CLIMATE TRANSITION Electrification Value Chain Catalyzing decarbonization across industries will require not Goldman Sachs supports this technology innovation and only changes at the company level but also at the system development at every stage of the value chain — from level. We’ve seen firsthand this potential for system-level helping automakers access key metals and manage price change through our work activating the full life cycle of risk in production, to advising on acquisitions for emerging electrification. In the US, the transportation sector generates electric vehicle (EV) charging network operators, to financing the largest portion of greenhouse gas emissions at 29%. Not the rapid growth of next-generation battery manufacturers. only can vehicle electrification significantly reduce emissions output, but it can also encourage technological innovation through critical areas of vehicle development, such as batteries and charging networks.
