F1 Chief Technical Officer Pat Symonds revealed that ARAMCO and F1 are on track to achieve 100 percent sustainable fuel.

While in 2022, F1 is experimenting with a mix of fossil fuels and E10 fuels at 10 percent in the mix, it has more audacious plans for the near future as it aims to become a fully sustainable sport by 2030. The next generation of F1 engines will use 100 percent sustainable fuels that will be developed in collaboration with the various fuel companies that are part of the ecosystem. The plan is to help develop and manufacture sustainable fuels that will be used first for the World Championships starting in 2026 and then extended for commercial use in consumer vehicles.
A 100 percent drop in fuel is a type of sustainable fuel that can be taken advantage of by an internal combustion engine without modification. This will be a laboratory made solution.
The new biofuel will require no engine modification
“The carbon capture scheme will be laboratory-generated using components that come from municipal waste or non-food biomass, while achieving greenhouse gas emissions savings of at least 65 percent relative to fossil-derived petrol,” the F1 website said.
Crucially, there will be no loss in performance from this new fuel as it will match the energy density of current fossil fuel-based petrol – meaning the cars will be just as fast as they are today.
“It is estimated that by 2030 there will be 1.8 billion cars on the road, of which only 8% will be pure battery electric vehicles (BEVs) – while internal combustion engines are used for air and sea travel as well as the haulage industry. 100% of advanced sustainable drop-in fuels. By leading the development, Formula 1 can play its part in making a huge impact on the global transport sectors’ greenhouse gas emissions,” the official F1 website said.
F1 also wants to maintain the same amount of power
Additionally, F1’s Chief Technical Officer, Pat Symonds, revealed that ARAMCO and F1 are on track to achieve 100 percent sustainable fuel.
“The thing that sets the goal is to find just enough of the products that we need. There’s a lot of ethanol around, it’s easy to put in. But when you start getting into these more complex molecules, a lot Nothing happens and that is why mid-decade is realistic,” he said.

“Carbon capture is a method that we’re actually quite curious about because it takes carbon directly out of the air. It’s in its infancy, but there are plants that do it; Canada has a few, Switzerland has one.” Which is big enough, there are some in South America that are quite big. So it’s possible, and I think in 20 years’ time, there will actually be a lot around it. But it’s very, very experimental,” he said. said.
