Top engineer and former team boss Paddy Lowe spent decades measuring in milliseconds how to make Formula One cars go faster, but his tagline now is '600 million years in three minutes'
Top engineer Paddy Lowe spent decades measuring in milliseconds how to make Formula One cars go faster, but his tagline now is "600 million years in three minutes" as he focuses on consigning fossil fuels to history.
Lowe has had no talks with F1 and is not missing it -- he says so unprompted -- but the technology has huge relevance to a global sport with 72% of its carbon footprint caused by air travel and logistics. "This is just the beginning of a very exciting forward journey to take this incredible technology to a huge scale," added the Briton, who said he had always felt "guilt on my shoulder about fossil fuels".
Lowe said direct air-capture synthetic fuels were the future for aviation, shipping and agriculture where electric was not a viable option due to weight or range. Lowe said the next step, Plant Zero.2, will produce enough "100% drop-in" fuel to operate commercially and future facilities would be capable of producing hundreds of tonnes of fuel daily.
