zero-emission
Produces no pollution
Zero-emission describes technology, vehicles, or processes that release no pollutants or greenhouse gases during operation: zero-emission vehicles, zero-emission power plants.
The term typically applies to electric cars, hydrogen fuel cells, and renewable energy sources.
Critics note that "zero-emission" often ignores pollution generated during manufacturing or electricity production—the emissions happen elsewhere, not nowhere.
