WHAT DOES DECARBONIZATION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Low-carbon economy

A low-carbon economy, low-fossil-fuel economy, or decarbonised economy is an economy that has a minimal output of greenhouse gas emissions into the environment biosphere, but specifically refers to the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. GHG emissions due to anthropogenic activity are increasingly either causing climate change or making climate change worse. Scientists are concerned about the negative impacts of climate change on humanity in the near future. Globally implemented LCEs are therefore proposed by those having drawn this conclusion, as a means to avoid catastrophic climate change, and as a precursor to the more advanced, zero-carbon society and renewable energy economy. In terms of large industrialized nations, mainland France, due primarily to 75% of its electricity being produced by nuclear power, has the lowest carbon dioxide production per unit of GDP in the world and it is the largest exporter of electricity in the world, earning it approximately 3 billion euros annually in sales.

Definition of decarbonization in the English dictionary
