Polestar wants to make a truly carbon neutral car.

—
Last month, Polestar, an electric vehicle maker that was spun off from Volvo, announced it will create a completely carbon neutral car, the Polestar 0, by 2030.
The brand which is based in Sweden, said it will not rely at all on carbon offsets — something virtually every other automaker has said they will use to reach their own carbon-neutral goals — but rather it will actually work to reduce the carbon emissions created by the production of its car to zero.
“Scientists tell us it’s not sustainable to rely on carbon offsetting in order to reach carbon neutrality,” said Fredrika Klarén, head of sustainability at Polestar. “So, we will focus on eliminating emissions.”

"To start, Polestar has partnered with a company called Circulor to track the carbon emissions of various parts that go into the car rather than relying on general industry estimates, the company said. Circulor will measure carbon emissions produced by parts manufacturers and by the power suppliers to those manufacturers."
