SAF is the latest example of F1’s continued transition to sustainable fuels across the sport and its operations. From 2026, F1 cars will run on 100% sustainable fuel, while F2 and F3 will reach that standard by next season, having been at 55% since the start of 2023 in partnership with Aramco, and the FIA Safety and Medical cars currently use 40% sustainable fuel.

Grands Prix in Europe are delivered using biofuel-powered trucks, as well as events throughout the calendar using alternative energy solutions, such as biofuel. From next season, F1 will also power key operational areas of all European Grands Prix, such as the Pit Lane and Paddock, using a low-carbon power solution provided by Aggreko, which reduces emissions in the supplied areas by more than 90%.

”Formula 1 has always been at the forefront of innovation, and our early stage investment in Sustainable Aviation Fuel is a testament to our dedication to deliver on our Net Zero by 2030 commitment,” said Ellen Jones, Head of ESG, Formula 1.

“SAF is just the latest step for the business, and underscores how alternative fuels both on and off track can materially reduce carbon emissions. This delivery of our sustainability strategy is only made possible through coordinated actions across our sport.”

Paul Fowler, Head of Motorsports Logistics, DHL, added: “Our longstanding partnership with Formula 1 is built on a shared passion for innovation and excellence. We are committed to using our expertise to transport Formula 1’s cars and equipment around the world in the most efficient way possible. With 40 years of expertise in motorsports logistics, we are focused on cutting down greenhouse gas emissions and making motorsport more sustainable with every step we take.”
