The fourth annual stability report of Polestar reveals a 24.7% decrease in the greenhouse gas emissions sold in a car sold since 2020. Major drivers include low-carbon aluminum, greenery battery production, use of 100% renewable power in all model production and better logistics with the use of biofuels on select ocean routes. The report continues to update for Postar 0 projects and brand transparency and sustainable materials.
Poestar CEO Michael Lohsaler says: “Polstar has shown that it is possible to reduce growth with climate effect. In simple terms, we continue to cut emissions because we accelerate sales. Even though a lot of wrong is going in the world, we are doubled on our commitments. When the world Zigs, Polstar Zags.”
The Polstar 0 project was launched in 2021, as a moonshot target for creating a climate neutral car, aimed at reducing the spirit of urgency and accelerating collaborative research, supporting the target of Polstar to become the climate neutral by 2040, the project partner and the Polstar are proud to potentially to tell the project partner and Polstar. 10 tons of low carbon footprint when the project starts.
The biggest contribution is within aluminum and steel manufacturing, major materials for decurbonication, as they represent about 45% of the total cradle-to-gate carbon footprints of Polstar 2. Moving forward in its next stage, the structure of the Polstar 0 project will shift, along with areas that require further research in the form of inputs for mission 0 houses, a polestar-infused and funded research center. Located in Gothenburg, the research hub hosts scientists of the industry academics and engineers, who work together to eradicate GHG emissions in materials, products and processes. As a major principle, the ambition mission 0 is to consider commercialization of future possible solutions developed by House.
Circular, inclusion and transparency remain major areas. Polstar joined the initiative for responsible mining assurance (IRMA) and continued the expansion of onsite audit in high -risk areas. The traceability of the risk material was expanded to include manganese maping. Polstar has continued its efforts to increase the availability of shares and shares of recycled materials from car programs to model year up to model year, which now has 10% recycled materials.
