System 1 has launched its first funding in Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) as section of its ultra-atmosphere pleasant logistics strategy and commitment to reaching Rep Zero by 2030. The main section of funding makes a speciality of SAF purchases through Global Accomplice DHL for air cargo to and from flyaway races for the explanation that Australian Extraordinary Prix in March and covers roughly 20% of subsequent cargo flights this season.
The usage of SAF delivers an estimated 80% nick value in associated carbon emissions per flight, which implies that the flights lined by SAF purchases in the 2024 season are estimated to assign over 4,500 tCO2e (tonnes of carbon dioxide identical), in contrast with the spend of feeble aviation gasoline.
On this first section of funding, System 1 is procuring SAF the spend of the industry recognised ‘e book and articulate’ mannequin through DHL’s GoGreen Plus service. Because the field and SAF infrastructure is rising, it’s not that which you would possibly want to well per chance well perhaps imagine to straight away gasoline cargo planes outdated college to transfer F1 freight with SAF. As an alternative, DHL has enabled F1 to ‘e book’ the wanted gasoline quantity, which then will get added to the supply chain in varied planes the put SAF is straight away on hand. This ensures a excessive customary of product quality and traceability, with all carbon reductions verified forward of F1 can ‘articulate’ them of their carbon footprint. This mannequin helps nick carbon emissions with present SAF volumes and encourages future market growth.
SAF is the most contemporary instance of F1’s continued transition to sustainable fuels all throughout the sport and its operations. From 2026, F1 vehicles will bustle on 100% sustainable gasoline, while F2 and F3 will reach that customary by next season having been at 55% for the explanation that initiate up of 2023, and the FIA Safety and Medical vehicles for the time being spend 40% sustainable gasoline. Grands Prix in Europe are delivered the spend of biofuel-powered vehicles, as well to occasions in some unspecified time in the future of the calendar the spend of alternative energy alternatives, such as biofuel. From next season, F1 will furthermore energy key operational areas of all European Grands Prix, such as the Pit Lane and Paddock, the spend of a low-carbon energy acknowledge offered by Aggreko, which reduces emissions in the equipped areas by more than 90%.
Ellen Jones, Head of ESG, System 1 acknowledged: “System 1 has persistently been at the forefront of innovation, and our early stage funding in Sustainable Aviation Fuel is a testomony to our dedication to suppose on our Rep Zero by 2030 commitment. SAF is nice the most contemporary step for the industry, and underscores how alternative fuels every on and astray can materially nick carbon emissions. This supply of our sustainability strategy is finest made that which you would possibly want to well per chance well perhaps imagine through coordinated actions all through our sport.”
Paul Fowler, Head of Motorsports Logistics, DHL acknowledged: “Our longstanding partnership with System 1 is constructed on a shared passion for innovation and excellence. We are committed to the spend of our experience to transport System 1’s vehicles and instruments round the field in the most productive capability that which you would possibly want to well per chance well perhaps imagine. With 40 years of experience in motorsports logistics, we’re centered on cutting down greenhouse gasoline emissions and making motorsport more sustainable with every step we grab.”
