The Italian chef and hospitality manager are often seen as a trio alongside Ramsay on their Gordon, Gino And Fred Road Trip series, which has seen them travel to France, Italy, Scotland, Morocco, the US, Finland and Greece in the past.
In their new show, which is has been given the working title Gino and Fred's Emission Impossible, D'Acampo and Sirieix will swap food and travel for tackling sustainability.
Gordon, Gino And Fred is expected to return in September for a new series titled Viva Espana! where they embark on a road trip across Spain, which was filmed before D'Acampo announced in March that he was quitting the show to protect his friendship with his co-stars.

D'Acampo and Sirieix's new series will see the duo eat, sleep and travel as sustainably in a bid to be as eco-conscious as possible.
They will visit Austria, one of the greenest cities in the world that is tackling increased risks that come with melting glaciers, and will also travel to Croatian islands that are in danger because of rising sea levels.
Together they will also work towards sourcing sustainable produce and embracing an environmentally-friendly lifestyle.
In a statement about the new show, the duo said: "We’re thrilled to be upcycled by ITV for another action-packed adventure and can’t wait to cook up some fantastic sustainable dishes whilst hopefully stirring up debate around these important issues.
"We might not come up with the recipe to save the planet but we hope to entertain, inform and inspire the audience to think about making changes in their own lives."
Nicola Lloyd, ITV's Factual Commissioning Editor and Sue Murphy, Head of Factual Entertainment, said of the show: "Gino and Fred have embraced their fair share of adventure over the years, but none more important than doing their tiny bit to save our planet … one organic vegetable at a time. Prepare for epic locations, mouth-watering food and a friendship that’s as durable as a reusable keepy cup."
In March, D'Acampo confirmed that he had quit Gordon, Gino And Fred via TikTok in which he explained that he'd made the decision after finding issues with contracts "very stressful".

The chef said: "Because contracts start to become very complicated and very stressful, I personally value the friendship with Gordon and Fred so much that I would rather the friendship than arguments with the contract.
"So I have decided not to do it anymore because I want to be friends with the boys for many, many years ahead."
D'Acampo later insisted that they had not fallen out, adding: "I love the boys, we have a great friendship, that is not the problem. As I said in the video it's the contracts.
"Sometimes they get very overcomplicated and the main one was about the dates, trying to get the dates together. We tried and got the dates and then the dates got cancelled, then we started with other dates but they got cancelled again.
"Then I thought you know what? I can't do this anymore this has become too stressful I don't wanna do this."
