Mission Innovation’s assessment has identified that Polar Night Energy’s innovation is relevant at least to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 7 and 9.
According to Mission Innovation’s assessment, Polar Night Energy’s heat storage innovation may have
strong positive impact on SDG nr 7: Affordable and clean energy and
partial positive impact on SDG nr 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure.
Polar Night Energy’s innovation is especially aligned with SDG target 7.2: “By 2030, increase substantially the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix”.
Our innovation enables upscaling of wind and solar energy, and makes clean energy available also during periods when it today does not exist.
Polar Night Energy’s innovation impacts also the SDG target 9.2: “Promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and, by 2030, significantly raise industry’s share of employment and gross domestic product, in line with national circumstances, and double its share in least developed countries”.
Our innovation enables access to affordable and clean energy during all hours.
