Pensana plc is to be partnering with Polestar on its moon-shot goal of creating the first truly climate-neutral car by 2030. The scope of the Polestar 0 project is to identify and eliminate all greenhouse gas emissions from the extraction of raw materials to when the car is delivered to the customer and onwards to the end of vehicle life. To achieve this goal Polestar has teamed up with like-minded partners across the entire value chain, from raw material suppliers to retailers.

Pensana is delighted to have been invited to join the collaboration. Through this collaboration with Polestar and its partners, which include Boliden - Copper and other metals, Hydro - zero-carbon aluminium, SSAB - fossil-free steel, Sekab - biobased chemicals, ZF - electric powertrains and others, each partner will focus on certain processes bringing together world-class research and innovative thinking to the Polestar 0 project's hugely important import goal. Pensana recently broke ground on the establishment of an independent and sustainable supply chain for ultra-low carbon magnet metal rare earths powered by offshore wind at the Saltend Chemical Park in the Humber Freeport UK with high-value raw materials supplied from the hydro-electric powered mine at Longonjo in Angola.
