energy industry
Fuel and electricity
The energy industry encompasses businesses involved in producing, distributing, and selling energy—from fossil fuels like oil, natural gas, and coal to renewable sources like solar, wind, and hydroelectric power.
It includes extraction companies, refineries, utilities, and increasingly, firms developing alternative technologies.
The energy industry faces pressure to reduce carbon emissions.
The sector remains central to global economics and geopolitics.
