Using carbon dioxide from the air and hydrogen from water, Zero developed and manufactured a whole-blend synthetic, non-biological fuel in a completely fossil-free process. It also opened the world’s first fully featured synthetic fuel plant near Oxford, UK, and has plans to build a commercial-scale plant that will begin production in 2026.
The partnership with Stake F1 Team KICK Sauber will bring together two brands committed to a sustainable future. Through its parent company, Sauber Motorsport AG, the Formula One team has been carbon-neutral since 2011 while continuing the implementation of processes designed to reduce its overall carbon footprint for both its headquarters and trackside operations.
The partnership also brings together two teams boasting decades of track experience and proven success in the sport. Zero’s CEO is Paddy Lowe, whose career in Formula One spans 32 years and incorporates a role in 12 World Championships and 158 race wins; the company’s team features a number of elite former F1 engineers, bringing the sport’s know-how and innovative attitude into the world of research.
As part of the partnership, Zero’s branding will be featured on the engine cover of Valtteri Bottas’s and Zhou Guanyu’s C44s as they tackle the 2024 Formula One World Championship.

At Stake F1 Team KICK Sauber, we take our commitment to sustainability seriously, and our partnership with Zero is another step on the path to 100% carbon-neutral, drop-in synthetic fuel. Both Zero and Stake F1 Team KICK Sauber are new names in Formula One – there’s nobody better placed to explore technical solutions the world has never seen before.
