Reducing fossil fuels
Decarbonising is the British spelling of decarbonizing, meaning the process of reducing or eliminating carbon dioxide emissions from energy systems, industries, or economies.
The term appears constantly in climate policy discussions, where governments and corporations commit to decarbonising their operations by switching from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources.
The UK has pledged to decarbonise its electricity grid by 2035.
