What is decarbonisation ?
Decarbonisation can refer to the process in which any entity that generates emissions such as a company, organization, or sector, reduces its carbon footprint by reducing its greenhouse gas emissions.

Decarbonisation is a strategy taken up by many corporations worldwide to reduce their impact on the climate and to mitigate the effects of global warming.
