decarbonises
Eliminates fossil fuels
Decarbonises is the British spelling of decarbonizes—to remove or reduce carbon dioxide emissions from a process, industry, or economy.
The term dominates climate policy discussions: The government pledged to decarbonise the power grid by 2035.
Decarbonising typically involves shifting from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources.
