Other Ways to Make the Food Industry Greener
There is no use in pretending that the global food industry is not a high energy consumer. The food industry is responsible for the consumption of 30% of energy across the world. It is also behind 20% of all greenhouse gas emissions. As you can imagine, the food & beverage industry undeniably has a huge role to play in the reduction of emissions and energy use.
This is a problem that has to be addressed by reducing its carbon footprint, which can ultimately save businesses a lot of money. There are three ways to make sustainability more accessible: investment…
The Solar Power Boom and Supply Chain in 2022
The year 2022 possibly shapes up to be a period of remarkable economic growth for solar power – provided that constraints in the supply chain will not impair the industry.
