In Qatar, Formula 1 has announced it is expanding its investment in SAF through a new program developed with its global partner Qatar Airways. This builds upon the previously announced investment alongside DHL and creates a broader framework for Formula 1 teams and the FIA to participate. In total, the combined investment in the two programs in 2024 will reduce related emissions by more than 8,000 tCO2e. This is an approximate 19% reduction in related emissions, compared to traditional aviation fuel, for the air freight charter program operated by Formula 1 across the flyaway events of the 2024 season. Ellen Jones, Head of ESG, Formula 1 said: “Today’s investment is the next step in our alternative fuels strategy which is central to delivering our Net Zero 2030 target. Through collaboration with our Teams, the FIA and our partners, we are delivering on our promises to drive down the sports’ carbon emissions and drive forward technologies that can have an impact beyond Formula 1. This is the latest example of how stakeholders across the sport are aligned with our vision for a more sustainable F1, which we are thrilled to see.”
