decarbonise
Eliminate fossil fuels
Decarbonise means to reduce or eliminate carbon dioxide emissions from a process, system, or economy.
The term appears most often in discussions of energy policy and climate change: The government pledged to decarbonise the power grid by 2035.
Industries decarbonise by shifting from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources.
Also spelled decarbonize.
