Polestar 0 Project Will See Company Create A Climate Neutral Car By 2030

In April 2021, Polestar, the progressive Swedish EV-maker, announced the Polestar 0 project - a moonshot goal to create a truly climate neutral car by 2030 without offsetting. The ambitious challenge looks to remove emissions throughout the complete supply chain and across production and logistics. Polestar is now preparing to launch a call for action among suppliers, entrepreneurs, innovators, investors, universities, researchers, authorities, and consumers at large, to collaborate on the important and ambitious target.

The project has been split into three stages, building up to the 2030 target. The first stage will address research and primarily target the CO2e contributors that are today furthest from technological solutions. The taskforce is now focusing on establishing collaborations to jointly find technical sources of CO2e in the entire supply chain, down to the smallest components - from material extraction (or recycled sources) to vehicle handover. Every step needs to be evaluated based on whether solutions are readily available, or research is needed.

Initial conversations have begun with existing and future suppliers, whilst Polestar continues to search for research and collaboration partners.
