All you need to know about Advanced Sustainable Fuels

Formula 1 is set for a groundbreaking shift in 2026 with the introduction of Advanced Sustainable Fuels, a key part of its ambition to achieve Net Zero by 2030. These innovative "drop-in" e-fuels, derived from sources like carbon capture and waste biomass, completely replace crude oil-based fuels and require no engine modifications. While part of a larger technical overhaul, including new power units, this fuel change will profoundly impact competition, with suppliers battling to push the technology's limits. The new regulations will emphasize fuel energy density, marking a significant step towards a more sustainable future for motorsport and potentially influencing road car technology.
