The FIA has issued a statement in reaction to today's confirmation from FOTA that it is seeking to reduce emissions by 15 percent.
The statement reads as follows:
The FIA welcomes today's announcement of the Formula One teams' carbon calculation and reduction programme.
The calculation is entirely consistent with the recommendations made by the FIA Environmentally Sustainable Motor Sport Commission, importantly encompassing the complete supply chain of activities. The programme highlights the important role that new technologies will play in reducing emissions over the coming years and the leadership role of our sport in developing efficiency solutions for the wider automobile sector.
The FIA is committed to furthering motor sport's environmental relevance and to this end is developing a number of environmental working groups relating to issues such as power-train development, facility construction, and noise management.
