MotoGP will use fully sustainable fuel beginning in 2027

MotoGP has announced that it will begin using partially sustainable fuels in 2024, with the goal of using fully sustainable fuels by the 2027 season.

MotoGP has announced that it will work collaboratively with existing manufacturers on the grid to develop sustainable fuels this decade as part of a push toward a greener future for the world’s leading motorcycle racing series.

By 2024, the series hopes to have all three classes of the world championship – including Moto2 and Moto3 – using fuels that are 40 percent non-fossil in origin.

By 2027, all three classes will be using completely sustainable fuels that are 100 percent non-fossil in origin.

All six MotoGP manufacturers will collaborate with their existing fuel partners on the project, while Moto2 and Moto3 will continue to be powered by a control supplier – currently Petronas.

The fuels will be used in “standard internal combustion engines,” implying that MotoGP has no plans to switch to hybrid engines in the near future.

The fuels will be created in a laboratory using materials derived from carbon capture schemes, such as municipal waste or non-food biomass.

“I’m really proud of this announcement, after many months and even years of negotiations with petrol companies and manufacturers, we’ve reached an agreement,” FIM president Jorge Viegas said.

“This will allow MotoGP to be the leader in this real revolution for sustainability.

“We want to really show the way to all the motorcycle manufacturers that it’s possible to have the fun we all like but with sustainable fuels.

“We hope by 2027 to have completely carbon free fuels in our competitions, leading the way and showing that, even if the racing is a small part of emissions, we must be the leaders of this change; show the way.

“Thank you to all the stakeholders for the negotiations, finally now we can announce the good news.”

Dorna Sports CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta added: “Motorcycles are a vital asset to society, making two-wheeled vehicles a crucial part of the solution.

“Sustainable fuels are key to creating an attainable and viable path to a more eco-friendly world, impacting billions of people, and with a number of different fuel manufacturers committed to this endeavour, global impact is guaranteed.

“Thanks to all parties involved in making this possible.”

MotoGP’s efforts follow in the footsteps of Formula One, which announced earlier this year that it would transition to sustainable fuels beginning in 2025 as it enters the next era of engine regulations with hybrid internal combustion engines.
