Formula 1 says it is on track to hit its Net Zero targets by 2030 after the publication of its latest impact report that includes its carbon emissions.
The report currently includes figures from 2022 as F1 needs to await data from teams and other stakeholders from last year, but the first season that was not impacted by COVID-19 showed a 13 percent reduction in F1’s carbon footprint compared to the 2018 baseline. That’s despite the 2022 calendar featuring an extra race compared to prior to the pandemic.
The sport’s Net Zero target is a minimum of 50 percent emissions reduction versus 2018, leaving 37 percent still to be achieved by 2030.
Why the fuck is 50 percent reduction called a net zero target??? Can’t this be just called emission reduction target?
It's about green washing and not actually taking F1 back to the front of technological advancement.
Just don't ask DHL how much carbon is emitted shipping all the stuff around the world to make the races happen.
You got waaaaaaaaaay bigger fish to fry when it comes to planes, boats, and trucks involved in getting entertainment into your home.
I put it up there with football (soccer) as entertainment to millions with fairly minimal logistics emissions.
It's less about the emissions themselves as the difference between their marketing of the sport and the actual impact.
I agree, there are way bigger fish to fry and everything comes at a cost.
There seems to be some effort in that area too.
A new fleet of DHL biofuel-powered trucks also reduced logistics-related carbon emissions by an average of 83% during the European season.
