Supporting the just energy transition in South Africa by strengthening local value chains and enhancing quality assurance for electric vehicle batteries

Global Environment Facility Projects

Concept Approved

The project’s objective is to mitigate GHG emissions through enhancing quality infrastructure to accelerate the development of low carbon electric mobility market and value chains in South Africa. The project will support the policy framework and the development of quality infrastructure to promote local manufacturing of electric vehicle (EV) components such as batteries, the deployment of charging infrastructure and improving battery end-of-life management. Besides GHG emissions mitigation, the project will help develop green skills and create new jobs in line with the just energy transition policy of South Africa.
