Hydrotreated vegetable oil fuel could cut emissions by nearly 90 percent.

In 2022, F1 is bigger than ever before with 22 grand prix spread out across the globe. It takes a lot of effort and money to get the teams, their cars and their gear to each race. Most of this is handled via airplane or freight trucks, which run on jet and diesel fuel, neither of which are remotely eco-friendly.

, Wolff and Mercedes-Benz global CEO Ola Källenius said they expect, and hope to play a part in developing, a CO2-free fuel that will be used in Formula 1 cars in the very near future. They’re not the only team, either. The competition as a whole hope to start using sustainable fuel in its race cars by 2026. It’s not just being developed for race cars, either. Wolff said he thinks it’ll work in road vehicles as well.
