Although the new fuel is expected to implement the highest category of motorsport, Williams has made an announcement in which they pledge to be climate positive by 2030.

To begin with, the British team has ensured that its strategy has been analysed in detail throughout the past year, in addition to contributing to initiatives that have already been initiated by different organizations, such as the UN Climate Change Agenda and UN Sustainability Development Goals. Similarly, Williams has announced that it is now a signatory of the UNFCCC Sports for Climate Action Framework.
