Polestar 3 pela primeira vez em Portugal

Polestar has already revealed that it aims to launch a carbon-neutral car in 2030, and achieve carbon neutrality by 2040. In this regard, the brand has now announced that it is taking new steps to reduce emissions in its supply chain by using renewable fuels in its maritime transport routes, which account for about 75% of the company’s total emissions attributed to transportation.

As a result, Polestar has started using 100% FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Ester) fuel for intercontinental maritime transport, which the company claims has reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 84% compared to fossil fuels.

This fuel is obtained from renewable sources, such as waste cooking oil, excluding raw materials related to palm oil or its production.

In addition, Polestar’s vehicle processing center in Belgium already operates on 100% renewable electricity. As production of the Polestar 3 and 4 ramps up, the Swedish brand has announced that renewable fuel will be used for about 65% of the vehicle transport from Asia to the Polestar VPC in Zeebrugge, Belgium.

Polestar also plans to use renewable fuels for transportation in North America during the second half of the year, when the Polestar 3 production begins in South Carolina.

Thanks to the use of B30 biofuel, which contains 30% FAME fuel, emissions from these routes will be reduced by about 20 to 25% compared to conventional sulfur fuel oils.

“It is a very important step towards Polestar’s goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2040, which means eliminating all greenhouse gas emissions in all operations and all phases of the lifecycle of our vehicles, including emissions in the supply chain. The growth of our model range is accelerating and we are expanding our factory network, so sustainable logistics solutions are more necessary than ever,” stated Jonas Engström, Polestar’s Chief Operating Officer.

It is worth noting that Polestar recently published its 2023 sustainability report, which stated that greenhouse gas emissions per vehicle sold were reduced by 9% last year compared to 2022.
