decarbonised
Stripped of emissions
Decarbonised is the British spelling of decarbonized, meaning having had carbon or carbon dioxide emissions removed or reduced.
The term appears most often in discussions of climate policy and energy transition: a decarbonised electricity grid, the push to decarbonise the economy.
Industries, power systems, and entire economies can be decarbonised by shifting away from fossil fuels.
