Formula 1 has reduced its carbon footprint by 35% since 2018, bringing annual emissions down to around 148,800 tonnes of CO2 equivalent in 2025. The sport is on track to meet its Net Zero 2030 target, which requires at least a 50% cut from the 2018 baseline before using carbon offsets for the remainder. Travel and logistics remain the biggest challenge. F1 has cut travel-related emissions by 27% since 2018, partly by doubling investment in sustainable aviation fuel. The race calendar has expanded from 21 to 24 events during the same period, and attendance has grown to 6.5 million fans, making the absolute reductions more notable. The sport's sustainability strategy covers logistics, factories, and race operations. Racing itself contributes only a small share of total emissions. The next big test comes with the planned introduction of 100% advanced sustainable fuels in 2026.
