What is Energy Generation?
Energy Generation is the process of generating electricity using a variety of different techniques, methods and technologies.
The Energy Generation industry in the UK includes a wide range of companies, producing or supplying energy. This includes more established methods such as nuclear power and the use of fossil fuels, but also encompasses companies investing in renewables or using greener practices such as solar power and wind energy.
Often the Food Technology sector is associated with the use of technology to drive efficiency and sustainability, particularly within the agricultural and AgriTech industries.
Food Tech companies range from those developing next generation foods and food safety solutions to food delivery and AgriTech businesses.
