Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali has expressed his desire to keep the internal-combustion engine alive in motorsport’s top echelon, despite the push by some automakers and governments to fully embrace electric vehicles.<\/p>\n

In an in-depth interview with Italian newspaper Il Sole 24 Ore<\/a> published on Monday, Domenicali said F1 \u201cwill never go electric\u201d when asked how the sport fits in the era of sustainability and electric mobility.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He added that F1 aims to be carbon neutral by 2030, and that the lofty goal can be achieved by switching to 100% sustainable fuel\u2014something F1 and its partners are developing<\/a> in time for the 2026 season.<\/p>\n

Sustainable fuel, often called E-fuel, is any fuel in which the carbon circle is completely neutral so the carbon utilized to produce the fuel is the same quantity as the carbon emitted from the internal-combustion engine when burning the fuel. The production process typically involves some form of carbon capture technology.<\/p>\n

Key partners in F1’s sustainable fuel project include motorsport’s organizing body, the FIA, as well as Aramco, Saudi Arabia’s national oil company and a major sponsor of F1. Porsche and its partners already have a pilot plant in Chile<\/a> producing sustainable fuel.<\/p>\n

But F1 is not only developing the fuel for use in its race cars. The fuel is being developed with a view to having it eventually produced in quantities sufficient enough to supply most cars across the world.<\/p>\n

In his interview, Domenicali said by 2035, when some governments including the European Union have mandated that only vehicles with zero carbon emissions<\/a> can be sold, there will still be around two billion cars on the road equipped with internal-combustion engines, and that the carbon emissions of these could potentially be offset with sustainable fuel, like the one F1 is developing.<\/p>\n

\u201cZero emissions can be achieved without having to change engines or throw away the entire fleet of vehicles that already exists,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
