Overview
- F1 disclosed Wednesday that its latest verified report records a cumulative 35% emissions cut from 2018 to 148,805 tCO2e and an 11.8–12% year‑on‑year reduction in 2025.
- The reported drop combines operational changes such as renewable energy at factories and paddocks with purchased sustainability certificates for sustainable aviation fuel, which lower reported aviation emissions while helping scale SAF supply.
- Team factories and F1 facilities have driven the largest gains with a 64% fall since 2018 thanks to renewable energy contracts and paddock power trials that were rolled out across European races.
- Business travel remains the single largest source at 39% of the footprint, so FOM’s Future Race Operations Programme to move more than 50% of broadcast and related freight off air by 2030 targets the hardest-to-cut category.
- F1 has doubled investment in SAF, made its first sustainable maritime fuel investment, and trialled lower‑carbon trucks, steps that reduce travel and freight emissions now and help shift the sport toward regional logistics and fewer long-haul flights.
