Mission 0 House

Mission 0 House is a collaboration between industry and academia aiming to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions from manufacturing processes. The initiative is led by Polestar and Lindholmen Science Park in collaboration with several higher education institutions and companies. The Knowledge Foundation is funding the collaboration with SEK 50 million between 2025 and 2029.

The funding to Mission 0 House has enabled five Swedish universities to join the collaboration: University of Borås, University West, Jönköping University, Karlstad University, and Mid Sweden University. The universities will contribute scientific expertise and recruit a total of 10 new postdoctoral researchers who will participate in the work of developing future emission-free manufacturing methods.

The collaboration also includes the companies Borgstena, Polestar, Sekab, and SSAB represent extensive industrial expertise within the automotive, textile, chemical, and steel industries. Together with co-funding these companies, Mission 0 House has a total budget of SEK 100 million for the next five years.

A unique aspect of Mission 0 House is the emphasis on physical presence and close collaboration between industry and academia. Researchers and engineers collaborate under one roof with the common goal of eliminating greenhouse gases from material production and products.

The ambition is to expand Mission 0 House to include 75 researchers and engineers. More companies, institutions, and financiers are encouraged to join the initiative to contribute to a fossil-free future with modern materials and processes.
