F1 reduced its carbon footprint by 17% over the first two full years of the initiative up to 2021, with last season’s figures yet to be finalised.
The 2030 deadline was announced in November 2019 following a year of research by F1 that also involved stakeholders such as the FIA, teams and race promoters.
Ongoing reductions are based not just on the introduction of future technologies but also on changes in the way that the sport operates.
“Net zero by 2030 means that we are reducing our emissions by a minimum of 50%,” said Ellen Jones, F1’s head of environmental, social and governance.
“We're in 2023, we have seven years, which is a lot of work to do. And we have to use the technologies that are available today.
“Our last carbon footprint was 2021. And that was a 17% reduction based on our 2018 baseline. It's fantastic.
“But you have to make sure we're comparable year to year, given the fact that we have had consolidated seasons, changes to what that is. So we're currently collecting our 2022 data."
