Formula 1 has created a working group to inves🐎tigate a future engine formula powered by sustainable fuels to help it achieve its aim of bec꧋oming carbon neutral by 2030.

Exactly one year ago to the day, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fಌ1 launched its plan to become a “net zero” producer of carbon emissions as part o♎f a bid to wipe out the carbo𝓡n footprint of activity at race tracks, including a move to “ultra-efficient logistics and travel”.

Providing an up💮date on its pr🐈ogress over the past 12 months, F1 confirmed how it plans to create a sustainable engine formula in the future. 

The currꦫent power unit regulations are in line to continue until the end of 2025 anꦦd F1 has pledged to keep internal combustion technology in the long-term. 

“At the top of our priorities for both sustainability and our sport is building a roadmap for the internal combustion engine that addresses the environmental goals of our aut𒁃omotive 📖partners and society,” an F1 statement read.

“Formula 1 has long served as platform for introducing next🅰 generation advancements in the automotive world. We believe we have the opportunity to do that with a next generation engine that combines hybrid technology with sustainable fuels.

“Therefore a working group of F1 and FIA personnel has been set up to investigate a future engine formula powered by sustainable fuels. This group will be expanded to include specialists from the OEMs and energy suppliers as well as seeking e♐xpe💫rtise from independent research groups.

“Although the carbon footprint of the cars is a very small percentage of our carbon footprint 🎃as a sport (0.7%) it is🃏 important that the most visual part of our sport is sustainable and can have real world benefits.”

F1 believes it can “lead the way in technologies that rꦿeduce automotive carbꦕon emissions globally” with combustion engines still being a part of a net-zero carbon future.

The current hybrid power unit🍌s used in F1 since 2014 are the most efficient car engines in the world, boasting a thermal efficiency rating of 50% in c🐻ontrast to road-car petrol engines, which are usually around the 30% mark.

“We believe that with over 1 billion of the 1.1 billion vehicles in the world powered by internal combustion engines, we have the potential to lead the way in techn💟ologies that reduce automotive carbon emissions globally,” the statement continued.

“We also b🧜elieve that there is not a single solution to the engine technologies of the future but that a sustainaไbly fuel hybrid engine will be a significant moment for the sport and the automotive sector.”

So far this year F1 has been awarded a three-star environmental accreditation rating, the highest sustainability 💛accreditation the FIA can award. McLaren and two Formula E teams, Mahindra and Envision Virgin Racing have also been given a three-star rating.

F1 has also signed the United Nations’ Sports fo🐲r Climate Action Framework that requires all members to undertake systematic efforts to promote greater environme൲ntal responsibility, in line with its own plans to become net-zero carbon by 2030.

From 2021, the FIA, F1 and its 10 teams will 🧸work to “significantly reduce the amount of single-use plastic bottles and cutlery and food waste” in the pit and paddock at events.

In the coming months, F1 is set to provide an update on the actions being taken to increase ꦜdiversity and inclusion in motorsport, including sport-wide commitments made through the task force it established back in June.

On Wednesday, Red Bull announced its own 'NO BUཧLL' sustainability drive following a three-year carbon footpr🎃int study. 

The team said it had set "aggressive targets" to achieve net carbon neutral status for the 2020 season and reduce team carꦏbon emissions by "5000 tonnes" in 2021. 

ཧ“We 👍are working with Gold Standard to responsibly offset carbon emissions such as flights, freight and manufacturing operations that are currently unavoidable," said a Red Bull statement. 

"Yes, we’re working to further reduce these emissions. Yes, we’ll be continuing our monit🌱oring and identifying every opportunity to improve. But we’re not hiding behind this.

“Having taken action for our currently unavoidable emissions, our attention turns to the 48% of our carbon footprint which lies firmly in our hands – our facilities in Milton Keynes and our ‘NO BULL’ committee have been hard 🐽at work.”

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner said: 🐭;“We are in full support of F1’s ‘Countdown to Zero’ initiative and we all have a part to play in minimizing our environmental impact.

"As a team we have taken time to analyse our team before embarking on our straight talking ‘NO BULL’ initiative. We aim to be open and di❀sclose our carbon footprint in order to provide a narrative of our journey, including the challenges𒈔 we face as a business.

"Our partnership with Gold Sta💝ndard forms part of an evolving strategy and mindset change which we will embark upon with the same commitment as we do our rac෴ing.”
