Decarbonisation
Carbon & ClimateDecarbonisation is the process of reducing carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions from energy systems, industrial processes, transport, and buildings. Strategies include transitioning to renewable energy, electrification, energy efficiency improvements, process changes, fuel switching, and carbon capture. Decarbonisation pathways are guided by science-based targets and are central to achieving Paris Agreement goals and national net zero commitments.
