Mission 0 House
Mission 0 House was created as a place where scientists from academia and engineers from the industry can work side by side, in the same office, in a true form of collaboration, with one single task– to eliminate anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions from production of materials and products.
Purpose
To effectively combat climate change, the first step was to stop releasing anthropogenic greenhouse gases — and that means rethinking how we make the materials and products our modern world depends on. Today’s industrial processes, developed over the past century, have enabled the creation of high-performance materials that power our global, high-tech society.
But there’s a hidden cost: many of these processes emit large amounts of greenhouse gases. Mission 0 House in collaboration with Lindholmen Science Park, recognised that improving existing systems isn’t enough. They needed new ways of producing materials — ones that are not only functional and scalable, but truly emission-free.
Vision
Our vision was a future where production processes are truly environmentally sustainable, and where Sweden becomes globally recognized for leading the way in eliminating greenhouse gas emissions. To achieve this goal, we involved equal parts academia, consumer product, and the materials industry. Through this broad and inclusive approach, Mission 0 House aimed to create sustainable and resilient solutions with positive effects that extend across the entire industry.
About Mission 0 House
Mission 0 House started as an initiative by Polestar in 2022. In 2023, Polestar and Lindholmen Science Park conducted a theoretical preparatory study supported by Vinnova, which resulted in a pilot phase in 2024. The pilot included several industry partners and universities providing engineers, master’s students, and a postdoctoral researcher. The pilot phase was financed by industry partners, Vinnova, and Västra Götalandsregionen to a total value of over 20 million SEK.
During the pilot phase the following companies contributed to the study: Borgstena, Boliden, Lindholmen Science Park, Polestar, SEKAB, SKF, SSAB, Stora Enso and Volvo Cars, and these universities have contributed with master's students and a postdoctoral researcher: Luleå University of Technology, Uppsala University, Chalmers University of Technology, and Linnaeus University.
