Food and Beverage Industry

Many food and beverage manufacturing subsectors are energy- and carbon-intensive, and mitigating the subsector’s emissions presents a significant opportunity to further decarbonization in the industrial sector. The subsector faces many barriers and challenges, some of which are unique to food and beverage manufacturing and others that are common across this industry. Unique obstacles include the fact that the subsector is particularly heterogeneous even within the industry, manufacturing a highly diverse range of products using several different processes. Additionally, there is a need to maintain strict levels of product safety and quality compared to other industries.
