Formula 1 has delivered a 35 percent reduction in its carbon footprint against its 2018 baseline, keeping the sport on track to hit its Net Zero by 2030 target.
The figures, published on Wednesday, show a 12 percent improvement compared with 2024 alone, with the biggest gains coming from freight, logistics, broadcast and race operations.
Almost 80,000 tCO2e (tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent) has been removed from F1 operations since 2018 – equivalent, the sport says, to more than 100,000 one-way transatlantic flights.
The breakdown shows progress across every major category.
Factories and Facilities emissions have fallen by over 37,000 tCO2e, a 64 percent reduction against 2018, driven by F1 and its teams transitioning factory and office sites to renewable energy.
Travel emissions are down over 21,000 tCO2e, a 27 percent reduction, while Logistics emissions have decreased by almost 20,000 tCO2e, a 29 percent reduction against 2018 and 21 percent against 2024 alone.
“At Formula 1, we act and show our achievements through facts, not just words, and I am incredibly proud that we remain on track to achieve net zero by 2030, made possible by the collective effort across the sport to reduce our environmental impact,” said Stefano Domenicali, President and Chief Executive Officer of F1.
“From calendar rationalisation to greater investment in sustainable fuels and alternative energy solutions, we have reduced our footprint while the sport continues to grow and reach new audiences around the world.
“I would like to thank the FIA, all the F1 teams, our broadcasters, partners, promoters, and of course our team, for their shared commitment and for continuing to drive this forward together.”

Several developments mark 2025 out as a significant year in the sport’s progress. For the first time, F1’s freight operations now have lower carbon solutions in place across all three core transport modes – land, air and sea.
Investment in Sustainable Aviation Fuel doubled year on year across F1, its teams and the FIA, cutting related air charter emissions by approximately 40 percent. The sport also made its first-ever investment in sustainable maritime fuel, establishing what it describes as a scalable lower-carbon solution for sea freight going forward.
Alternative energy solutions were deployed across every European Grand Prix in 2025, powering paddocks, pit lanes and technical centres with HVO, solar and battery systems – a key driver behind the 17 percent per-race reduction in event operation emissions.
