Formula 1 has reduced its carbon footprint by 35% compared to its 2018 baseline, according to a new report. The organization says it remains on track to hit net zero emissions by 2030. The reduction comes from switching to more efficient logistics, using renewable energy at race venues, and introducing hybrid engines that are more fuel efficient. The 35% cut covers scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. F1 has also moved to a more regionalized race calendar to cut air freight and has introduced 100% sustainable fuel for its cars starting in 2026. The series is one of the few global sports with a public net zero target and a detailed plan to get there. Critics point out that the remaining 65% of emissions are still significant and that the 2030 deadline is tight. But the progress so far shows that even high emission industries like motorsport can make measurable cuts when they commit to specific targets and invest in alternatives.
