The phrase "a mechanism for generating" is correct and usable in written English.
You can use it when describing a system or process that produces or creates something, often in technical or scientific contexts.
Example: "The research team developed a mechanism for generating renewable energy from waste materials."
Alternatives: "a system for producing" or "a method for creating".
