At Singapore GP, we are determined to build a legacy of positive change. In line with F1’s goal of reaching net zero by 2030, we have been working closely with the Singapore Tourism Board to lay the foundation for a more sustainable Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix. 

The 2024’s night race achieved significant greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) reduction of 40.6% in Scope 1, 2 and 3 compared to 2022 during the 5-month construction and tear down of the event. The total emissions in the Circuit Park from patron experience zones amounted to 1407.71 tCO2e. 

In 2024, we reduced our Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 40.1% compared to 2022, surpassing the 26% reduction target originally set for 2025. This puts us on the fast track to halving the energy emissions from Scope 1 and 2 from the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix by 2028. 

Our key achievements under our three pillars in 2024 include:

Reducing Carbon Footprint

As a street circuit hosting a Formula 1 night race in the heart of the city, the logistical setup and infrastructure are a huge undertaking. With the Grand Prix being a live event that is time-critical, energy reliability is crucial to powering the Marina Bay Street Circuit.

As a temporary circuit, we depend significantly on power generators for our energy needs. Diesel fuel represents our largest source of GHG emissions and to address this challenge, we increased the use of fuel from sustainable sources by 40% compared to 2023 - following the successful trial of different types of sustainable fuel1 in 2023 to power our generators across the Circuit Park.

A Holistic Approach to Sustainability

The Marina Bay Street Circuit attracts more than 260,000 fans over the race weekend and this contributes to a significant increase in waste streams. To ensure that we reduce waste, we have implemented various initiatives which include ceasing the sale of still water in single-use plastic bottles saving 160,000 bottles, converting 100% of our tableware at the staff cafeterias, Media Centre, Paddock Club, Hospitality Suites and office at the Pit Building to being reusable or biodegradable and encouraging patrons to segregate their waste and to dispose of it in the correct bins.

Social and Community Impact

We believe in the unifying of sport to grow education, employment and volunteering opportunities. We support local businesses with more than 700 local companies being sub-contracted to work for the Singapore race. Our annual social and community outreach program gives the local community a slice of the racing action beyond the track. Through Singapore GP’s #RevUpSGP campaign, the local community experienced F1-themed engagements which include training and work experience for students from Institutes of Higher Learning, school talks, F1-themed exhibits, Behind-the-Scenes tours and the Thursday Pit Lane Experience.

We remain committed to implementing sustainable measures across our organisation and the way we work so that we minimise the carbon footprint of our event. 

¹ Sustainable fuel included the trial of HVO R20, R100, B100 and B7 to power our generators across the Circuit Park. Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) made from 100% sustainably sourced renewable raw materials such as used cooking oil and animal fat from food industry waste and results in 75% to 95% less greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions over the fuel’s life cycle when compared with fossil diesel. Biodiesel is a biofuel blend consisting of petroleum diesel and bio-based diesel, with the number representing the percentage of renewable diesel present in the fuel.
