Climate-Neutral Automaker Initiatives
Polestar is Developing a Car with No Environmental Impact
Colin Smith — March 4, 2022
'Polestar,' the Swedish automotive brand, has announced a new business initiative it is calling the 'Polestar 0 Project.' The main objective of this initiative is to create a 100% climate-neutral vehicle from production to daily use. This means that Polestar wants to ensure that this vehicle has no negative impact on the environment from when it is produced in a factory to when it is delivered across the supply chain.
In order to achieve this goal, Polestar is enlisting the help of various other companies in the automotive space that each specialize in a different area of expertise. For example, 'Norsk Hydro' produces aluminum using renewable energy, 'SSAB' processes raw materials into steel sustainably, and 'ZKW' specializes in electronics and lighting solutions. It is important to note that Polestar does not simply want to offset emissions of its created vehicles, but rather it wants to truly create a vehicle that does not generate emissions.
