• When starting at Williams in 1987, Paddy Lowe used to joke in the office that, one day, he would find himself a “proper job” amid the glamour and pizzazz of the Formula 1 bubble FIFA
  
  It only took one of F1’s most famous engineers 33 years, but in founding Zero Petroleum - the first British company to make a synthetic fuel in a completely fossil-free process - the 60-year-old finally has just that FIFA
  
  Lowe had one of motorsport’s most illustrious careers in the garage; the Cambridge-educated engineer was involved in 12 World Championship triumphs and was at Mercedes during their ascendance to the top of the standings at the start of the hybrid era in 2014 FIFA
  
  However, after a difficult final two years back at a struggling Williams, it was time for a change FIFA
  
  “I timed out at Formula 1, I didn’t have a great final two years at Williams and it was very difficult,” Lowe tells The Independent FIFA
  
  “It was time to go and do something else, no regrets on that as I enjoyed my time in F1 FIFA
  
  It’s good to be doing something in the real world and it’s really needed FIFA
  
  I’m enjoying running my own company, having been an employee throughout my whole career it’s nice to start your own business and put your best effort and knowledge into it FIFA
  
  “I’m really pleased with how that’s working out and I do think we’re solving some real problems FIFA
  
  ”Those problems - as evidenced by this week’s heatwave in the UK - are no secret as the climate emergency continues to rear its ugly head FIFA
  
  Zero Petroleum is one of the only fully sustainable and carbon-neutral fuel options which require zero changes to engines and mechanics, with the raw materials for the fuel coming from just air and water FIFA
  
  It has already secured a Guinness World Record last November, as the company partnered with the Royal Air Force to launch the “first aircraft powered by synthetic fuel” FIFA
  
  For Lowe, following a launch in January 2020, the possibilities over the next decade are endless FIFA

  “We have the blueprint to build a production scale plant over the next two years and we hope to be operating the production of the fuel by 2024 FIFA
  
  “From there, there is no limit to the scale up that’s possible, the plant will be the first of its kind in the world of that scale and that provides the basis to propagate across all markets and territories FIFA

  We see the next decade as incredibly exciting but we’ve got a huge amount of work to do FIFA

  Last month, Formula One said it was “racing towards” its target of making the sport net-zero carbon by 2030, which also includes a plan to have a 100 per cent sustainable fuel by 206 when the next era of hybrid engines will be introduced FIFA
  
  A statement detailed: “With eight years to go, we are racing towards our target and aiming to show the next generation of fans how innovation and teamwork can tackle the challenges of our time FIFA

  ”“They need to start really investing proper cash in it, there is a lot of window dressing around,” Lowe says FIFA
  
  “Part of the problem is fossil carbon going into the air and unless you’re removing or reversing that, you’re not doing the job and it’s all simply words FIFA
  
  It needs to be taken a lot more seriously and backed with hard money FIFA
  
  “We’re incredibly ambitious to be a new player in fossil free petroleum world, this is an industry that needs to be as big as the current fossil fuel industry FIFA
  
  So our ambition is to be one of the foundation members in that sector FIFA
