Until the summer 2030 should be Formula 1 fully CO2 neutral, and the next big step is expected to be made this season 2023, because it was supposed to be used at that time fuel, which is 100 percent sustainable.
This means that v fuel production bound the same amount carbon dioxide, which is later released in the combustion process. “When we show sustainability in the development of fuels and efficient drives, we send two messages: We do something for our sport and we open new paths,”Is a colleague from car engine and sport explained Gilles Simon, head of the engine department at the umbrella organization FIA. The royal class can open on one side new technologies, on the other hand, adds more to his series green note.
Already in season 2022 should be added to the fuel 20 percent biomass, a year later, however, was supposed to be Formula 1 fuel ZE 100 percent sustainable. They have already acquired for this purpose fuel manufacturers, which have two options: Produce fuel based on based on bio-waste or synthetic fuel, which is obtained from hydrogen and carbon. Both pathways will need to be explored. But fuel manufacturers are skeptical. “If we give them sensible technical suggestions, we can certainly convince them”He says Simon, which at FIA leads this project. But there is more support Simon encountered at engine manufacturers Formula 1. "All four manufacturers have assured us that they want to go this route with us if we can present that this is feasible."
You could also convince them with argumentto be able to continue using current enginesalthough I could sustainable fuel an invitation also to bet again on the old ones V-12 engines. However, they do not want to give up current development and will continue to bet on the topic efficiency. He wants it right now FIA demonstrate to manufacturers that its objective is possible. For this reason, already developing fuels for test purposes. It is expected to be new this year fuel tested with current engines Formula 1.
