decarbonize
Eliminate fossil fuels
Decarbonize means to reduce or eliminate carbon dioxide emissions, typically from industrial processes, energy production, or transportation.
The term dominates climate policy discussions: We need to decarbonize the economy by 2050.
To decarbonize a sector is to shift it away from fossil fuels toward renewable energy sources.
Also spelled decarbonise in British English.
