What Previous attendees have to say about the event:
An Iconic, Sustainable Venue
Silverstone has been awarded Three-Star Environmental accreditation by the FIA in recognition of the impressive progress being made on its journey to a net zero future. Since launching its Shift to Zero strategy in 2022 Silverstone has made considerable progress including introducing, in that short time, a significant solar project with the installation of 2,764 panels on the roof of the Wing which generates over 13% of the venue’s energy.
In addition to this, all on site generators, under the control of Silverstone, now run on HVO biofuel, resulting in a 90% reduction of emissions, 50% of its lighting has been switched to LED, with the ambition to have 100% by 2025, and following a switch in energy providers in April 2023, the venue is now fully powered by renewable energy.
In 2023, the circuit also installed 24 solar powered EV charge points so visitors and staff can recharge while on site. From a waste point of view, Silverstone has already reached its target to recycle 35% of the total waste collected on site in 2023 and sent the remainder to a Waste for Energy programme facility that helps to power 50,000 homes in Oxfordshire.
