The F80 hypercar is also a hybrid, although its priority is performance rather than outright efficiency, the Luce should help Ferrari reduce its average carbon emissions.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<p>                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/NzowMDAwMDAwMDAwOTUzNzQw\/849_testarossa_16x9_01_d146bbe2-591b-4013-8913-e9edfeb160b5.jpg?profile=rss\" height=\"675\" width=\"1200\"><figcaption>\n<p>Ferrari<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>The Carbon-Neutral Solution<\/h2>\n<p>In a report by Motor1 Italia, Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna mentioned how the company will tackle its carbon-reduction efforts. Whereas major automakers are going as far as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/news\/mercedes-is-building-the-electric-c-class-with-108-pounds-of-recycled-plastic\">increasing recycled content and adjusting supply chains<\/a>, Ferrari is taking smaller steps in achieving its carbon-reduction targets.<\/p>\n<p>During an earnings call, Vigna was quoted as saying, &#8220;We place biofuels in the category of carbon-neutral fuels. For us, they are part of that group, and they work well in our engines. We have already tested different types of carbon-neutral fuels, and the engine performs very well. Nothing changes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Now, the use of carbon-neutral fuels doesn&#8217;t mean the combustion-powered Ferraris won&#8217;t emit any emissions. It simply means the way the fuel was produced compensates for the emissions it will produce once consumed.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<p>                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/MjA5MTIyMzM5MzU4OTc1ODQ0\/ferrari-296-gtb-17.jpg?profile=rss\" height=\"675\" width=\"1200\"><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<h2>An Ambitious Target<\/h2>\n<p>Vigna&#8217;s recent quote backs up Ferrari&#8217;s commitment to carbon neutrality by 2030. That initiative was announced way back in mid-2022, and the folks from Maranello are determined to achieve that. Of course, it won&#8217;t be easy, but adding hybrid models to its lineup is a step toward that cause.<\/p>\n<p>With the promising test results of the biofuel-powered engines, it should help Ferrari get a little bit closer to its net-zero carbon target, which is just three and a half years away at the time of writing. A second EV is planned as well, although recent reports suggest it&#8217;s been pushed back for now. Still, that&#8217;s another model with no tailpipe that should help Ferrari avoid emission penalties in Europe and in some parts of the world.<\/p>\n<p>As for the biofuel-powered engines, there&#8217;s no definite timeline for the start of their application. Ferrari does have two new models coming soon, one of which will likely be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/news\/ferraris-1184-hp-f80-hypercar-may-be-losing-its-roof\">the hybrid-powered F80 Aperta<\/a>. Either way, it needs to come out before the end of the decade.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<p>                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/NzowMDAwMDAwMDAxMDI5Mjcy\/2025-ferrari-f80.png?profile=rss\" height=\"675\" width=\"900\"><figcaption>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ferrari.com\/en-EN\/auto\/f80\">Ferrari<\/a><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><em>Source: <a href='https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/news\/ferrari-thinks-biofuels-can-help-keep-combustion-alive' target='_blank'>Read the original article on www.autoblog.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Even Ferrari Has to be More Eco-Friendly While the immediate future won&#8217;t be fully electric just yet, regulations around the world are getting tougher and tougher for combustion power.
