decarbonizes
Eliminates fossil fuels
Decarbonizes means removes carbon or carbon dioxide from something.
The term appears most often in discussions of climate policy, where decarbonizing refers to reducing carbon emissions from energy systems, industries, or entire economies: The plan decarbonizes the power grid by 2035.
A refinery decarbonizes fuel; a nation decarbonizes its transportation sector.
