation systems using renewable sources such as hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), biofuel, solar panels, and batteries. Following trials at one Grand Prix in 2023, the system was expanded to three races in 2024, and in 2025 was rolled out to reduce more than 90% of event-energy emissions at all European Grands Prix in key areas such as the Paddock, Pit Lane, and Event Technical Centre.

Advanced Sustainable Fuel
In 2025, F2 and F3 cars were fully powered by advanced sustainable fuel, with the FIA safety and medical cars running on an advanced sustainable fuel blend. This technology has helped to inform the fuels that are now being used across Formula 1 from the 2026 season. The technology has broad off-track implications for the automotive industry and existing road cars, as the fuel developed for Formula 1 is designed to be ‘dropin’ capable for potential usage in road cars serving as a fuel alternative with potential global benefits in associated carbon reductions.
